Sydney: Australia batsman Matthew Hayden has launched a verbal attack on India's players, calling Harbhajan Singh an "obnoxious weed", and challenging Ishant Sharma to a fight.
Hayden said the Australian players were had had enough of the constant complaints from the Indians about their on-field behaviour during a spiteful tour Down Under.
Three Indian players, including Harbhajan and Sharma, have been found guilty of breaching the player's code of conduct but the tourists have accused the Australians of provoking them.
Hayden said his dispute with Harbhajan had been running for years but the reason the Indians were complaining so much on this tour was because "they are losing every game they are playing".
"It's been a bit of a long battle with Harbhajan. The first time I ever met him he was the same little obnoxious weed that he is now," Hayden told a Brisbane radio station.
