How the left made sport the new battlefield in the culture wars.

The author reveals how the left have managed to convert the sporting field into yet another battlefield for the culture wars in Australia. He mentions that anybody who thought the election of Kevin Rudd as prime minister would mean the end of the culture wars, was not looking closely enough at the 2007 summer's cricket. He notes that while many had strong views about the behavior of both the Australian and Indian teams, few would have thought to place it within the context of the culture wars.
