Let me educate u about racism in Australian cricket. The instances of Australian cricketers being racist are too many to list. Thats why its like the pot calling the kettle black !!
But here's a list of them for your elementary education -
Darren Lehmann calling a Jayasuriya a "black monkey" McGrath calling the SL team "a bunch of apes" McGrath spitting on a black WI player (Sarwan) in Guyana. Dean Jones calling Hashim Amla a "terorist" Australian crowds calling black SA players "kafers" Graeme Smith even warned England players of Asian origin to not go to Australia - Monty Panesar and Sajid Mahmood , because the racism from the crowd would be too much for them. Ranatunga telling Murlitharan not to play in Australia because of racist taunts from the crowd.
and the list goes on .. and on .. and on ..
If you doubt any of the above stories, google for them, and look it up, these were all reported by Australian media, not Indian media.
There have been charges of racism againt Australia from South Africa, England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka. Can they all be wrong ???
So before talking about India go back to your own country and educate yourself about your cricketing culture !
And perhaps the debate about racism has gone further in your country than ours because of 1 reason - Maybe its because there is more racism in your country than ours !!!!

It seems the only edification I require is to participate in this forum. It is replete with racist jibes.
Two wrongs don't make a right. All players have been informed of the ICC's zero tolerance in relation to racisim in cricket. If India or any other country feel agreived at any slur or inuendo struck by an Australian or other cricketer, they have same recourse as an Australian player. I suggest they take it up, and have it tested, rather than whining about it.
From my own point I can tell you and your compatriots that Cricket Australia rigorously enforces anti racist policies at all leveles of the game in Australia. It has been over the last few years a rampant debate in all sports in Australia.
Before seeking to lecture me, read some of the comments directed at myself in this forum and tell me if it sits well with your sense of fair play.
And let me say I reject the notion absolutely that a player, whomever he or she may be, may not lodge a complaint to the appropriate sporting bodies officials and have that complaint tested.
The ever worst play from australia. To make the consecutive world test records win they played at their worst. Ricky poting is the worst captain who played to australia!! Can I know the amount he offered to umpires regarding the series?

India was simply outplayed. If you don't get over your huberis regarding the style of cricket you play, and do something about it, you are destined to fail. I for one hope you never wake up, it makes beating India easier, bit boring, but easy.
M clark is following the path created by S waugh and followed by R ponting to become next capt of auss. he is now becoming expert in fooling umpire, match ref and being involed in the disruption at ground.
Aussis you are getting one after other corrutped shameless cricketers. your future is bright. may God help you win 100 test in a row with your shameless and corrupt display on and off cricket ground.

Come on now, he still has a lot to learn. The take the wrong gloves onto the field as the last batsman, to eat up time ploy, by Sharma and Co was a classic. It just goes to show Australia's not the best at everything.

You are exactly right. Clark has passed the internship and is the next captain of Aus.
Fooling the umpire is a part of what the Aussies train in. M.Clark is the junior master now and has the full backing of the senior master!!!!
Other qualifications to be Aus captain- 1. cheat 2. be unrefined and act like thugs 3. unsettle the opposition by calling them racist and what not 4. cheat 5. cheat
