Marsh sings a different tune

And, a couple of days ago, the captain seemed furious after blocks of concrete that fell near all-rounder Tom Moody during the Kochi match. 8220;It8217;s the same as normal it8217;s going to take someone to get killed before something happens,8221; Waughhad told the Australian reporters. Manager Steve Bernard had also lodged a complaint with the Board of Control for Cricket in India BCCI after the incident.

Geoff Marsh played down the issue saying, 8220;Yes, we were a bit disappointed and had reported the matter to the Indian board.8221; Marsh, then, did an amazing turnaround on the pollution issue in Delhi, dismissing it as 8220;paper-talk8221;. 8220;We look forward to coming and playing here. We have no complaints. There is lot of greenery here and we have no problems,8221; he said.

Significantly, Marsh was the coach of the Aussie team that created a buzz of sorts after losing the one-off Test in the Capital two years ago. That team, later, stressed that they would prefer not to play in Delhi again because of the high levels of pollution here.

Today, there were some nice words from the Australian camp for the National Stadium practice facilities after the team went through a cheerful session of two hours.
