Guys, Please voice your opinion on cricinfo and BBC too. The whole world reads BBC and Cricinfo and let the world know how we feel. There are a lot of australians up there claiming whatever ponting and his team mates did in SCG was fair. Lets give them a fitting reply
Although there is little doubt that Australian team has superb talent, they have once again demonstrated that they are a team of cheaters and bleaters. Ponting and Clarke, captain and future captain respectively, deceived the umpires by claiming catches they had grassed. It was the Australian team under Waugh that started bleating onfield and Ponting's team has sunk to a new low. India should press for punishment for both Ponting and Clarke for cheating, and press for action against the biased decision of Proctor which was based without any evidence. Proctor should be charged for racial bias for handing an adverse decision to Harbhajan based on the lies of white Australian players. And what is the need for Mike Benson to stand in the middle? He should sit at home and let Ponting decide whether a batsman is out or not. The Indian team should return home and the BCCI should refuse to pay any penalty to the Australian board. If it leads to a split in the ICC, so be it. BCCI, any balls??
RE:Australian team much worse than monkeys; Ponting;s and Clarke's behavior will put monkeys to shame

Well said Sanjay. For the first time BCCI has taken a bold stand. It is Harbhajan Singh today, tomorrow it will be Laxman and then Ganguly or any one who is perceived as a threat to their winning the matches. Ponting has cheated and so have the umpires. They need to be disciplined. ICC can not afford to ban India - let that be very clear to them. If they do decide to, they would be the looser. If the cricketing ties with Australia are affected - so be it. If you keep taking it lying down, people will keep giving it to you. Time has come to realise our strength in the polity of nations, and even if it is in cricketing ties. Well done BCCI for taking this stand. We are with you. Don't let our national pride be trampled over.
Isn't it ironical that in cricket, Aussies get away all the time by using the "B" word, but if someone uses the word "Monkey" it is called racism? I am not suggesting that Harbhajan really used the word 'Monkey", but I simply find the moral standards of the ICC to be dubious. "Monkey" is normally considered far less offensive than the "B" word.

if you say shutup to a monkey, the first of all will not understand and on top of that will do whatever you want. monkeys dont understand human language. They should be put behind bars
Decipher these facts & write boldly forfairness sake! 1.Bucner deliveres most of the lbws against Indian players and rarely against Aussies--- Why?
2. Why has the ICC not taken a serious notice of Ricky Ponting telling the that other umpire weather to raise his finger ore not?
3. Why Australians have been intimidating Ajit Agarkar by calling him "Bombay Duck"
4. Were Ponting,Buckner,Benson etc. anyway involved with infdluencing thegame results for their betting-profit share. Investigators should analyze tapes of Aussie Channel 9 - of second test's finalday!
5. I always thought Gregg Chappel came in to destroy Indian Cricket.
6. Why S.Power & Niranjan Shah have now hired a SAfrican Coach ? We all think this Indian Coaching staff is doing an excellent job-- (unravelling G. Chappels team destruction tactics, intimidating good players etc.)--- & building a proud & producing Indian team.
Indians & Americans are real competitors in every field in this world mosty all others are no match of anykind! Jai Hind!
Great start BCCI. now keep this going and dont bend in front of Aussies otherwise the moral of Team India will be shattered. I think BCCI should also lodge an official compalint/appeal and have the sydney test officially abaondoned due to bad umpiring decisions.
