sunny ! i do agree to you Virat played well but ho sh'd behave like a mature player. he shd be adviced accordingly as he is new to international game as sachin laxman dravid
Just to remind Mr.Sunny Gavaskar that his school kid temperament in Australia would have been the first historical WALK-OUT lest the cool manager intervened.Please remember that while pointing a finger at someone the other three are pointing to yourself

Two wrongs don't make one right.Let Virat first hit 10 test centuries to stgae ashow off on field.he has delivered very little as yet to carry such arrogance which is bad for his career.he will be hounded by more experienced players if this kind of attitude persists.Have you seen any Australian player doing this to sachin,Dravid,Sehwag or Laxman even with nothing to show on this tour & rather being bunnies to every bowler?They go after only Virat, Gambhir & Sharma who happens to have one thing common,Delhi upbringing.
virat's celebration is just like some low profile tribal's celebration in andaman and nicobar islands. it was goos for his cause but it was equivalent to nothing in a whole series scenario.
Regardless of people being nice, aussies did not back down. The only time they backed down is when we gave back in kind. It also left a player like symonds traumatized. You are wrong Mr gavaskar. Bullies only understand language of might. Kohli did right. But he and indian team needs to learn to do it as an art rather than knee jerk.

When Aussies do sledging, nobody has any problem..Instead of supporting Indian spirit, why Mr. Gavaskar is talking like this? We are with Virat...Retired men sit in pavilion and watch the show..No need of blah blah blah..

@Varun: Hi buddy...do you really think that the Aussies would back down when 'we' give back in kind??!! The Aussies would try to provoke you using any means and more than often, they get the desired result. On the other hand when the Indians have tried to imitate the Aussies and as you said - "gave back in kind" - catastrophe has struck. Although I completely agree with your last sentence. Yes, its an art.

yeah we saw the desired result with symonds. Dude that happens bcz we dont do it in a planned fashion. We have knee jerk reactions. It is not rocket science but needs planning and execution.

agree completely varun. aussies understand only one language...what kohli and bhajji do is the right way...
he almost surrendereed the match coz liily told him to f---0 after he was given out. what a thorough g / man. he can not digest the fact that a youngster with only 1 yrs in test cricket is successful while his portege the greatest ever , the master plaster choker has been an abject failure.

i do acknowledge his cricket skills. for me he is the greatest opner world has seen. i am reacting to his unwarranted public slamming of a youngster.
Virat needs to change his naive mind set. He must know that he is a professional and playing for the country and this is a childish way to behave. If you want to abuse then abuse your colleagues for letting the whole nation down.
