Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard's announcement of an honorary membership of the Order of Australia (known as AM) to Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar hasn't added a feather to his cap. Conferring one of the country's highest honours on an Indian batsman is in question in Australia, social networks and blogs. Along with Australian lawmaker Rob Oakeshott, former Australian batsman and recipient of the title Matthew Hayden had batted against Julia's move. The honour should be "exclusive" to this countryman, Hayden advocates. Gillard had made the announcement during her recently concluded India visit.
