Arguments between players of two different teams on a cricket field is certainly not new but how often have we seen heated arguments between teammates on the field. That was exactly what happened between Ishant Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja during India’s second Test against Australia in Perth.

BCCI has released a statement rubbishing the report which claimed that Virat Kohli and Tim Paine were involved in banter where Kohli said that he is the "best batsman in the world" and Paine as "just a stand-in captain". The Test series is currently levelled 1-1 after the Aussies won the Perth Test.

Justin Langer, along with Tim Paine, has opted to go ahead with an unchanged 13-man squad for the remaining two Test matches against India after the win in Perth took the series score to 1-1. Australia play India on Boxing Day in the third Test and will play the final match January 3 onwards.

After being adjudged Man of the Match in the second Test against India, Nathan Lyon has expressed that it feels really great to play a role in a team victory. He also mentioned that the wickets of Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane were special ones for him in the Perth Test which concluded today.
