There is something different about this Indian cricket team. Over the years they have been known as a docile lot, with the tendency to give in to the sledging and the stare of the opposition. The bowlers used to put their head down and walk back to their bowling mark after being denied a decision by the umpire or after being hit for a boundary by a batsman. Our batsmen just looked the other way after being sledged by the opposition bowlers or fielders.
The eye-for-an-eye-attitude which was on display during the World Twenty20 Cup in the South Africa some three weeks ago, seemed have reached new levels during the second one day international between India and Australia at Kochi on Tuesday.
