Australianism

It has been said before but it's worth repeating here.

John Arlott had written about it in 1948 at the end of a successful tour of England
by Don Bradman's men. ""Australianism," wrote Arlott, "means single-minded
determination to win - to win within the laws but, if necessary, to the last
limit within them. It means where the 'impossible' is within the realm of what
the human body can do, there are Australians who believe that they can do it - and
who have succeeded often enough to make us wonder if anything is impossible to them.
It means they have never lost a match - particularly a Test match - until the last
run is scored or their last wicket down."
