London, Nov 18: England coach Andy Flower said his side's behaviour during the recent tour of India was not "up to scratch" as it overdid the aggression which was against team policy.
England's team lost all five matches of the ODI tour and came in for sharp criticism for its aggressive on-field behaviour.
"Yes we overdid it, definitely. We got that balance wrong and it will be addressed. They have driven each other on and driven their standards higher and that's part of the strength of the group. But in this series we got it wrong," Flower told 'The Daily Mail'.
"I heard some of our younger players say that the sledging was an attempt to jog Indian players out of their comfort zone or something equally strange. That is not the case. That was not a team policy at all. We should take our role as role models seriously and I don't think our behaviour was up to scratch," he added.
