Despite the fact that both South Africa and Australia players have had their fair share in the controversy that has cloaked the series. There is, however, a feeling that the Australians are getting criticized much more than the Proteas.

The recent to join the long queue of Aussie-bashing is former New Zealand opening batsman, Mark Richardson. Richardson came up with a scathing against Steve Smith for his comments on Rabada’s send off.

The captain of the Australian team said: “When you've got someone out you've already won the battle, there's no need to go over the top," Smith said.

"On that occasion, I was walking down the other end of the wicket so I certainly didn't change my line or anything."

This really irked the New Zealander, who used this as an example to claim that the Australian cricket team are the most disliked in the world for a reason. He also labeled them as “hypocrites”.

"How many of your players give send-offs?" Richardson said.

"That grab from Steve Smith just illustrates why the world cannot stand Australian cricketers at all.

"That made my blood boil, listening to that. He really did. He just doesn't
realise how much of a hypocrite him and his team are."
