thanks Gavin for the useful tips. most of what you are saying is true and indian cricketers can learn a lot from it. traditionally for all these years the indian cricketers have been known for their gentlemanly & sporting behaviours on the field of which the Aussies have taken maximum advantage through their SLEDGINGS, some times even unsporting to browbeat our greats like Gavaskar, Sachin, Dravid etc. first , it was Ganguly who made the aussies have taste of their own medicine through Steve Waugh and now the Aussies are feeling somewhat rattled by the aggression of the indian youngsters. while we do not approve boorish behaviours by the new T20 Champions like the one we saw of the World Champions in mumbai sometimes back we do want our players to meet FIRE with FIRE including SLEDGING on the field . any way, better the Aussies prepare themselves for this younger generation to take on the Aussies man to man.
