Media added the fuel to sydney match

A war has been started between india and australia.First, India must learn to ignore media baiting, which is a common practice as seen in headlines like shape up or ship out"and Indians knackered" that will often find their way into tabloids. Second, Team India will have to stand up to the big guns of the Australian batting lineup like Matthew Hayden who simply loves to bully the bowlers into submission. Third, the pace bowlers would have to give up any fancy notions of engaging in a war of words or sledging because such tactics only backfire as we saw in the case of Sreesanth in the ODI series in India recently.The advantage team India have, as acknowledged by former skipper Steve Waugh, is the itinerary featuring Tests at MCG, where the drop-in pitch has proved to be without great pace and at spin-friendly Sydney before hitting Perth where a fiery reception can be anticipated before the tour ends in that batsmen's paradise at the Adelaide Oval.
