Aussie media after Sourav again!

Looks like the Aussies love Sourav way too much. Including their very rabid media. Yesterday after India managed to eke out a win, with the help of the light and a bit of an effort by the oldies - Sachin, Laxman and Sourav - the Australian media blamed the inability of the aussie team to win on Sourav.

They claimed he was using deliberate tactics to slow down the game and acc to them he had brought the game in disrepute. For years now Sourav has never had the best of relations with the press and the Aussie press has been vitriolic. I can't understand how delaying the game by a few minutes would have won the aussies the game - he has forgottent to strap on his thigh guard after he came on to bat after the interruption play due to bad light. he and Laxman also had appealed for bad light and they were upheld by the umpires who allowed them to walk off.
So the love affair between the Aussies and Sourav continues.....
