Why do English people want to win at any cost?

Why do English people want to win at any cost? Using players of other nationalities, allowing their players to physically and verbally abuse opponents. English people should have more self respect.

I don't think English people do want to win at any cost. That's more the Australian (& German) ethos. they want to win of course but within the rules and the accepted norms of the game. The cricketers who play for England are all qualified to play for them within the rules laid down by the international cricket authorities. What's wrong with that?

Many people think that the whole thing was a set up by the Indians. If that is true that is a national disgrace and it is India that wants to win at any cost

India wanna be rulers of cricket.

at any cost.....

So explain why an Indo is the Leader and the 2 white teams are the Followers ?

The white Teams, united .....can still Rule ...

Everyone wants to win at all costs! Yes, physical contact in cricket is pushing the boundaries a little however that is reflective of the player involved, not the entire sporting culture of that country. Also, people from different nationalities have chosen to play for England after qualifying through certain criteria. Its not like the English are stealing them from other countries. ( Except the Irish maybe!! They are definitely stealing them from the Irish!!)
