Cash is as dumb as a stick and never saw a bandwagon he didn't want to jump on. He's wrong on every count.
Firstly, who has criticized Kyrgios because he's "inexperienced and different"? This is a weasel word way of excusing very poor behaviour. Toddlers are inexperience and different but when they take a dump on someone's rug we are correct in telling them off. That's how you discourage them from committing the same crime in the future. To just go, "Shucks, don't kids do the darnedest cute things," and leave it at that would be pretty poor guidance from those with experience.
Who has criticised the kid for his haircut or fashion sense? Australia is so desperate for success in tennis that they'd embrace him if he had a giant pink mohawk and a nose ring attached to his belly button. Again this is mealy mouthed rubbish from Cash trying to link himself to Kyrgios in some way and remind us of what a bad boy he was. Give it a rest mate, you've had your day. If you're still crying in your beer because Newk gave you a clip round the ear you really never did grow up.
He then goes on to misquote Pat Rafter and take his point out of context to make it seem that Rafter has given up on the kid already. All he said was that he would keep his behavioral advice to himself until it's asked for having been ignored so far. He's very upbeat generally and if seniors are supposed to shut up and learn from the kids who are 'expressing themselves' then the very idea of mentoring is done with. Here's the original article.

Finally, this piece of brilliance,
“I was equally confused when I saw Davis Cup coach Josh Eagle go on national television and say Kyrgios has got to pull his head in. Surely these peoples’ job is to nurture Kyrgios’ talent rather than try to damage his chances just because he is being himself."
Wrong again Pat. Like any spoiled brat you think that nurturing is a synonym for indulging. Critical feedback
is nurturing you egomaniac.
All in all this article and almost every utterance from Cash is a way to pull his own forgotten figure back towards the limelight and remind us that he too was an "alpha male". Most guys who identify themselves as alpha males are simply trying to put a positive spin on their narcissistic self indulgence and boorishness.
There's my two cents worth.
