I hate whingers, whingeing about other people whingeing

Mike Gatting, the last England cricket team skipper to win an away Ashes series, says he is tired of Australians whingeing about losing their golden generation of Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist and Glenn McGrath. On the face of it, possibly fair, although the Aussies I think are more concerned about losing all three champions at the same time. All three Aussies were literally the best in their position, ever, and therefore hard to replace. But I guess the thing that gets my goat the most, is that England are the all-time, gold medal, MVPs of whingeing, and Mike Gatting was probably the worst of the bunch. So having him comment about others is more than a little rich, and frankly he should zip it. Ya know what I mean about the pot calling the kettle black? When Gatting was the captain of England all you heard coming out of his mouth was whining about something; the pitch was poor, the stars were not aligned, the bounce was too high, some rubbish. So please Mike, you should do what you did when Shane Warne bowled you around your legs with "the ball of the century", shut up and walk away. Nobody is interested in your own whingeing or thoughts on whingers. By the way mate, just for the record, that's a bloody ugly tie!
