ONE OF THE VERY BEST MESSAGES YET. SURELY A COLLECTORS' ITEM. APPRECAITE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR.
(6) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players in the world on the field. The OPPONENT TEAM should never comment anything, if done, it will be considered as RACISM.
(7) MATCH REFREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN TEAM's advice. Player's views from the other teams will not be considered for hearing. And as expected, MATCH REFREES will be given huge bonus for implementation of this rule.
(8) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA . This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.
(9) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE : If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING - "THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGTIRY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET" more than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES . This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be able to break all his predecessors' records and create history!!!!
These rules will clarify better to the all the teams VISITING AUSTRALIA .
(1) Ricky Ponting (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED ) should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE . As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE's decision is final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field.
(2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, if the ball flies anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 metre peripheral distance) , the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grassed. For further clarification contact the FOURTH UMPIRE . This is made to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.
(3) While BATTING , AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP; as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY , this can be higher.
(4) UMPIRES will be given a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the AUSTRALIAN team and board .
(5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players in the world on the field. The OPPONENT TEAM should never comment anything, if done, it will be considered
Few years from now this match will be considered only as one of the controversial matches ... it will not affect australians in anyway. Cold blooded Australians know that they didnt even loose a penny. On the other hand Indians went down by a series also it made them mentally miserable.

nehi re baba. Public memory is short. It will be just treated as a match India lost.
From now, nobody will call Andrew Symonds a monkey. All the monkey would be called Andrew Symonds. Hearing this news, monkeys all over the world have started protesting about this as they are being compared to boig monkey Symonds, and they feel that it is an insult to them.
World Monkey Association has decided to lodge a complain against Symonds at United Nation, as they felt abused comparing them to gorilla symonds.
Harbhajjan should be ban for 3 test matches, not for racially abusing symonds, but comparing monkey breeds with Symonds.... The next match at Perth should be called Australian monkey 11 Vs Indian 11.
Monkey Association head is of the opinion that, they were racially abused of being called as "Symonds". They stated, we would feel obliged and feel better if we are called "Rajnikanth"

This is ridiculous. How can you abuse someone based on their appearance. Yeah those aussies can be complete morons at times, but denigrating a player is hardly something to be proud off. Wouldnt India gloat over a player of Symonds capabilities. How would we feel if the Aussie crowds did a similar thing to Tendulkar and called him a leprechaun (for his small frame)? The majority of Indian public is paying for the stupidity of some people. Indians are respected world over for their work and often are not attractive, but this never comes in their way when it comes to success. Grow up. As for the Bhajji and Bucknor issue, great stand by BCCI to get the right stuff fodne by ICC, and India is going to whupp the Aussies in their Perth heartland. Go India.

That is what sledging is. you rattle your opponent. Don't be naive. I don't care if they call Tendulkar a leopard. In fact he is called worse, i.e. questions about the male anotomy acording to newspaper reports.
I find nothing racist in monkey. This is the first I heard that monkey was used by white men to abuse people of color. If white man is living under the hang over of history why should Harbhajan be punished? Symonds with his get up does look like a monkey.

Here are some opinions of some of the Aussies and English people on 'Monkey': Harvey said to him 'monkey' was not a racially offensive term and "It's a bit rich for the Australians to get on their high horse considering how they act."
By Former Australian coach John Buchanan asked whether "monkey", the term allegedly used by Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh to address Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds, is racist. "When I was growing up as a young fella, 'you little monkey' was a common colloquial reference for all children due to our ability to be a bit cheeky at times," Buchanan wrote in his column on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) website on Wednesday. "Now, it is a racist term. How the world changes - still that is not really the issue."
By Geoffrey Boycott I can't help noticing what a resounding lack of sympathy there has been around the world, and even in Australia, for Andrew Symonds and his sad little protestations of racial abuse. So Harbhajan Singh called him a monkey. So what? The Aussies have been dishing out far worse for years, as anyone in the cricket world will tell you.

You may not find anything racist in monkey. But its okay. You don't know half the things that go on in the world.
Follow European football and you'll know what Monkey means to a person of African origin. Monkey chants have got fans life banned from games. If you still don't get what's wrong with Monkey-African connection, when you call a person of African origin as monkey, it means they have still not evolved fully into human beings, and are still living up in the trees..
Got it mate? That is what was explained to Harbhajan earlier during Aussie tour of India..
He still seems to have used the slur again.. I'm not saying he DID, but he may have. That's what's wrong.
And BTW Symonds does look like a monkey because he is from African origin. And THAT is what's wrong to call the African people as.

Remember, indian public loves mnay west indians greats who are black and look more black than symonds.
It's his on field behavior that draws all the flake.. He is essentially a street thug that got selected for aussie team.
RE:RE:RE:sdsdssd
by Indian on Jan 11, 2008 12:26 PM
But an excessively good street thug.
Even if you consider that he was unfortunately given notout a couple of times, scoring 162 notout and bail your side out from a hole of 134/6 is a bit tough for a street thug normally.
Why should anyone agree to what Ponting says or wishes He is just a cricketer & behaves more than the game. Thinking himself to be the Supreeme. Balls to him
Ponting and his team has certainly broken the records ............ of rudeness, unsportmanship and uncouth behaviour.He certainly is consistent in his rudeness .The australians are not able to stomach a dose of their own medicine , but they expect everybody else to keep quiet about when they are the ones who are abusing.That time it is only the australians plying their cricket hard .What hypocrites !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyways india has shown that they will not listen to them if they cross the line

Ranji Game - Bhupinder Singh Jr defends a ball by Manoj Prabhakar, who angrily throws the ball at the body of Bhupindher Singh. Aamir Sohail, Miandad, and Moin Khan, Shoiab and other Pakis repeatedly harrass Indians. Flintoff symbolizes that he stripped India by taking off his shirt in Wankhede. Every country is a culprit of rude behavior. Pontings team takes it one notch above, but they arent the only ones. You should give credit where its due, they are easily the best team in the world. Yeah but they dont deserve 16-0, atleats a few of them were helped by umpiring.
The greatest Australian Cricket Team was during the period of Alan Border. I wish this team should have played against the likes of Great West Indian Legends in late 70's. I am sure they would have their shit stained underwears (like how our Australian friend said yesterday) in their bed rooms to remember the fierry attack. Gone are those days when West Indies were dominating the Cricket world but still respect the opponent in every aspect.
