The entire cricket fraternity, including the Australian cricket legend Ian Healy, lambasted the nation's cricket governing body for diluting the aura surrounding the event, which is directly linked with the cricket icon Allan Border.
"It (the night) had good reason and justification to get hammered socially. To me, it lacked tradition in all formats. It needed a really strong video presentation of all sorts of eras that have gone before. It needed a strong reverence to Allan Border," Ian Healy told the media house.

The event was widely covered in the last couple of days not because of its overall weight and importance, but because of Travis Head, who was honored with the medal. Head became the fifth player to win the medal back-to-back.
"I know for a fact that the current players just love the work of Allan Border and what he's done in the game. From becoming a legend player, to becoming an unwilling captain, to becoming a great captain, to being a selector, to being a board director. He's done a lot, and most of it as a volunteer. So, that reverence for AB was lacking," he added.

"At a time when the NRL are considering leasing aircraft and hosting global rounds. We're putting on a sausage sizzle on a Friday night. That's not good enough. I don't care how short the night was and was going to be; it needed to be polished and very, very schmick. Australian cricket, you've got to get your act together," Healy said in the interview.
