I totally agree but my point was, why weren't they rolemodels

while they were losing? Cricketers can be just as bad as footballers though, especially on tour, I will agree however that recently the behaviour has attracted less media attention. Football will always attract more money than cricket, hence their ability to pay players more, I think there should be some kind of education in place to help players deal with this kind of status change.
