I will not speak for Delly or anyone else, but as a Aussie I have no problem with the article. Anyone who watches us play sport realises we punch well above our weight and much of that comes from our competitiveness. I thought Leighton Hewitt was a perfect example of performances exceeding their natural ability. Delly arguably also fits this bill.
I get annoyed at people calling Delly "untalented" because that is bullshit and calling him "scrappy" can be patronising.
I think never backing down is a quality Australians should be proud of. Charles Barkley was amazed that the Australian team honestly thought they could beat the Dream Team. He was almost in awe of this. Anyway, to each their own.
Hewitt sucked.
I'm a huge Delly fan, but sorry, there's no inherent "competitiveness" that comes from being born somewhere. That's hogwash.
