Australia paceman Brett Lee played down the confrontation some members of his team had with West Indies captain Brian Lara on the second day of the fourth and final Test in Antigua.
When Lara walked to the wicket to replace Devon Smith, Australian opener Matthew Hayden walked up and said something to him.
Shortly afterwards Lara spoke with Aussie captain Steve Waugh and umpire David Shepherd as he seemed visibly upset by some of the things being said on the field.
But Lee said: "This is not backyard cricket. This is tough Test cricket.
"You are playing for your country and we want to win the Test match. When we have a chance to bowl against Brian Lara the whole team is motivated because he is probably the best batsman in the world.
"A few words might have been said but I don't think it was anything personal."
Lee praised the efforts of his fellow bowlers in restricting the West Indies to 240 in their first innings.
After only making a meagre 240 all out in their first innings, the Australian attack dismissed the West Indies for the same total and then blazed away to reach 171 without loss in their quest for quick runs in order to force an outright result.
Lee said: "They all bowled well and I am really happy that we were able to get them out for our score.
"The bowlers really brought the team back into the game."
"We did not make a big total and we needed to restrict them and everyone chipped in. Glenn (McGrath) and Andy (Bichel), I thought really did well," added Lee, who claimed three for 71 to help dismiss the West Indies.
Lee believes the final Test is shaping up to be a close affair but admits his team badly want a victory to create history - Australia would be the first side ever to whitewash the West Indies on home soil.
"It is a very close Test match and after we got them out we needed to go out there and bat positively and try and have a bowl at them again," said Lee.
"Our openers did a great job and I am hoping that it will continue. We want to be a part of history so we really want to win this Test match to win the series 4-0."
Lee, who has picked up 16 wickets so far in the series, is still looking to end with a five-wicket haul.
"I am happy with the way I have bowled in the series to date," he said. "Sometimes a few runs have gotten away but I think I have picked up crucial wickets throughout the series.
"It would be nice to get a five-wicket haul to finish off the series but I will see how that goes.
"This is a far better pitch than the one we played on at the Kensington Oval. There is a lot more bounce for the bowlers.
"The one that I played on at Kensington Oval was probably the slowest wicket I have ever played on."
