Sorry but who are you? Are your cricketer? Which team you have played for? Let me think hard...sorry mate I don't think I have heard your name any where. I am in Australia from 3 years and haven't read any of your articles on any "bloody" regional newspaper even. First time I have seen you and it is on this "INDIAN" website and I think you should be greatful that it allowed you to write such a big article. Its actually indians attitude and values that we give any idot an opportunity. Any way I haven't read your whole article because I am sure it is full of shit. And to add yes you are right it wont annoy aussies but i think pointing did reacted and i think you are the one who is most reactive (but i dont know u r aussie or not) GOOD DAY MATE

I am in Australia too, Tapan. Some of them are dumb but most of them have a head over their shoulders. But it's not right to generalise... and we are not qualified to. Cricket is a game and should be played that way. Aggression is ok... but the way Sreeshant behaves... is like the way when I was 12 years old playing cricket.

What he says is very correct. We over reacted in the first three games. Made a fool of ourself. If you want to be aggressive, show it in your action, not by cussing. Hit their bowlers all over the park. Get their top batsmen cheaply. Show it in your fielding. Not by shouting and acting like jokers

Well said Mehta, someone should give it back to australians so that they will have the taste of their own medicine. It is a fast bowler who is best suit the job. Now they are making a hue and cry because they are affected. but this alone will not do the tick. we will have to supplyment performance with a little dose of verbal to destroy their game.

probably you are right mansoor but i believe its good that we are standing and lets have our own style to shut this aussies..whole cricket feternity is annoyed with them being abusive but now when we started chit chatting they are trying to become "SITA MAYYA"
Gavin Robertson--hats off to you.you have expressed in the right way . I had the belief that the aussies are cowads who play the game without gentlemens spirit,but i was wrong, they have transformed the game in the new form.Great i think they are right, u have the right of freedom of speech n conduct, but sometimes i fear it dont bring out any negative effect or quarrels out their the game of cricket shud be always pleasure to watch..
Interesting article,i dont know about gavin Robertson much but it is stated int he above article that he is a former AUSTRALIAN Off-spinner.Gr8 to see despite been australian he is advicing Indians how to tackle his countrymen....Probably wanting to be India's Coach..Best of luck buddy

India need no more Ausi coach now. They will teach us to play but at the same time will take care that we go mentally down against Austrialia
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'...

Sorry to hear that. I can understand. I hope that the pregnancy went well.
Yeah, every country has that sort of thing. When I was back home and young, I used to think that Western countries are full of nude women. And I have friends back home who still think the same. Ignorance seldom has boundaries... but this has nothing to do with cricket though... and what we are talking about.
Sadly, although we are proud of our country no one remembers Chanakya though... that's what the article is about.

we should be thankfull to this guy for openly accepting that the aussie's never praticed the game so hard but they " have practiced the sleding, verbal intimation etc on all kinds of opponents for years" it is shame that even knowing that this game is gentelman's game they continue to do so... the controling body (ICC) is also never cares abt this b'cas it is actually group of jokers, who don't have any ethics to stop this. if u have the cricketing knowledge y should u talk abt the opponant player's "game, weaknesses what is going well for them as a team talk about how you failed at key moments in previous games, and how they intend to capitalize on your weaknesses" onething is sure Gavin, u guys can't do this in the future b'cas what u people are getting fm our players is only sample, very soon other teams are also going to do the same to u BAD GUYS, bad luck for that.
