Michael, you are right that the two are not comparable. And, it is also true that Australians such as you and many others who are commiserating with India are doing a great job of keeping things civil and rational. Not to mention, serving as wonderful diplomats for your country. As a result this whole affair is becoming less and less an India Vs Australia affair and more and more a player-specific-ethics and umpiring issue. Of course that doesn excuse the whole sledging process that the Aussies are masters of. But this incident should go a long way towards making sledging unacceptable as "part and parcel of cricket".
