The best thing to do is to ignore this. The Ausies are obviously a rattled bunch despite their first test victory. It was more of Inida losing the match than Australia winning it.
If it was some other team, i am sure sachin would have said the truth.
IF Bhajji lost his cool then sachin would not have saved him. But it was AUSTRALIA. The arrogant douches who think they can overpower the umpires. Ricky ponting claims grounded catches and pretends to be a saint.
At least Sachin is not like this. True, he made a controversial decision during the monkeygate episode, but who wouldn't stand on the side of his teammate against these bullies. One should only be nice to the team/players who are nice to you.
So what if AUS players do not like him. He got a BILLION supporters back home
Aus guys would come out and support any of their team members even if that guy killed the entire Indian team. They would come out and say that is part of the game and is fair in the spirit of the game. And for the guys who sledge for 90% of the time while they are on the field, why can they not take when someone sledges them. Why is that not part of the game at that time. Monkeygate is an example. Same thing happened when Zaheer called Ponting 'old' last time he got out. Ponting was all angry jumping around. I am sure they said much worse things...
