Red face He better toughen up or not tour Australia

Marenello,
Just because everyone does,nt like you should never stop someone from touring. You should see what Warne cops when he tours England. You should see what past players like Hadlee and Botham copped when touring Austalia. All three of those players used it as a motivational toll and ripped the opposition apart. Murali has to learn that in this world, you cant expect to be liked by everyone.One of the facts of life. If he can,t take it, he better not tour Australia because unfortunately, MANY here, if not the majority(if you believe the polls) believe he is a chucker. In the tsunami appeal, that was naturally put aside, but if he comes on a normal tour, he can probably expect much the same as he got last tour. I don,t neccesarily agree with them, but that is how it will be.
It is true that this is the only country where he was CALLED. That is because the ICC changed the rules and as you well know, he has been REPORTED since.
