Jonathan Agnew says Australian players failed to live up to Phillip Hughes'

Cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew has criticised the Australian cricket team for not dumping the use of sledging in the aftermath of Phillip Hughes's death.

The former English Test bowler, who now commentates for the BBC, told the Radio Times magazine that he was disappointed in both sides' response in the Australia v India Test series following the death of Hughes.

It's an interesting (and valid) point made by Jonathan Agnew.  Seems like as soon as the players returned to the field following the funeral for Phillip Hughes, everyone just went back to their bad old ways.  It doesn't help when the Prime Minister of the day hosts both teams to dinner and regales everyone with stories of his sledging abilities.  It seems that we are producing more & more gifted athletes, but less and less gracious sportsmen when it comes to cricket these days.
