I have been reading news reports and interviews that Sreesanth is getting way out of line in visual and verbal display of aggression on the field.
Has anyone been watching the games on TV and can comment on it?
The Australians are suggesting that the 20/20 victory has gone to India's head.
What do you guys think?

Utter nonsense! Sreesanth is doing what the Aussies have been for years now. His displays are more "desi style", which the Aussies may not be accustomed to.
If you look at all the matches the Australians have played over the last 10 years and their sledgling and antics on the field, you'll find that what Sreesanth is doing is nothing new. Its a page borrowed from their book, he's doing it in his own style though.
Sreesanth needs a coach in this however and has to remember that the displays without solid bowling to back it up won't cut it.
With the cash-cow that is Indian cricket, I'm sure the board can hire one or more "specialists" to train the team on dishing it out ruthlessly and receiving it with tact without it affecting their game. You do this and right away, you put a team like Australia at a huge disadvantage. They lose the mental edge which is a huge part of their game. They still have a big game for opponents to work through, but its much more feasible without getting caught up in the mind-games.

Some of the funniest comments I've read recently is Andrew Symonds saying stuff like "I was affected by how the Indians celebrated, it triggered something in me. We're usually quite humble about how we do it!"
I'm amazed that the Indian players or board don't respond to stuff like this.
The Aussie team includes a lot more than their players. The players have solid support from their management, PR machine and the australian media. And they do it with a lot less money than the BCCI, I wonder why the most powerful cricket board in the world is so pathetic and lame at countering.

Do you think they were lame? Actions are more powerful than words.
Players & Board found the perfect way of answering him - "Keep up the Celebrations". They are still facilitated at every venue. Parties are still going around on a night before match... That's the perfect Slap to Symonds comments - isn't it?

Actions are more powerful than words for sure.
Great words followed by concrete action are the most powerful. That's the complete package.
