The best tactitian to handle the Aussie battering was Ganguly. He would even walk in late for the toss having Steve Waugh perplexed. Our guys need to remember that we should do the unexpected to rattle them on the field. Ignore them when we are batting and guffaw when they bat playing a false stroke or hitting staraight to the fielder of a bad ball.Just break into peals of laughter and watch their faces. Never mind if they clout you for six next ball. Wait for the laughter opportunity. We should also deleberately miss our bowling mark in between and trudge back. They hate to lose so kill them softly - Sandy Menon

Wear a good quality "white noise headset" concealed under helmet. This should work.

I am not commenting on Dhoni. He has some time to learn all the tricks. But Ganguly was the first to take on the Aussies and bring about the grand Indian revival. Dravid unfortunately is too tame and well mannered and spoilt the great impression Ganguly made on the owrld. Then Greg Chappel came and worked like an undercover agent and played Ganguly against Darvid and destroyed our world cup ensuring the Aussies stay unconquered. We are a silly people tolerating that fellow to coach Rajastan. He should be garlanded with slippers and thrown in the desert. So continue being aggresive India and do not bother what a little known off spinner feels about it. These guys need our money when it comes to their income. Greg Chappel (chappal mar) is a living example of our 'Indian tolerance'!! - Sandy
