NEW DELHI: At the top of the medal tally and the undisputed champions of the Commonwealth Games, the Australian team, sadly didn't show any sporting spirit when their cricket team lost the Test series to India on Wednesday.

Enraged by the humiliating loss, some athletes, according to highly-placed sources in Delhi Police, went berserk, destroying electrical fittings and furniture in their tower in the Games Village on Tuesday and Wednesday.

No one was injured in the incident, chief executive of the Australian Commonwealth Games Association Perry Crosswhite said in remarks published Friday. The Sydney Morning Herald quoted him as saying the incident took place after the Commonwealth Games ended Thursday. We don't know who did that," he said. "Delhi Police came around and they have done an investigation.

" He also revealed that an Australian athlete was sent home a few days ago for bad behaviour but did not reveal the person's identity.

They do their own washing? Me thinks they were frustrated by not being able to figure out how to use a washing machine. I nearly beat my first washing machine up.

Aussies are known for their aggressive behaviour..And thus they proved it again...We are well aware of their rudeness in the year 2008 as well where INDIA played remarkably well against AUSSIE team...How can we forget the unacceptable gesture and arguments by RICKY PONTING & ANDREW SYMONDS?? :)))

So it seems that you are not guilty until you are caught red handed.

'Police were unable to determine the criminal damage, saying the whole of Delhi was such a mess to begin with that it is hard to pinpoint which mess was from the construction team, and which was the Aussies'.
