Of course playing together in the IPL will help in healing the hurt between Indian and Australian cricketers.
However, it is doubtful whether it will create a positive image about them in the eyes of the Indian fans. To convince them that they are not wolves in sheep clothing, the Australians have to carry over the same behaviour during the upcoming
Can the Australians convince the Indians fans with how they play in the IPL?

not going to happen
ipl makes strange bedfellows. in everyone best interests to use protection. ask dada, that was some knock.
Homer,
You mean they will go back to their bad ways? :)
NC,
Care to elaborate?
imagine hydo, roy, bhajji sitting together in pub in high spirits...and improving each other 'vocabulary'
Ottayan,
I don't think Indian fans would care about what happened during the test series between India and Australia.. Personally, we dont have that much long memory..
I think it will fizzle out.. similiar to the notion that media created that Man United fans would treat Ronaldo badly because of his role in getting red card for Rooney in the world cup match..

Pan,
Will it go beyond 'obnoxious weed'?
Robin,
The Aussies are more concerned about their personal image.:)
i bet, if sardar gets in 'right spirit'...
;-))
I would prefer they don't become sheep. At least if they have to dress as sheep they are wolves when the play for Australia. Wolves win more than sheep.
Kumble is a nice guy, but he cops it when he loses. Harbhajan is as bad as any Australian, but gets lauded when he wins.
I agree with Robin.Indians, like Australians, love an ugly winner better than a beautiful loser.
Park,
More than the public it is the media who loves a ugly winner.
IT IS ALREADY BENT BEYOND REDEMPTION. AT BEST THEY SHD AVOID KICKING THAT PORTION.
Ott,
What are the odds that a news channel will not replay the incidents at Sydney prior to the October series?
What are the odds that Roy wont pen another brain dead article ( with the blessings of CA) about how much he despises India/Indians?
What are the odds that Peter Lalor and Malcolm Conn wont pen another one eyed article disparaging the opposition and talking up the Aussies?
Irreconcilable differences is how I would describe the Indo-Oz relationship.
Cheers
Homer,
The media will not let it die down.
But do you beleive things will be as ugly in the field?
Yes.
Otts, a classical eye wash... there is no rift as such... everyone except the Aussies have moved on. This is all for getting their image right for more sponsorship.
