Bailey says Oz won't depart from 'no-holds-barred sledging' approach in Adelaide

Australian Test player George Bailey has said that there is always communication out on the field in a cricket match and it is one of the real keys to try and find a way to make a batsman lose his concentration, adding that it would continue in the Ashes.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Bailey could be seen smiling under the lid of his helmet as James Anderson delivered his broadside, and said on Thursday he was anything but shaken from the fiery encounter in his Test debut.

He was the latest to predict that Australia would not depart from the no-holds-barred approach that proved so successful in Brisbane, the report said.

Bailey also said the ill feeling between Michael Clarke and Anderson was the result of two key players trying to get the better of each other, according to the report.

He added that both had a huge amount of respect for each other for the way they play the game, and that they are both very, very good players, probably two of the most important players for each of the teams.
