Chris Board is father of Stuart Board who is hit by Yuvraj in Twenty20 for 6 sixes....so naturally he is not happy with Indian team....and then Australia is known for sledging;evreything seems to be conspiracy against Indian team and now against India to give bad name to its clean image considering racism....its pity

Chris Broa is a racist for a start ..you can have a look at his genorisity with punishments and fines when it was a sub continental player and he would let go whites when tehy commit the similar and sometimes bigger crimes.
Again, Monkey chanting ..is stupid allegation. This is not the way indian's show their racist attitudes .. we have our own way and monkey chanting does not work as Monkey's are revered and Indians cannot possibly disgracec anyone by calling them a monkey.
Australians could not hear the Racist remarks against South Africans even though both of them speak English. But the match referee Chris Broad at vadodara was able to understand the racial remarks against Australians though he can neither understand Hindi or Gujrati ! What a joke !
BCCI should know that they are powerful being the richest sports body of the world and try to throw out match referees like Broad. ICC is dependent on BCCI not viceversa.. Many of the white match referees themselves are racially biasd.

chris broad will not b thrown out as a match refree, nor will BCCI annoy ICC becoz sharad pawar has to become chairman ICC.from the time this man has been the head of BCCI he has not taken up any matter of discrimation against sub-continental players. a man who digested the insult at the presentation ceremony by the aussie captain & martyn, what can u say about him. he is a tail wagger of the whites whose votes he needs for the coveted post he is after.had this incident, at the presentation ceremony happened during dalmiya's reign he would have left the dias and not handover the cup to the aussies,instead would have warned australian cricket board to send human beings & not animals for international tournaments. this is not the 1st time that aussies have behaved in this fashion. in calcutta way back in 1969 2 aussie players who were in an inebriated state fought with a photographer who was taking their photographs & broke his camera.india should not deter from sledging the aussies becoz they understand only tit for tat. this tour is so hot becoz the aussies r not able 2 digest india's victory in the 20-20 world cup,& their own defeat at our hands in the semi-finals.its high time india,pakistan,b'desh,s'lanka&w.indies united to teach these white men specially the aussies a lesson.the aussies r no doubt good players, but it is their sledging and abusing which gets on opposition players. most of the aussie players r school dropouts, so 1 cannot expect anything better.
What a joke this is! Chris Broad and his clan must have their eyes checked and memory brushed up. Have they forgotten the simple truth that Australians are creditted with 'inventing' this sledging? Many others have only fine tuned this art. Racial slur is just an extention of the orginal inventin. It is going to stay in a different way even if Chris Broad is doing his duty. The question is will he have enough courage to accuse Australians if they are caught (they will indulge in this extravaganza on a regular basis) in this game?

I am afraid you are completely wrong. No one can improve on the art of sledging ... for they have been doing it right from Don Bradman's time onwards ... with that kind of experience, it will be a tough act for anyone to follow. Australia always claim they play cricket the hard way and that includes sledging ... it would do well to remember that Australia always start these kind of theatrics wherever they go and becoz they have an awesome record of wins, they believe they can get away with anything. Do u remember that on field behavior of Aussies is terrible ... Dennis Lillee kicking Miandad in the latter's butt : yet u will always see Miandad with his raised bat against Lillee ... Aussies always have some problem or the other wherever they go but their own crowds are always on exemplary behavior ... They have forgotten the adage 'As u sow, so you reap'. God help them ... it would be great if other cricketing nations enforced some form of blockade to Australia playing in their own countries. It might help get some sense into these guys.
I add andrew symonds, after Shane Warne, Glenn Mcgrath, Ricky Ponting, Michael Slater, in the list of sledgers & most arrogant players. Most of the australians are "basta*ds".

Absolutely! Atleast for India's tour to Australia! He will teach Indians a trick or two on how to handle the Australians! Remember when some one asked whether he looks directly into the eyeballs of Shane Warne when Ranatunga is the batsmand and Shane bowling to him?
He said-I dont look at eyeballs or any other balls of the bowler! The only ball I look at is the cricket ball!
