The only thing I like about Ponting is his game. The rest of his attributes only display the typical Aussie arrogance!
I hate to agree with anything that he says. Unfortunately, his statement that India's aggression during the first two matches was fake is very true!
On field aggressive displays have never been in the Indian nature, even when our most aggressive captain Saurav Ganguly was at the helm. What we tried during the first 2 games was to copy (unsuccessfully) what the Aussies do. For the Aussies, it is in their blood and they are good at it. For Indians, it is obviously all too artificial.
It would be best if we try to stay as we are and concentrate on the game. Australia are the world champions in cricket and in sledging. We have a better chance of beating Australia in cricket than in sledging.

I dont agree with you, The simple thing that is cricket is what is made complacated by us, by over analysing everything, if indians were giving it back in the first two games, whats wrong in that. What we expect is that we see the aussies straight into their eyes and instill a bit of fear which is so obvious, when it comes down to them facing sreesanth. The fear of the aussies has long gone, new zealand beat them 3 to nothing, england defeated them at their own backyard and now we have a chance too, Just support this new team india and we will go places
