Aussies told to mind their language
By STEPHEN HULL, Metro

23rd March 2006

Australian cricket fans - not very polite, especially towards the English.


It's as much a tradition of the game as whites, the thwack of leather on willow and curled-up cucumber sandwiches for tea.

But now Australian cricket fans face being banned from using their time-honoured taunt - calling the English 'pommy b******s'.

They face being ejected if they sledge the England team during the Ashes tour later this year.

The crackdown by the game's ruling body Down Under, Cricket Australia, came after South African players complained about racist taunts.

"This is the first complaint by a cricketing nation and it must be taken seriously,' said CA chief James Sutherland.

Asked about Australian fans insulting England players he added: "If the English cricket team regards that as racist is more to the point and we need to be sensitive to it."

Sutherland spoke out after the International Cricket Council reported on the abuse directed at South African players during their tour of Australia last year.

As Uncle Albert said on an episode of BBC comedy series Only Fools and Horses : "In Australia, the only way you can tell the sexes is that the men spit further."
