Melbourne,
Spin legend Shane Warne has urged the current Australian cricket team to stop “whingeing” and get on with the game. Warne, who was part of the commentary team in South Africa when the ball-tampering scandal happened, said he sensed a problem in the Australia camp when they started complaining about the opposition after things didn’t go their way.

“I’m not sure there were team culture problems but I have noticed there is a lot of whingeing coming out of the Australian camp in recent times, about the opposition and things like that,” said Warne.

“I think that’s un-Australian, I have never really heard any Australian sides do that,” added the leg-spin great, who took 708 wickets in 145 Tests.

Warne also said that Australia should never emulate the playing style of their Trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand as many has suggested. “I think it’s a great opportunity for everyone in world cricket to draw a line in the sand and say ‘how do we want to play the game?’ ‘What do we stand for?’ ‘What’s the style of play we want?’ I don’t think we want to play like the Kiwis, which I heard someone say. I mean, c’mon. The Kiwis, no thank you,” he said.
