Cutting their losses and saving the game, one feels.

Uncalled for.
On the subject of JustTool, he has been banned until the end of the India/Australia series.
Now, let's get back to the cricket people.

Because they dont need to win this game as much as India
The only thing meaningful that might have happened in the remaining overs is the loss of wickets and they still dont have enough runs

That's what i am saying Sarwan could have said anything nasty about McGrath but dragging his wife into it was totally uncalled for.Right, and talking about Sarwan ****ing Lara's **** is just oozing class.

You underestimate just how nasty McGrath's initial comment was. Sarwan's comment was no worse than what he said, yet his reaction was ridiculous.
I absolutely disagree. Sarwan's retort was no more or no less "classy" than McGrath's initial sledge.
The only mitigating factor in this episode was the timing- that being that McGrath had just left his wife to tour while she was undergoing treatment for one of her bouts of cancer. Frankly, I would suggest that had this not been the case, McGrath's reaction wouldn't have been anywhere near as intense.
Sarwan just unwittingly stumbled upon a chink in McGrath's emotional armour at the time. None of this, though, changes the fact that McGrath's reaction decidely over the top, considering how the exchange started.
Didn't someone get banned pretty recently for being overly parochial towards his own nation, and overly critical of other countries?
If I was that guy, I would have a few pointed questions to ask of the staff right about now...
Edit: Heh. I guess some of those questions have been answered.

FFS, what has good bowling got to do with him standing his ground after clearly getting out or him shouldering arms to a straight incoming delivery.

Frankly, I struggle to see the dividing line.
Sarwan made a (not very) witty and sarcastic come back to a bowler who was abusive, and who was then unable to take it. I doubt if Sarwan consciously thought about it, and said it (because if he had he would either not have had a come back, or chosen not to employ that specific come back for the reasons you outlined) but rather, as with all good come backs, it came out like a good and sharp reply which actually worked in the context of sledging. In this case, if thats the nature of the game being played then its best it does stay out on the field. But in this case, Pidge having started it was unable to take it and had a tanty like a crybaby. I dont see any two ways about it.
