Sledging
by Ranjan on Oct 10, 2007 11:39 PM   Permalink

Dear Gavin Robertson,
Your analysis of psychology is remarkable. But please know that after Gavaskar walked off field with Chetan Chauhan years ago, this is the first time team India's youth have decided to lock horns. Your advice, well-meant, will make Indians seem unduly timid.If Cuban boxers throw punches, you must land a few ,too. You'll lose, but know that you hit hard,and made them wince. The time for niceties in sports is gone. Competition and victory at all cost mean the range from drugs (Marion Jones) to sledging. Remonstrance is the order of the day. Hand of God and Head-Butting are there for all to see. Some get punished, most, like the Aussies, get away with It. , Indians are no exception to these trends.
