Why do we keep harping on about this??? Harbhajan got the wrong end of the stick, appealed and got cleared. Simple. I don't see anyone on this forum highlighting the fact that Harbhajan's bowling average is 61 for the tour. For India's sake, lets move on with the game! That means drop Harbhajan for future Tests. We have plenty of good young spinners and even Murali Kartik to take over from him. And we have to start planning for the Oct 08 series against Aus NOW or we're going to lose. Simple as well. And by planning I mean showing the vision to not make decisions as bad as sending a team on tour with only one first-class game preparation!
Symonds..i hope you understand that you cannot have a crack at Indians and get away with it. Its about time that the arogant aussies cricketers has the taste of their own medicine. And Ponting if you think you have been wronged then show some character and boycott the australians from the upcoming IPL. You want to earn money from India and at the same time have a crack at them. I assure you that in any stadium in India if symonds hayden clarke or you are playing you will be subjected to a lot of taunts and boos cause we Indians are really passionate about inflicting wrong to a person who we believe have wronged us and for that matter will respect anyone wholeheartedly if you respect us. Its in your face, take it or leave it.
This is truly Unfortunate that we even accepted fine on Bhajji. He got cleared for Racism and that's great, but why fine Bhajji only? Symond is the one who started the whole thing.. Why didn't they ban Symond??

Really unfortunate. I was really hoping I would see some better Indian spinners during the tests against SA. Now looks unlikely. Really unfortunate.

The fact is Brad hogg and Bhajji are at the same level. Brad hogg is wrong, but tht does not absolves Bhajji from using obscene language
kumble is a gentleman, and he's conducted with great dignity.its utter nonsense what the aussies have done with all that racial issue. the worst sledging bunch of players, whiners, losers, they look like a bunch of cry baby wuss of a lot. sheesh, all that drama ... not worth it. bring it on - get a million microphones and let the pitch banter be heard to everyone in this planet. i'd love to see those down under trying to conjure up some linguistic culinary on the pitch.

Kumble - a cut above!!
He is a class act, and a great captain who is intelligent, caring, communicator, fair and knowledgeable of the game "cricket. What else do we need. He is also a great patriot, he deserves to receive national honor.

Yesterday Hindustan Times printed an old photo of young Rabindranath Tagore, it looked like Kumble with black beard.
