"The hysteria has gone world wide, and everyone that dislikes the way the Australian cricket team has played. has been given the opportunity to lay the boots in", he said.

Australian cricket stars Steve Smith and David Warner have paid a hefty price for their part in the ball-tampering scandal.
Smith and Warner were banned for 12 months from worldwide and domestic cricket, while Bancroft received a nine-month suspension, for using sandpaper to try to alter the condition of the ball in the third Test against South Africa at Newlands on Saturday.
"I understand the distress this has caused the sport and its fans", the opening batsman wrote.
The hard-hitting opener's relationship with teammates has hit rock bottom in recent days, and CA's fed-up board has told Warner he will never hold another leadership position.
Smith and Warner were handed one year bans from global and domestic cricket after Cricket Australia completed its probe while Bancroft, who was caught on cameras rubbing sandpaper on the ball, was slapped with a nine-month suspension.
"I need to take a deep breath and spend time with my family, friends and trusted advisers".
Australia's pre-meditated attempt to tamper with the ball, and thus make it swing more in the air, has drawn condemnation from around the world, with ball-tampering a serious breach of the International Cricket Council's code of conduct.
Their ball-tampering plan led to Bancroft using sandpaper to scratch the surface of the ball before hiding the evidence down his pants.
