Will Indian sledges involve sandpapergate this time?

[Cricket_Fan]

I think Indians are wasting a golden opportunity by not evoking the memories of sandpaper gate. Going by the reactions of Aussies after marsh getting booed, they are pretty soft bunch unlike their predecessors. We should quip sandpaper references  every now and then  to unsettle them.

I would say the following :

 

1) To Harris: "Yo Harris, I heard you suggesting some good places to party last time. Do you know any of them with indoor sandcourts around here ? :P"

2) To Khwaja : " Tell me one good reason why you ain't the captain but a mediocre player who cant even make his state team is."

3) To Marsh brothers  : " It is a great achievement to get booed by your own damn home crowd. I wonder what you did to them"

4) To Paine : "Mate, if you could bat or keep the way you talk,you would have at least made this team on merit. And don't have to rely on no sandpaper to be the captain. " " I wonder how your team mates can like you as a captain.Must be embarrassing  to captain your country when your last FC century was 12 years ago." "Mind telling me any good sandy beaches around here because i don't see you guys holding this till last day.

5) To Starc: "Watch out for what Warner says next, mate. May be he will spill the reason why you ain't getting any reverse swing after Sandpaper gate."

 

What do you guys think?

some influencing banters... I think yes... don't waste an inch to mentally disturb these Aussies. ... hope these reach our team members some how.

Aus has punished those responsible for this .... When many in the subcon would not even consider it a big deal or argue based on points such as "everyone does it" and when we have had history of match fixing (done to lose the game vs to win a game)

Do we have any active match-fixers still playing? Besides, purpose of this thread is how to rile them up and in turn lose their concentration.

that is not the point .... and there are others ways / topics to sledge 

[SecondSlip]

First let’s win this test. Sledging will look very stupid if we lose

We should hit where their weakest point is.No mercy when you are out on the field.

You mean something like this:

 

Ind: non sandpaper, no reverse swing, buddy

Aus: have you fixed the game, mate

 

a zero sum game with such sledging

Our fixers are out of the game and yours are still in the commentary box of this same damn match.

 

Moreover,one lapse of concentration is enough for the batsmen to get out.And for folks who are soft enough to get hurt by some boos, such comments would rile them up for sure.So its a win-win game .:D

This banter serves no purpose.

Pointless. The ones responsible are not on the field. But nice effort with the script:

Doesn't matter.This is not a Dharmayudh.. The collective blame is on the whole team, not the just the three.And I am pretty sure Starc and Co knew about what was going on because no way in hell a bowler wouldn't miss the changes happening to the same damn thing he was bowling with.

Okay, my fellow cricket fan.

[Nikola]

Lol i hope instead of this we focus on winning this test match. If we field well, stop runs and take catches then we should win this 8/10 times.

Really?  So you buy the cover-up that none of the bowlers were aware that Warner and co were scraping the ball up to help them?  

 

A silly thread this though.

This. It was probably team effort initiated by Warner and others just play along with it.

Come on now.  In what universe is it possible that the bowlers didn't know.

[kosingh]

Sledging and replies to sledges are overrated if the point is not to distract and intimidate, but rather to humor and entertain.

As per your other comment:

Unless we bring back Mark Waugh and Shane Warne episode we will be riled up on this issue badly.
