ICC is always hiding behind its archaic rules which applies to all teams except Aussies.Even in the Harbhajan Singh incident the provocateur Symonds got away.ICC goes by the dictum "Show me the man and We will show the rule".No other team has vandalized cricket like the Aussies have done with this barbaric practice called sledging.Now the new trend is to not only sledge but lodge complaints against opposite teams for the very same offence that this team has pioneered,nurtured and perpetrated over generations.It is high time all the other cricket playing nations come together and decide whether they want to legalise sledging or ban the players caught sledging for life.It is time that this menace is buried once and for all.

Yes, you are absolutely right. I can't understand why the ICC is partial and favouring the Aussies. All the other teams should join hands and talk to the ICC regarding sledging- either to ban it or legalise it. When the Asian players give the Aussies the taste of their own medicine, they can't take it. It is ridiculous. The ICC has a set of rules for the Aussies and another set of rules for the other teams. The incidents involving Bhajji and Ishant proves that the ICC is totally biased.

the fine was for bowler pointing towards the dressing room at a batsman after he got dismissed. if u know this then u wud know who is to be blamed for
BCCI is a coward association led by a politician who doesnt know abc of the game. Why BCCI is afraid of ICC n CA ? All BCCI officials are having a slave mentality who want our players also to become of same mentality by accepting the bad words of Aussies n by only complaining on paper. Is any of the BCCI official have guts to take the bull by horn ?
I think by retaliating to Aussies' provocations we are playing the game their way. The best thing to do is to turn our back to the guy making the comments/sledging. Let him know he's talking to our backs! That wd get him all angry again. Cheers! SSM
