People are playing the race card when it comes to ball tampering nowadays. Like Ian chappel said its been going on for a looooooooong time,prolly since 1970s itself..
Dont play the race card,India and Pak,SLanka have used the race card enough to get away with lot of atrocies
Sachin caught redhanded ball tampering(video had evidence in SAF India series in 2002)later let go due to BCCI bullying ICC Same thing with Inzis team in England a year ago
Murali called for no balling in 1995 Ranatunga and SRilankan board bullied using the race card
Same excuse used by other chuckers like Shoaib,Harbhajan and now pretty much every team has a chucker...
so enough using the race card..had been abused enough by our asian players..
My point is no one is perfect,not just the westerners pretty much every cricket board has been racist and we donthave right to blame whites when we have used race to ouradvantage..do u agree or not?
Atleast Southafrican Hansie Cronje(White)admitted to match fixing unlike Azhar or Salim malik(asians)still maintain their innocence,u think they are innocent? U cant throw stones sitting in a glass house,not every Indian or Pak cricketer is a Gundappa Viswanath who believed in fair play. Today despite all video evidence,third umpire,referral etc sachin tendulkar after edging the ball to leg slip and given out(that too after third umpire,referral etc)and such a thick edge at that doesnt want to walk and shakes his head,u call that fair p

Rashid Latif takes a catch after its completely dropped and u call that fair play(yea he was baned for 5 matches) dont u think Tampering first started by Imran and co(are they whites?) Match fixing prime bookies and fixers from Indo Pak(are they whites?)
Murali still keeps playing and watch clips of his now with close up and tell me if that isnt throw then what is?
nOW THE contest is who uses racism better? if ponting got away by claiming dropped catch what about dhoni getting away doing the same in the series in England. Its racist by letting go asian players and officials for their mistakes,everyone should be punished when they err

Hes been eating in his restaurant the last 5 or 6 years and trying to satisfy his wife who is 5 years older than him...he cant do the latter part but is good in the former.. But dont worry he will still not retire or sacked for god knows how long... maybe one more aus tour,one more wcup or maybe even two...

His fans will never stop supporting him even if he stays for 10 more years and not announce retirement...
