Players raised in such a cricketing subculture consequently found it hard to accept, or handle sledging vhs in the Australasian fashion. Many controversies have arisen out of these vhs very different cultural prisms. In recent years however South Asian teams have become adept at sledging in their own fashion, notably Sri Lanka, which has vhs used Australian coaches and coaching methods since the mid 1990s (Note the examples of wicketkeeping sledges by Kumar Sangakarra above, who is renown as being able to get under the skin of opposing batsman.) Western commentators have often challenged South Asian teams on their supposed claims of sledging innocence, pointing at the common on field use of Hindi and Urdu phrases that neither other players or umpires can understand. Sourav Ganguly, captain of the Indian team in the early 2000s, decided to give the Australians a taste of their own tasteless sledging in the 2000-2001 series. His encounters with the then Australian captain, Steve Waugh, were particularly played up both in the Indian and the Australian media, so much so that he was referred to as the bad boy of international cricket in the Australian media.
