Indians are good, no fears for Oz: Warne

Melbourne, March 6: India and Australia may have gone at each other in one of the most acrimonious and volatile series in recent times, but spin legend Shane Warne does not expect any negative fallout when the Aussies go to play in the Indian Premier League and the bilateral tour later in 2008.

"Every single time I've been to India, the Indian fans have been very good, they love their cricket," Warne, who will captain and coach the Jaipur franchise in the IPL, said.

"There's obviously a bit more of an aggressive approach from the Indians at the moment. It's good to have a couple of rivals, some competition from other international sides," the tweaker was quoted as saying in The Australian.

Warne felt both teams could have conducted themselves in a better manner throughout the Test and the triangular ODI series.

"I'm sure both sides will have a look back at a couple of incidents and say 'we may be could have handled that differently'."

Warne lamented that the controversies garnered too much attention during the summer.

"But let's just move on from all that rubbish - gee, enough is enough with a lot of that stuff," he said.

"Let's just get out and play some cricket, even with you guys (media), let's just worry about some other stuff for a while," the legend added.

Bad Aussies only need to worry! by Joy on 07 Mar 2008

I am sure the Indian crowd will have a field day against some racist Aussies. They will spare the good ones like Warnie and Gilly. Others may have to watch out after what the Aussie media and the crowd did to Bhajji in the last week!

Indians are good? or Stupid? by Raja on 07 Mar 2008

Indians are good--but are we also stupid. I have nothing against Shane Warne or Aussie tourists. However, some Aussies are obnoxious, racist guilty as sin: if Symonds and Ponting don't get a taste of their own medicine, it will not show that Indians are good. It will show that they are STUPID!

Agreed by ravi on 06 Mar 2008
