Aggression. A word that has been really synonymous with the Aussies, the Poms and the South Africans. They play mind games with the opposition so as to get someone out and win the game. Nothing is wrong with that.
But as soon as the Indian team does that, it becomes a big fuss. Everyone condemns the behaviour of the Indian players only coz they sledged the bullies successfully, got them out and won the game. There will be media all over Aus, SA, Eng complaining about Indians' sledging and they opine that Indians must behave.
Ok, we must. But why not YOU? Stuart Broad sledges Ganguly and no one even talks about it. Poms throw jelly-beans and no one is even fined !!! Nel hurls abuses at every 2nd batsman and gets away 9/10 times. Brett Lee mumbles and swears and gets away. McGrath asks Sarwan about how Lara's d*ck tastes and gets away. Ponting, Gilly argue with the umpire and don't even get reported. Freddie removes his shirt at Mumbai in 99 and no one even discusses about it.
