Sledging

Looking at the Indian teams body language during the T20 world cup was great and they simply played fearless cricket, its was very evident that if you play fearless cricket you can win. Bangaldesh did it to South Africa and Australia, Indian batsmen being more talented than the Bangladeshies they may win more with these strong teams.

The problem with the Indians in this present series against Australia is that they are trying to beat the Aussies in their own game, which may work sometimes and may not work lot of times. You play with your stregth, get motivated with all the sledging and show what you are capable of aka Yuvraj Singh hitting Chris Broad for 6 sixers, that may not happen all the time but we need to show courage and stand up against them.'

Instead of that we are just taking the sledging a little further and we Indians show lot of emotion and let the aussies get on top of us. I hope better sense prevails and we get on top of the Aussies.

The big guns also need to fire, if they dont we should just drop them and go with the young folks, they have performed and they should be given a chance, its ok if they loose some games, they would gain confidence. Meanwhile the seniors should concentrate on the test matches - we have never won a series in Australia - infact i think we have won just 2 test matches in Australia, maybe we should work more on that :)
