*Pace legend Courtney Walsh said the ugly on-field spat between West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard and Australian seamer Mitchell Starc during an IPL match was not a pretty sight and called for "controlled aggression" from cricketers.*
"I was travelling and saw it on YouTube, so I can't say exactly the whole build up of it. It didn't look a pretty sight when you saw it but in the heat of the moment, these things sometimes do happen. For me it is how it ends. If both players will accept theirresponsibility in terms of what happened," Walsh told reporters here on Thursday.
"That is not what you want to see on field of play and that is what you want youngsters to watch and think that is the norm. Hopefully things have been sorted out and whatever action needs to be taken has been taken and we can return to normalcy," he added.
The former West Indies skipper said things would be said on field but people want to see controlled aggression.
"You are going to have words said from time to time, I have nothing against it. I think controlled aggression is what everybody wants to see," said Walsh, who took 519 wickets in his 132-Test international career. Reported by Deccan Herald 18 hours ago.
