sandeep Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Lots of bonhomie and 'nice talk' about respecting VK, and claiming that sledging will backfire from the Australian camp - players, coaches, retired folks alike. I'm not buying it at all. For one thing, VK is susceptible to sledging, if the intent is to get him to change his approach and disrupt his focus. Time and again he has demonstrated that. And in the celebrated innings against Johnson, few recall or pay heed to the fact that VK got completely carried away and almost got himself out twice in 10 balls. Luck was with him that day, and he went on to hit a few more good looking boundaries which pad the highlights. So even though the outcome was not completely in favor of the Aussies, the sledging worked. I expect them to be right up in VK's face this series. Especially if they get to put up a score and a wicket or so falls. Like a pack of hyenas, are these Aussies. They will not let any opportunity to bark, slide. Nothing wrong with it. But just goes to show you how much fluff and utter nonsense fills out the media "coverage" of cricket. GoldenSun and Fool 2
Pollack Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Problem is if wickets are conducive they would be battered so much that they hardly would able to speak anything least not sledging.
WeStMiDz Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Virat will give it back with interest. Nothing to worry about here. Sidhoni 1
flat_wicket_bully Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I am sure we will give them back if Aussie try to sledge us. And well Virat has matured a lot since the last Aussie series. No need to worry here
Ankit_sharma03 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I want them to sledge kohli.....plzzz go ahead do it. U give a freak although more reason to be crazy Go ahead aussies sledge him .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEFY177sXIE Hussey warns aussies not sledge kohli express bowling and MCcricket 2
sandeep Posted February 20, 2017 Author Posted February 20, 2017 Not worried, VK's a big boy, he can handle it. Just pointing out an observation.
maniac Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Chaploos paranoid yet again...aussies know whom to sledge and whom to not...they are very smart in that regards....they have the art of sledging down to a tee sandeep and Masquerade 2
kirkutfan Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 VK is combative, but is not the hot head he was in that Australia tour. I think he handles the sledge just fine.
kosingh Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 It's not that bad like it used to be. Indians don't get intimidated anymore, and IPL has mase these cricketers quite friendly with one another. i am sure there will be an incident or two, but that mutual hatred that defined these two teams is gone.

Talking filth comes naturally to them and they have to justify it as some sort of strategy,mind games etc. Edited February 20, 2017 by Pollack sandeep 1
Vilander Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 F'n make their lives miserable punks. 25 million people and they think they can come here and compete..serve them curry every day on and off the field..arse burn for monthts to come.
Vilander Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 If they try to sledge, sledge them back on field and off they are in our country and they can learn to kiss some nice brown arse...muaa muaa muaa.

You don't need acumen to sledge anyone or unless you think differently, then please share your gyaan?
SRT100 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 A sledge against King Kohli is a a sledge against all Indians. India need to prepare square turners and break the spirit of Australia. Sure India can win even on flat batting tracks, but breaking Australia's spirit with rank turners is much fun to see and will have a rippling effect whenever they tour Asia again. If the curators prepare an even track or even one that favours pace and bounce, they have taken stupidity and ignorance to another level. India never gets any favours in Australia. Its why Ashwin has such a poor bowling record down under. narenpande1 and Cricketics 2

On 2011 tour the conditions in MCG and Perth were pretty good for bowlers. Zaheer and Umesh both bowled well and troubled Aussies. Similar in 2007. Barring Sydney and Adelaide, in other places we were provided bowling conditions and our bowlers also did bowl well too. So not every time we are provided flat conditions. SRT100 1

So not every time we are provided flat conditions. They are still flat pitches. I was comparing to the pitches we get in South Africa. You can apply yourself in Australia. In South Africa we bowled out South Africa for sub 100 scores in Durban and Joburg in 2006 and 2010. SRT100 1

Because they have flat track Bullies who can outbat us and bowlers capable enough to bowl better on their own flat tracks.
