James Anderson charge is a tatic by India, says Alastair Cook

The Mindians have learned how to play ruff and dirty.  The Poms don't like it being dished out back to them.

On the one hand Cook saying it is tactical and then he talking bout "competitive streak".

"competitive streak" is just a fancy term for that kinda behavior.

ICC will NOW rule in India favor :

I will campaign against this DIRTY tactic.

Kabaka days done sine he dead..

Iz wuh year Forbes Burnham croak ?  >

While I don't condone physical altercations in sports, I believe that the Indians are a bunch of wimps when it comes to playing tough cricket. India always complain when they are roughed up. I have noticed this trend since watching the video of their test in Kingston when the West Indies fast bowlers gave them a heavy pelting of raw pace.

As cook said,this looks like a mountain out of a molehill.These sour relations offences are often of the lower breach of conduct off the field.India badly want him gone,probably.
This actually escalated quie fast and the flare up was just petty issue.
"jadeja walked towards anderson in a hulking manner and in the mood to beat him up"

hahahaha....tooo funny ....Jimmy is a strong bloke to bowl in the 90 mph speed !

Ravi would be broken like a match stick ... :-[

Well Indians are certainly milking the oppurtunity anywho. Meh. Everyone including themselves have done stuff like this.
Although I guess we shouldn't excuse Jimmeh's behavior. He was "provoked" is no argument against altercation. He should've watched it.

No one seems to know who started it and I have read nothing to indicate that Jadeja started it.

As a matter of fact Cook's comments imply that Anderson started it.

Most sides seem to have different interpretations of what is acceptable. If Anderson touched Jadeja then Jadeja is well within his rights to lay his bat on Anderson. But then if he had done that is most likely Jadeja facing a ban.
