Most of what you said is making perfect sense. I disagree only on one point. If we go some time back the way aussies were showing their eyes and the way they were treating indians gave an impression that they did not like to show any respect for people from this nation. I think that was not too bad for someone who really are indeed disgraceful. I hate the attitude of Indian team though I am an Indian. I guess you could not have been too open. I only wish one thing. We Indains need to chnage our attitude a lot more. We always have been proving disgraceful. I really wish there would be a revolutionary change in this aspect and whatever they do it begins to make more sense. Winning or losing doesn't matter. What matters is how one carries ones personality.
Mr.Galvin, sledging alone doesnt do the work. Australians are good at batting and bowling and that is what matters to win the game. Thats the reason whatever they are doing is working.
Infact England are better sledgers but that cannot win the game for them because they are not as good in playing their game as australians.
What a joke! 1 Billion cricket fans cant beat a nation of twenty million, many of whom have no interest in cricket at all. Why are the Indians so pathetic?

# of wins are supposed to be proportional to population?
World-XI lost against Aus. So a population of 6 billion lost against 20 million? Didnt Aus lose a game against Zimbabwe recently? Havent they lost against Bangladesh as well? So what??
Next maybe you will say A country with more GDP/GNP is expected to win against a country with less GDP/GNP.
Only 11 players play on a given day idiot. Or are you completely retarded?
He is correct in saying as the australians use to talk with their yeam members or talking themselves to ditract the attention of the opposition members. i feel the indians must concentrate in the game than heeding to their remarks when they are playing.

indians do that to show them back that they will also hit back...this was necessitated bcause of our own media and authorities not showing solidarity and support with the team fully whn an instance like that happen tothem...
hi gavin, u r right.the indian team will never be able to complete with the aussies.i am an indian but i always felt that the aussies r the best than every one.i hope indian must have read this and would try their best in the next match.
Hi gavin, You are perfect correct on your words and your comments on foolish indian players are very true. Thats y, indian team always way behing Australian team and will not ever able to compete with Autralians. I , although being an indian individual, myself feel ashamed by the USELESS aggression shown by USELESS players like sreesanth.I hope my message will reach upto the selection team of indian player and hope the players like sreesanth would be kicked out of indian team ASAP.

Hi Aditya, This is not good for us to say about ourown player that he is useless. This is showing how much we have jeolous about our own people. I think Shree is a good player but if he is showing the aggression then what other 10 players were doing in the field. We all know that we are lacking with a quality spinner like Kumble who can stop the runs in middle of the game and take 2-3 wickets also. And one more thing Austrailian Team has adjusted out contion. This is one more reason why they are winning and whenever India win ODI matches you can see mostly one of our Openen have made centuries that is also not happening right now. At the same time I think so many things are not going in our own ways in this series.
Be patient I am confident the sme team will perform better than this after some time.
You explain Aussie sledging as a strategy and almost for a noble cause but how would you explain Aussies sledging a NZ batsman about the recent death of his sister's in a train accident?
Wouldnt this be equivalent to someone sledging McGrath about his wife's cancer, correct? Nobody has sledged McGrath about his wife's cancer, right? No wait, thats right, an Aussie commentator did! Who else but an Aussie pig would do such a thing?
