Whatever it be,howver it be...Indian team is not the best team in the world ...but they beaten Aussies twice recently... that shows that PHD holder is no more undefeatable..guys only innovations leads to new way for success...i mean Robertson is 60% correct...remaining % says if u get 100 beating atleast succeed in giving back ONE..atleast ONE.

couldnt agree with you more which grave did they (rediff) dig? ...in which planet...for fuxsake!!
This was a superb piece of article from your desk....I wish this article is read by every member of the Indian national team and explained to them in detail. This is called tactical mental warfare and the only person in the indian team who has got this right is our dear Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Hats off to him and i hope he will inculcate these learnings into the current bunch of younsters and I hope the so called 'seniors of the team' will quietly understand Dhoni's message and the message in the above article. One more surprise is nobody has yet commented on this piece of article....whereas I have seen some heated, at times disgusting arguments based on regional, cultural & religious bias. I am so proud to be an Indian today, as everything that i hoped for my country has started to take shape .....lets not lose the momentum and we the people of India take the path of committed and focused development inspite of the various hurdles like the political system, politicians, bureacrats and other small group of rats who feed only on exploitative opportunism !!!
I would also like to mention about sachin tendulkar who was very successfull in his early days...caz he used to never get frustrated with the Aussies....Like warne said in an article that whenever they used to banter sachin he used to score hundered each time thats why they stopped that against him and strated to praise him off the filed so much that sachin now hardly plays any good knock against them..........Sachin learn from your past what you used to do...dont get carried way with the bantering....
Bantering and talking of the opponent's weakness between themselves to get into the skin of the batsman might be the Aussie way and it might have been working for them very well over the years. And also, it may be true (who can deny with Sachin's example over the years?) that the way to get the Aussies uncomfortable might be to ignore their bantering and focus on the job on hand. And in the eyes of the Aussies, the Indian players are not really "standing up" to them by their current approach. But mate, there are cries all over the cricketing fraternity, articles written all over (including by you), so much of talks at the pre/post match press conferences, plenty of media attention etc. etc. about this Indian team's fiery behaviour on the field. Doesn't it mean that this is getting under the Aussie's skin? Not just the players'...
I'm not too impressed by yer comments, Mr. Robertson. Do you not think its sad & a little surprising to see Ponting resorting to cheap tactics like these? (fake aggression allegations).
The point is, India has been injected with fresh blood, youth and fiery nature with the sudden inclusion of so many newcomers. The Twenty20 mode is still paying off in the ODIs in terms of Robin Uthappa, RP SIngh and Pathan's game. Ponting just can't digest his T20 defeat just yet.
He says India need to learn ODI and forget about T20 for now. It is he who needs to get the T20 (defeat) out of his mind.
This guy speaks sense. Our Own Gandhiji has taught us that. Make insults and anger increase your will to win rather than retaliating and doing follies of falling in trap.
Gilli and Ponting speak about India's new found aggression, and now this fellow too. This clearly indicates that the Aussies are disturbed on the field. Keep it up Team India!!

Yeah you are right. Many comments from Aussies about our Team India's new behaviour of attacking shows indirectlyabout Aussies weakness.
