  • I really like the Indian thinktank's aussie-like psychological trash-talking. There were 2 separate interviews - one involving Zaheer Khan on Aussie's seemingly "defensive" tactics. Laxman, after his 200 today, was also puzzed about aussies being "very defensive". The subtext is, they are inviting Aussies to be aggressive.. just that India has a lead of around 600 runs.. the pitch is going to crack more and if Aussies employ an aggressive approach just to counter the Indian statements, it might be fatal. I like how Indians are taking on Aussies using their own game.
  • There was someone who said Dhoni is like Miandad... cheeky, loves pressure and unfazed by match conditions. I agree and Dhoni is much better. 
  •  Again, I really like the current generation of Indian players. Gambhir is a prime example - someone who is talented and aggressive and apparently he begins to concentrate more when sledged. I hoped guys like Tendulkar would reverse sledge the minions who attempt to, but each person is different.  Gambhir is good at it.
