Ponting is now questioning the integrity of Neil Harvey who was possibly the second best of all Australian cricketers. He also criticized his own Prime Minister and Governor General. This should put all things into perspective. As an India I never did feel all Australians were racist and arrogant. But I definitely feel Ponting, Clarke and Symonds are liears and conspired to get Harbhajan banned and as a racist.

Australia got good lesson both on the field and outside the fields. Aussie trolls on rediff will be so disappointed now.

lol in what way disappointed? That I'll have to watch Australia flog India yet again instead of you blokes flying home and we playing a decent side like Australia A? Yeah a little disappointed there.
As to the Harbijahn issue, meh, same thing as Tendulkar in SA, only this time your board has threatened to go home and got a man who called a black man a monkey off of racism charges instead of a cheat who picked at the seam off of ball tampering charges. Nothing new dude, India cheats, effigies burn, BCCI threatens to go home like children, people cave into the children, Australia carry on winning. Full circle repeats.

And I guess Lleyon Hewitt once racially James Blake and got away with it coz of no proof and I guess you believe Lleyton Hewitt's word over James Blake lol like the arrogant racist guy you are.
RE:Ha ha
by chris on Jan 31, 2008 11:37 AM
On the contrary sir, this does nothing to show I'm racist and even less to show that Hewitt is racist, your logic defies all form of common sense. To know I'm racist you need merely ask me. The difference between me and Harbajahn and in fact the whole of India, is that I do not lie or make excuses about the fact. I do indeed harbor prejudices against singular Indians based upon proven facts about the Indian population as a whole, which by definition does make me racist.

dude you guys raise a whole lot of stink on Harbhajan Singh but not a pip out of you guys on Lleyton Hewitt when he was being racist and was caught on camera with sound and video and then he lied about it. Apart from just telling that he is is a knob. You yourself said you would'nt care about it. That shows your bias and your racist nature.
RE:Ha ha
by cynic on Jan 31, 2008 11:28 AM
That in itself shows you are a racist. Lleyton Hewitt told something racist and you dont even care about it lol
RE:RE:Ha ha
by cynic on Jan 31, 2008 12:03 PM
how about getting it recorded in the books that he is a racist. Your country just brushed it aside and anyhow who cares about your comment that he is racist etc. Having it recorded in the books that he is a racist will be better than your stupid little word.
RE:RE:Ha ha
by cynic on Jan 31, 2008 12:04 PM
he was caught on video/audio red-handed. I hope you know the diffrence between that and some Aussie allegations(unproven) as it turned out lol
RE:Ha ha
by chris on Jan 31, 2008 11:47 AM
lol how so? Here what do you want? Me to say Leyton Hewitt is a big racist and should go die in a fire? There consider it said.
Did Tennis Australia lean on an international tennis governing body because Australians took to streets burning effigies and considered accusations against one persons actions a state of emergency for our 'National Pride'? Stop being shepherded you media sheep, your country sure as hell needs you.
RE:Ha ha
by cynic on Jan 31, 2008 09:47 AM
it was not proven Chris. And the judge has put it down in judgement that symonds started it all. While we are at it, what is your explanation for Mcgrath having a go at Sarwan lol? or the Slater incident or having champion chuckers like Lee and Tait and protecting drug abusers like Shane Warne who is venerated like a God in Australia. Ausssies wanted Indians to respect umpire's verdict, why dont Aussies accept the judge's verdict and shut up lol
RE:Ha ha
by chris on Jan 31, 2008 10:12 AM
Glad you brought all this up.
I have nothing wrong with what Symonds said, if an opposition player touched a team member of mine on the behind I'd have said far worse, I could care less if he started it, the line was set at racial by the ICC, as Darren Lehman learnt when he crossed it. If you or the BCCI have a problem where the line is set, you've had years to take it up with the ICC instead of crying like girls.
LOL @ McGrath having a go at Sarwan, what do you want? An apology? Grown men in a competetive sport.
The Slater incident being Dravid stood his ground where it's been an unwritten law for just about forever that you walk on the fielders beliefs that they caught the ball, and yes Slater took it too far.
Lees action was suspect, as was Shoabs, both men corrected when they were scrutinised and I have no problems with their current actions. Also remember the rules were amended to 15 degrees to let Murali keep playing, nor Lee's or Shoab's worst balls ever come close to 15 degree straightening.
Nothing wrong with Tait's (although he is a girl and should of been born Indian), as there is nothing wrong with Malinger's.
Warne did the wrong thing, whether he knew the pills he bought over the counter of a chemist were banned substances by the ICC or not the fact is he should have known, he did the wrong thing, faced the music and served the ban. What more do you want? Remember it was a diet pill, not steroids or anything.
RE:Ha ha
by cynic on Jan 31, 2008 10:22 AM
you have not accepted the umpire verdicts. I always though Aussies hated drug cheats. Look what the US did to Marion Jones and look what the Aussies did to Shane Warne. If you guys really hate drug cheats his records should have been scrubbed forever. I am not surprised that you laugh off at Sarwan McGrath, it is all right for you guys to abuse a person personally, but can't take it back when the abused gets back with a similar derogatory word like 'Tere Maaki' and go running to umpires like little kids. Your ex-prime minister once called Murali a chucker. And of course you brushed off the Mark Waugh issue with a small little ban or something when he should have been banned like Azhar/Cronje. I believe Lee/Murali/Tait/Shoaib all chucked before and chuck even now. If SYmonds did the right thing in having a go at Harbhajan Singh why did the judge find it wrong or why has'nt Lee spoken about it at all. I am curious do you go around in streets abusing persons their families their countries(curry munchers and Bus Conductors v/s Tram conductors issue) and saying it is what grown ups do. Cricket is not football and personal abuse will not be tolerated anymore in the name of mental disintegration or sledging anymore.
RE:Ha ha
by chris on Jan 31, 2008 10:31 AM
Well, you're proving your a moron. Again, you say I'm not acccepting the umpires verdict (was a judge for starters) yet not explaining how I am not. Bucknor made incorrect decisions, that's just fact, you don't have to say oh no all his decisions were right he was never wrong to accept his decisions. Get it? Probably not, you are Indian afterall.
Warnes record should be scrubbed from the record books for taking a diet pill? Yeah ok champ.
Ofcourse I'll brush off McGrath to Sarwan, what you are going to tell me other countries cricketers do not taunt Australian players personally? Ofcourse you don't, so what the hell is your point here moron? Either make one or move on.
Not being able to handle abuse, blah blah. Already addressed, ICC set the line at anything racial, all captains were told they must report racial abuse, they followed the rules nothing more.
I presume you know nothing about what Mark Waugh did in comparison to Cronje to make such a moronic statement.
So what Howard called Murali a chucker, he was and they proved it and then changed the rules to accomodate it.
If you think the actions of those bowlers are illegal then you should have a problem with a great majority of the bowlers which make up the record books. Allan Donald is one in recent time who similarly snapped the wrist on delivery.
That's the judges opinion that cricket should be played under rainbows and with ribbons in our hair, what do I care for it?
RE:Ha ha
by chris on Jan 31, 2008 10:13 AM
it's obvious he is wrong, but that's life. I haven't called for a new judge or demanded my team refuse to play. So how have I not accepted the decision fool?
RE:RE:Ha ha
by cynic on Jan 31, 2008 10:27 AM
do I have to remind you that once Allan Border threatened to cancel a tour in Pakistan due to bad umpiring. Atleast the Indians did not threaten to cancel a tour due to bad umpiring lol
RE:Ha ha
by cynic on Jan 31, 2008 09:27 AM
yep and not to forget that Hansen was a white judge lol, just imagine a white judge finding Aussies guilty of sledging and putting it down officially that Symonds started it all, it cannot get better than this. I just wish BCCI had not postured to cancel the tour the second time around. Then this guys would have been truly lost everything lol. Now the Aussie media is whining about how BCCI controls the game, I wonder how many of the Aussie media actually read the judgement.
our media is hell bent on making sachin the hero in every thing related to indian cricket. actually, sachin did nothing to save bhajji. if he had any intent, he should have interfered when the matter surfaced at the outset. there also media tried to make him hero by spreading that he sent sms to powar;that sachin denied and our media had broken egg all over the face. here too, it was the confession of bhajji to have told something to symonds but not racially abused him that saved him from greatr punishment and the muscle power of bcci. sachin has nothing to do with it. yet another ploy of the media to keep sachin in the thick of the things as a hero. BULLSHIT!
RE:bullshit
by cynic on Jan 31, 2008 09:00 AM
This is India man, for us the word Harbhajan Singh uttered "teri maaki" is far more disgusting than the word he was supposed to have told "monkey", no wonder Harbhajan/Tendulkar never said until now what Bhajji actually told. Agreed that BCCI did not have to resort to bullying tactics publicly they could have done it in private :)
RE:bullshit
by ashish on Jan 31, 2008 09:24 AM
why your mind is so corrupted? Looks like there is some problem in your upbinging or in your parentage. "teri maaki" is not a bad word at all.
RE:RE:bullshit
by cynic on Jan 31, 2008 09:34 AM
it is a bad word, in India people dont go around in public saying "teri maaki" etc, it is more abusive than 'monkey', try calling some people in public in North India 'teri maaki' then you will come to know, although nobody in India would bother if you called them as 'monkey' you loser aussie troll
RE:bullshit
by ashish on Jan 31, 2008 08:59 AM
I get your point. The title is misleading, like Sachin came in as God himself and saved Bhajji out of nowhere... If Sachin was that powerful, why did he let the realy culprits Symond and his gang escape? lol
RE:bullshit
by cynic on Jan 31, 2008 09:32 AM
ponting symonds and clarke. The judge virtually questioned the integrity of clarke. It seems Clarke did not hear any abuse from Symonds and only heard "big monkey" from Harbhajan Singh. It seems Clarke never heard anything else either from Symonds or Harbhajan Singh. It is a frame-up by the rowdy trio of Aussies. Harbhajan Singh is within his right to sue the trio of rowdies for millions of dollars and I believe every Australian court will come to the same conclusion as Hansen lol

Abey Pook - did some one tell you "you can say thqat again"? Why do you repeat the same nonsense again and again?
The point the article is trying to make is that had Sachin not been where he was and not lent his full weight behind Bhaaji, Bhaaji may have been in deeper trouble. It is another fact that had Saching been not around, then it would have been Bhaaji's word against Symonds, and still, the benefit-of-doubt should go to Bhaaji. If the Australian team is baying about injustice, let them recall how many times they got away after saying much filthier words.
One lesson learnt from this is that Indians should be doubly agressinve against australians and report them for each and every abuse they make. If they get the same treatment Bhaaji got, pretty soon, Australian team wont be making any money because they will loose all of it in fines!
RE:bullshit
by Amitesh Raghavan on Jan 31, 2008 08:08 AM
It is quite strange when Sachin is appreciated for whatever he do good, some useless critics get on crying. The Justice John Hansen himself has told that he counted Sachin's word on Bhajji's decision and relieved him. What else he can do to help his colleage.
The second TEST should be scrapped and taken off the records for the result of the match was much below the standard yardstick used by the Umpire and it has been legally acknowledged in the removal of the Umpire himself. So, it is only fair and just this particular match should be taken off the records.

I am surprised how the Aussies dont mind when the entire world calls them as Kangaroos but are up in arms when one of them is called a monkey. I mean...come on... I wish there were more Gilchrists in the Aussie team...the world wouldnt mind losing to them.
