Border offers advice
NZPA-AAP Melbourne Allan Border offered some friendly advice to the New Zealand champion, Richard Hadlee, on how to handle rowdy Australian crowds on the eve of the first World Series Cup cricket final at the M.C.G. The Australian captain said that Hadlee was treating the jeers too seriously and should consider the chanting and banners in the outer as a compliment rather than an insult. “He should take it as a compliment rather than worrying about it too much,” Border said. “He is a champion, that is why the crowds do it. They do it to (lan) Botham and (Viv) Richards as well as Hadlee.” Hadlee complained this week that Australian crowds were the worstbehaved in the world and said that he would rather play in Pakistan because of the abuse he had received. It was revealed yesterday that he might have organised a walk-off had he received similar treatment in Wednesday’s match. In the event, Hadlee was not chosen to play.
