It was reported that some of the English cricket team went onto the Oval and urinated on the pitch after the celebrations. They either didn't realise, or didn't care that there were still press and other people who witnessed this! This got me thinking that maybe this is what David Gower was referring to when he said that Australia, and Australians, lacked "culture". Or, maybe it was the "cultured" booing crowd that we should be aspiring to emulate, or the "gentleman" who instead of handing the ball back to Faulkner, deliberately dropped it at his feet - (at least he didn't spill his beer!)
Just after Gower made his comment about our lack of culture, I watched 5 minutes of a show called Geordie Shore. At first I thought it was a comedy, but, NO, they were serious and it was actually embarrassing to watch. Unfortunately, I could not understand all of it, because they were definitely not speaking the Queen's English, but classy and cultured it was definitely not, so I'm glad we Australians are not "cultured" like the English.
