Peter Roebuck writes in the Sydney Morning Herald the “moment of decision has come” for Australia and India.

These two cricketing nations must find a way to live together and play against each other without creating these foolish disturbances. A choice must be made. There are only two viable positions: either everything goes or nothing goes.

The Age reports on the reaction to Matthew Hayden’s “obnoxious weed” comments in India and Peter Hanlon looks at the end of an embittered summer.

However, Mark Taylor, speaking to the Daily Telegraph, says this season has been the best he has witnessed as a commentator.

"You'd have to go back to those West Indies days of the late '80s and early '90s where there was fierce competition and also a fair bit of animosity to match the same intense rivalry today."
