It's a clear cut case of racial abuse against Asians. This has happened in the past also.BCCI and Indian team should remain firm on their stand.No wonder if Australians have given some monetorry benifit to the umpires and Mike Procter to handle this matter as per their convenience.If Australians are taking all measures to win this matter, BCCI should also use all the tools to ensure their victory in the matter after all they are the highest contributors to ICC in terms of financial support.
Both are useless bowlers - one worse than the other and we are wasting time on them. They would be sacked if not banned by ICC anyway. Kumble played a stupid trick by accusing Hogg and then withdrawing that complaint so Bhajji is let off. I think something is amiss in the whole story - and BCCI is trying use the "goonda" tactics to browbeat ICC. Aussies have their typical "now I got you SOB" approach to Harbhajan. ICC looks incompetent because it did not use the stump umpire evidence in the first case which the judge is trying to remedy.
Mike Procter is not a known player to the mass. Though he was rated at par with Botham and Kapildeo but played only 7 tests for RSA. After such a small career how can be a person judged as a legend and compared to greats like Kapil or Botham.
In short span less than 10 tests there are lot of players who has done great works like Narendra Hirwani, W V Raman, Krish Broad for England. But do we rate them so high?
The core of the message is why we depute so non exhistant personality like him and Ranjan Madugale?
These small cricketers only do good for their career earning through assignment and help few crooked white people who are unfortunatly the master of ring in ICC?
As we command the chunk of the cricket lovers in world, some genuine persons like Gavasker, Ravi Shastri, Akram, Ranatunge should be made the authorities for ICC.

He is a True South African because he got an opportunity to play for england but he rejected since he wanted to play for SA but at that time SA was boycotted from cricket for 21 years so as far as iam concerned he is a real Allrounder

If someone were to call Gavaskar or Bedi genuine persons - the laughter clubs in Bombay will be disbanded !! Shastri and Akram are only slightly better. Ranatunge is a politician of the first order.

INDIA SHOULD CHANGE THIS ATTITUDE,IN ALL TYPES OF MANNER.THEN ONLY WE WIIL BEOCME A DEVELOPED NATION IF NOT WE WILL BE DEVELOPING TILL THE WORLD COMES TO AN END.WE SHOULD FIGHT BACK IN ALL THE MANNER,IF IT IS WRONG ALSO WE SHOULD PROVE WE HAVENT DONE ANYWRONG.
I am confident that after the BCCI stand not to play ODI series is a great move, ban on Bhajji will be lifted, he may just have to give shell his match fee.Let's hope for the best...
In the event of the verdict gone against Harbhajan, India must withdraw from rest of the match schedule as told earlier by BCCI. Undermining the Indian is not at all tolerable. PPBhattacharjee

Truth be damned - if you talk of punishing Harbhanjan irrespective of what he said- you are an unpatriotic, white ass licking jehadi.
