    Sigh... Yep... I'd rather Greg Ritchie, Greg Chappell and Max Walker come back to commentary team. It's turning into the BS that MMM serves up in the footy season. There used to be a quiet dignity about the commentary, not telling a restraunt owner on air to give himself (Warne) a free meal for mentioning his establishment...

        You need to see Johnsons bowled of Pujara. Amazing.

            4 wickets to get to win the match. C'mon Australia!

                Another quick wicket would really test their confidence.

                    Agree. Would certainly get the Indians nervous.

                        Smith was weak as piss this morning, didn't deserve to win the way they went about it!

                            It's the problem you have with trying to get a player to a century. Probably declared 30 minutes late as 360 run lead would have been enough.

                                That's what's ordinary about some of the sledging at present, it seems unproven and average players carry themselves above their position too often.
                                Kholi gives a lot more than he gets. It doesn't fit the story many like to spout that it's only Australian players that carry on like that, but the modern Indian players are as bad as any. The difference is their media defend them, the Australian media persecute their players regardless of circumstances.

                                Kholi is the most toxic player I can recall during my time watching cricket. The way he abuses his team mates with the same ferocity as he does opposition players is disgusting. He makes Kevin Pieterson look like a great team man. Let's not lose sight that before this series Kholi was averaging 9 in his previous 5 Tests, and has only just got his average over 40.

                                        They behave towards opposition players in the same manner, Kholi treats his team mates worse.

                                            Sorry, but I was in this instance isolating Haddin who sledges just as much as any player in the game and comparing him to a player who also sledges just as much as anyone in the game but has absolutely smacked the opposition presented to him in this series. I probably didn't spell that out very well.

                                            The second part of my post refers to Australian players and Indian players alike, I guess what I'm getting at is that you should be going very well if you're going to be dishing it out.

                                                Miss a win by 4 wickets from tailenders. Dropped 8 catches and missed easy runouts. Forget Smith and 20-30 minutes, it's the old adage about catching.

                                                But it's a series win, so yeah for us.

                                                            I thought so.

                                                            By my recollection there was an incident with Singh and another Indian bowler in Australia a while ago which was similar, but I might be wrong.

                                                            As it was with the rivalry between Australia and India 7-10 years ago there were a lot of incidents that you could cringe at.
