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 victoryโa 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.
