I am happy the the first two aggressive lads showed the door to the third who are always selfish in preparing blatantly/unashamedly favourable pitches when they face outsiders on their pitches - as faced by South Afrika & New-zealand. Only Pakistan could teach them a lesson. In IPL, they were utter failures and do not deserve any remunaration on par with SA or Australia, even Newzilanders show better commitment.
Some wise words from the coach for Ishant. He can celebrate the fall of a wicket but need not stare down a departing batsman or make gestures. In case of KOhli, we can say he's more like MIchael Clarke as a skipper or even Ponting, so he'll be more aggressive, but should step in at the right time and control things on the field. He may have to caution some of his players.
Ishant in the last two years has become a successful fast bowler. Credit deserved. But now is it his ego that has taken charge? He is, in my opinion, slightly over the wedge. I agree with his coach!
I do not think what they display can be termed as aggression. Aggression means performing well and setting highest standard in terms of quality, sportsman spirit, etc. and set example for others emulate. But what these (spoilt) players do hardly deserves any sort of recognition. Moreover, they rarely perform and their performance is also not consistent and deserves recognition (for being the best in the field)...

It is not aggression, but purely an act of brazenness. An act of unrestrained arrogance. Kohli sets an example with this behaviour, which is being followed by ishant now unfortunately.

Kohli is not fit to be the captain of the Indian team in any formats. The guy is aggressive all the time. I really dont know, what the younger generation will learn from him. He is too aggressive. Rather than his bat doing the talking, he is in news because of his agressiveness. Short -term captain, nothing more, results not likely to be in his favour because if his over aggressiveness

Dhoni allowed England and Australia to win series even in India with his own pitches just because he wanted to support Sirni master and useless CSK guys
I fully agree with Ishant's coach. What he did in Sri Lanka is totally unacceptable & the one match ban is too small a punishment. Ishant should remember that he is no where in the class or fast as a Andy Roberts or Jeol Garner or Malchom Marshall or Michel Holing. None of them ever behaved in the abusive manner as Ishant has done in Sri Lanka. In case any of the famous four fast bowlers slightly misbehaved, a glare from Clive Lloyd was enough to bring them to the earth. It was Ravi Shastri & Virat Kholi who has to answer for Ishant's behavior & they should be handed over the punishment. ICC should punish the captain as well for any misbehavior of a player. If Virat & Ravi want this type of behavior to continue, both of the should switch over to professional wrestling or boxing.

Have you ever seen Malchom Marshall or Holding bowl in West Indies. When Holding used to start his run UP crowd from Indies started shouting KILL.KILL KILL. Dont preach sportmanship of Michal Holding and CO. In one particular series after India which had players like Gavaskar and Bedi Holding and Andy Roberts had Injured six Indian players including B S Chandrashekhar by body line bowling, Those were the days when batsman did not wear helmets

Australian do it very professionally and they have been doing it fr ages. what Ishant showed lacked professionally as he got banned for a match. It was shear amateur behavior and spoke of his lack of intelligence. Typical bull headed
