Australia could certainly benefit from emulating Courtney Walsh. In the 1987 World Cup, he had the opportunity to run out the Pakistan non-striker on the last ball. By doing so, he could’ve won the match for his team- the West Indies.

He didn’t.

He chose integrity over victoryโ€“a remarkable act of sportsman spirit. West Indies lost the match, but won the heart of millions of people.

The West Indies have a rich tradition of honesty embedded in their DNA. Australia appears to have lost that gene.
