The admonition to Hayden should have been combined with a warning to others to refrain from such incursions. Read The Article

munesh india could not beat australia in a real series.
say for 10 million. ( Posted: Thursday , March 20, 2008 at 13:19 )       
Baddam Yeah, Australians got the taste of their own medicine. The credit should be given to them. Without their sledging Indians would have never become so hard and tough on the field than they were before. The change is visible to the whole world and now everyone, whoever would play against the Aussies would surely employ this ploy. But, Cricket itself is a gentleman''s game. If every team is into sledging then it would be a rugby game rather than a gentleman''s game. It would be better for all of us to stop hailing Indian team for their counter-sledging acts. Lets praise this young side''s performance which brought in the agility to field, steal singles and hunger to succeed. ( Posted: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 at 11:10 )       
more Tirthankar Chakraborty Excuse me! Just on the basis of one series, we should not say that there is no idols in the Aussies team. Please don''t forget this Sachin Tendulkar''s idol is none other than Sir Donald Bradman and no one is even near to him in test cricket. Good to see Indian young team won this series but still Saurav Ganguly should be in the team. ( Posted: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 at 05:57 )       
RAMAMOORTHY A Some of the Australian Players are desparate and worried as they are totally outplayed in every Department by the Indians. That is the reason they make unwarranted comments and allegations against some of the Indian top players to divert them and loose concentration. ( Posted: Monday , March 03, 2008 at 18:27 )       
Roham Australia got a taste of their medicine this summer. For the first time, a touring team stood up to sledging and gave it back in kind. They were also put under sword by some excellent cricket played by youngsters half their age.

Ponting, Hayden and Symonds tried their best to unsettle the Indians by using every trick in the book. To India''s advantage, the trio were hopelessly out of form and saw their team beaten on a regular basis. Australian team has lost its aura of invincibility and is suddenly looking very vulnerable.

C.P.Rajagopalan Some time after Ricky Ponting took over as Captain of the Australian team, a panel of cricket commentators were discussing how good a Captain he was. The panel''s final say was that any Captain who had players of the vcalibre of Warne, McGrath and Langer would look good and we would have to wait for them to retire before pronouncing judgment on Ponting''s captaincy. After, the first Final of the CB series, the answer is evident. Ponting looked totally out of sorts. The Indian batsmen went in with a very clear game plan - see off Lee and get runs from the others. Once they successfully did this, Ponting ran out of ideas. In contrast, consider how Dhoni handled the situation. Ishant Sharma injured himself and could not complete his quota of overs. But, Dhoni appeared to have a contingency plan in mind. Bringing on Rohit Sharma was a brilliant move. Australia had not seen him bowl before and had no idea what to expect. One could sense that the Australian batsmen were wary of him and were not going for their shots. On the strength of the latest evidence, Dhoni looks a far superior Captain to Ponting.

Sam We should withdraw offers made to the Australian players to play in the IPL immediately. The Indian crowd will definitely boo these players and they will complain of racial abuse.

Moreover, do these bunch of bad losers deserve the kind of price tags they got? Arent we wasting our money on them when we can encourage our youngsters with the same? ( Posted: Monday , March 03, 2008 at 16:44 )       
Gautam Kumar I thing these abusive lanugage should be avoided in cricket pitch, but use some friendly language in cricekt. Rather it is worldclass game millions of people watch and listen it to get enjoy you dont kill anyone''s enjoyment. ( Posted: Monday , March 03, 2008 at 16:09 )       
AJIT ANJARIA Let Bat and ball speak for any player as tounge was nevera part of cricketing kit at the most saliva can be permitted only once in a while. It is a great game and let us play that way.Aji ( Posted: Saturday , March 01, 2008 at 15:32 )       
ajit.anjaria Whenever i am reading about abusive language andimmature comments, having follower of game of cricket for last almost 50 years it is about the time that in game so much hype should be avoided once matter is put to light.Both Bhaji and Hayden are great cricketers with die hard attitude and therefore please do not highlight them for anything other than their batting or bowling skills.If this is followed then we will be able to focus more on cricket. But the question how many percentage of cricket lovers would agree to this? ( Posted: Saturday , March 01, 2008 at 15:19 )
