Isnt it really heartening to see the Aussies and the Indian players really getting togather so well in IPL?

Question

Ishant and Ponting..Symonds and Laxman , Hayden and Dhoni..its heart warming to see such a sight in cricket...

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Well it is good lets hope that it continues in international cricket as well. Have you noticed that these players have no personal problems they just want to win so they use bad tactics. Take the examplae of hayden he used abusive language towards dhoni in test series but now he is not doing anything he is so friendly towards dhoni as if both were of same country.

Answer 3

It's part of the game, when playing for your nation you will be charged up and International stage is the highest  level and hence the tensions there. The IPL doesn't have quite the same rifts as all the teams are playing for the Fair Play award as well. Plus, players will have to get along with each other if they are in the same team... or they can leave the IPL (and more over their huge money contracts). I think as the tournament move forward there will be more altercations, but I like those as long as they are within reason and just banter with respect to certain boundaries. Also, on that note... Bhaji said 'teri ma ki' - standard banter in Punjabi (like Aussie's called Indians 'bloody b*stards') - not 'monkey' so people should get off his back!!!

Answer 4

no, i like the competitiveness. The IPL isnt being played with a lot of passion

Answer 5

yes it is n i love it

Answer 6

if you ever watch premier league soccer you see the same thing

hugging and high fives with  there team mates ect

but as soon they play in there international teams,, there not friends any more ,as they have a job to do for their country and the usual sledging and passion will start

come new season 2009 IPL they will be all good friends again

but you will not beat the passion of test cricket

but the good thing is they get to see and play in a different culture ,and learn a bit more about India and regional differences ect ect
