Some of Starc's behaviour in this match has been pathetic.
Such a good bowler, who acts like a spoilt brat at times.
If only we had someone to spank him around. Maybe Sharjeel can teach him a lesson in the next game. Poor Sami had been bullied by Starc and doesn't seem up for it.
People criticizing Starc's behavior would be praising Amir if he was doing it.
I think the majority of proper cricket lovers don't see anything good or anything to be proud of in Starc's behaviour.

What did Starc say that was so bad?.
Great fast bowlers are not nice towards the batsmen.Almost all of the great fast bowlers had this sort of attitude.

Not by everyone.Wahab clapping/sledging Watson in WC and getting praised for showing aggression.
Not by everyone.
I thought the clapping was unnecessary and overkill.
Not really. Starc was petty and childish at times. The best fast bowlers didn't have to resort to that.
Wahab clapping/sledging Watson in WC and getting praised for showing aggression. Having said this, I think this sledging business is non-sense. Cricket is not about who can out-sledge opposition, it's about who can outplay opposition.
Waugh's mental disintegration is biggest non-sense which doesn't get criticized that much. Doing it spontaneously is different, but making plan and doing it as a team is pathetic.
Even i dont like all the sledging that goes on. But these things what spice things up, im all for getting into a players brain because thats what sports is all aboutNot by everyone.

I don't like drawing the line with stuff like this and I find sledging perfectly acceptable, those who don't like it should grow a thick skin. Drama is what we'd like to see, cricket is not a PG show; I want to see fast bowlers really get in the face of batsman, I want to see batsman stand up like Miandad use to, I love aggression, I love entertainment and guys like Steyn, Starc etc are a credit to the stripped down version of cricket. I understand that we're in a sought of PC era so a little bit of this and a little bit of that and people will cry foul
I don't think sledging is the real issue here, this old chestnut always comes out when Australia have a win, had Australia lost we would be hearing about how good the sledging was against Australia.
You make it sound like Aussies havent done this sort of stuff in the past. Your lot is known for shouting off ( which i dont mind) in their own den. I would prefer it more if they try to do it in the UAE or India.
