Ranking top 8 international cricket teams based on their sportsmanship

If one walks into a dressing room with a bunch of players looking at them for motivation and they say, “play it the Aussie way’, it might be thought that one is asking them to put pressure on their opposition by sledging them. And they won’t be too far from what it was being suggested in the first place. 

Over the years the Australian team had gained a reputation of being too aggressive on the field. There is no denying that their ‘in your face’ attitude can be slightly intimidating but that is exactly how they play their sport. They have been successful by doing that for years and years now. And in no way, it can be suggested that they would have not been successful had they not played like this. 

Apart from the 1786425 stories of on-field sledging, there have been times when Australian players have shown true sportsman spirit. It should be said that the very fact that Australian sporting culture says that whatever happens on the field stays there makes you think that there is good enough sportsmanship within them.
