its only commentary guys, Darren Lehmann was with him in the booth at that time and he also knew how much emotions was through his colleague's head. the term "Take That Australia" wasn't meant to sound offensive and in cricket this is the norm.
Even on-field sledging are known to attack each other personally but at the end of the day they all go and have a beer. Its all about maturity and how you can control yourself from losing your head.
Cricket is not just about talent, skill, technique etc etc. There is some level of psyche involved as well, how strong you are mentally. And since we are a society who cannot take any sort of criticism its hard for us!
Yes, compared to other "potential" commentators, Athar is the best among them.
But as a person i don't like him becoz he's extremely arrogant and show-off.
