Australian sporting legends have added their voices to criticism of the country's cricketers after their controversial win over India.
"Sport is only sport. It's not war," said Hall of Fame chairman, yachtsman John Bertrand, accusing the cricketers of tarnishing Australia's international reputation.
"Their desire to win at all costs is beginning to blur their moral compass," he told Sydney's Daily Telegraph.
Bertrand, who 25 years ago skippered the yacht that won the America's Cup from the US for the first time in 132 years, said he would seek an urgent meeting with cricket officials to help "re-tune" the team's thinking.
The Australian team was accused of unsportsmanlike behavior during their narrow victory over India in the second Test in Sydney and criticized for their aggressive on-field celebrations after Sunday's win.
