wrong analysis, pal. aussies have nothing to lose in financial terms, since bcci would be asked to pay for all latent expenses.

hahahaha, wrong analysis, bud. Aussie got a lot to loose finacially. The Sponsors, TV coverage, Public at the groud, the local economy boosted by the Indian tourist...and the list goes on.
If you have seen the game, you must have noticed how many Indians were at the Ground. The Perth and Sydney were very much loaded by almost Indians only..
Now the power that BCCI has, you think they will pay any latent? I don't think so..not even a penny. And the future will Aussie will be on line too. Aussie will be the sole looser as India really care less financially..lol
The Aussies have really got sick minds.They have just trapped Bhajji on a stupid racist charge.Indian team should have known better than to continue playing after the disgusting goings on in the Sydney test.It was pretty obvious to the whole world what Ausies were upto all along.But for the money angle getting precedence over self-respect BCCI should have called it off after the Sydney test.Now BCCI is again doing the sabre rattling.The whole thing stinks(Of money?) .

Also - Indian corporations should ban Australians from advertisements (e.g. Lee, Waugh and whoever else). Let them earn their money in Australia - why let them come to India for all the pots of money if this is how you want to treat Indians?
It is to be seen how ICC can trust this so called new evidence. Some questions arise from this so called new evidence.
1. Where was this evidence, when Mike Procter held his hearing? I think there was sufficient time period between the time of incidence and the hearing.
2. Another interesting point to be noted here is that the ESPN-STAR (the broadcasters) were able to get the feed from stump mike till 2nd day of Sydney Test. Channel 9 suddenly stopped this service from 3rd morning during which period above incidence happened. (It appears all this was pre-planned.)
3. Now all of sudden, how come Channel 9 comes up with this evidence. It is really surprising. Even after the seriousness of series withdrawal threat by India, nothing was said about this evidence. At least they should have informed ICC that they were having the recordings and handed over the tapes to them.
It all appears that the said incidence was preplanned and Harbhajan was framed. (He is the only player in the present team who can be easily provoked. Thank god, Sreesanth was not there, other wise, he certainly would have been in place of Harbhajan). It appears not, CA and ICC want to cover up their mistakes by bringing up this so called "new evidence". But the question is how can one trust such an evidence after so many days. May be somebody doesn't want the tour to go ahead peacefully. May be Aussies are scared of losing.

It is clear that this is pre planned. They waited for the moment. Symonds provoked bhajji and Hayden and ponting joined the party. Surprising that Gilchrist also joined. If you see the transcripts clearly, it is symonds that created the word monkey and big mouth hayden continued that. If it proves wrong procter,hayden,symonds and ponting should be banned for life. Will the BCCI fight for it?. even they hired a Advocate who is the father some BCCI offcial. If India had drawn the series,it would have been worst than this.
THis report is WRONG. Sachin claimed that he NEVER heard anything being said during his testimony.
On one hand rediff publishes the 'leaked' report of Procter and on the other hand it says 'The word of Sachin Tendulkar, batting partner with Harbhajan, said to the contrary, was not taken into account'
Rediff be careful what you print! Where are the proofreaders?
