One thing for sure Aussies definitely mastered the art of mind game in and out of the field. Bullying, Pressuring the opponents with body language, arguing with the umpire on every controversial decision, making comments about the opponent and their best players right before the series (and even during the world cup matches) has been a critical part of Ponting era. Before the final Tom Moody was forced to make statements like "Mind your own business" against his fellow countrymen! I wonder after Ponting who will lead the team and will there be enough blood to take care of all of these non-sportive tasks.
