Doug Bollinger wants the cricket world to believe that infamous acts will not be repeated on the field. Geoff Lawson calls Shane Watson's behaviour akin to a four year old. And Anil Kumble thinks that the provocateurs, often the Australians, get away with the match referee and umpires turning a blind eye.

Doug Bollinger believes there will be no more kicking of the turf in disgust from him unlike the third Test against the West Indies in Perth and he also assures that the Australian cricket team does not want to bring a bad name to the team or the board and that it was a one off match where incidents came in abundance with Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson getting into a scuffle with Sulieman Benn and Shane Watson hopping mad after taking the wicket of the West Indies captain, Chris Gayle.
Former Pakistan coach, Geoff Lawson, believes that Watson will regret his actions in the days to come because it was like a four year old child throwing a tantrum and dubbed Watson hypocritical and childish because in his opinion, Watson is quick to ask for a referral if dismissed and failed to show respect to the cricketer.
But former Indian captain, Anil Kumble, wrote in his column that he believed that the same match referee, Chris Broad, had let off the Australians when they met the Indians during the Border Gavaskar Trophy punishing Gautam Gambhir but failing to rein in Watson and Simon Katich.
Kumble believes that in most on field confrontations, the provocateurs often have it easy and often the face of the provocateur is that of an Australian.
