Is Australia dominating with mind games?

I think Australia are wining some games or wickets with mind games than the performance. I have read the articles about Vincent stating that Australia attack like a dogs. Do you think that abusing or sleding should be banned from cricket? What should be in performance of a player or taking wicket by sledging and hurting and making a person upset? Is Australians carrying sledging too far?

That is why a person needs to be focused on the game and not what the other players and people are saying. It's the same in any sport gotta have some trash talk to try and freak out the other team. Do I think it is abusing ....nope

I think sports like cricket should be win by talent and hardworking more than playing mind games and sledging or abusing. One example of sledging and wining the wicket is of Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin was in good form. McGrath said something to Sachin and Sachin lost the concentration and the next ball McGrath got wicket of Sachin Tendulkar. I think more than the talent or the hardworking it is playing in the mind that got the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar. I think these kinds of things should be avoided. Small talks are ok, but sledging I dont support it too much.

I mean the sledging and sometimes talking in between the cricket. Sometimes putting pressure on batsman by the fielders might lead to losing wicket of the batsman.
