Symonds and Aussie players are playing game with us. Symonds by saying he was racially abused, he is indirectly fueling his back home fans. so that they can do all sort of cheap things when we go there for their summers. Aussies are clever and do in playing mind games.
Is calling someone a monkey racial abuse? Symonds should let the Indian public know how he was "racially abused". There is no point in speaking about these exclusively to the Aussie media. If he does have a case the guilty should be punished else Symonds should be sued for having brought the crowd to disrepute. References to Indians as "Vindaloos", "curry munchers" by these fellows on and off the field is quite well known. Why is the ICC mum on these issues?
Maybe someone can explain to me why a country of a billion people who love cricket with absolute passion cannot beat a country who only have 20 million people alot of whom have no interest in cricket at all.

'Vadodra Police Commissioner C.P. Thakur told this correspondent: "We've inquired into the matter and it's confirmed that the charges leveled by Symonds against the crowds for having racially abused him are baseless.'
This statement by the police is consistent with their earlier stance that no systematic targeting of communities took place nor do any encounters ever take place! No wonder it happened in Vadodara. Gujrat has been so lumpenized during the recent past that it has somehow become a Germany at the eve of WWII. Denial upon denial..as if waiting for another conflagaration. Issues need to be tackled head on and not brushed up under the carpet.

what abt cry of 'Shastri Hai hai' chanted throughout India even in Bombay. It is the public who do not like someone and then go overboard. To equate such cry like racial abuse is nothing but playing to the tune of Ausi game plan.
There is no harm till any glass bottle not coming from crowd. Symond this is that which u could listned but what about those u have not listened. U are at that place if u make the run indian will abuse u and not making run autailian will abuse u .Be happy sir and play cricket ,we are also enjoying your batting
when Warne could not be succeed in India against Sachin and others, after the series, he came with the excuse that he was having wrist problem, shoulder problem,etc. Those injuries did not hurt him while playing in India but complained abt injuries once the series was over. Notwithstanding the fact Symonds and Aussi have been successful, they are doing the same thing giving wrong excuses to defame opponents.
