Ramesh Laxman
Racism in Cricket
by Ramesh Laxman on Nov 08, 2008 02:35 PM

I come from a non test playing country and have followed this game for the last 40 years. When it comes to racism the Australians are masters of deceit and deception. The arrogant confidence with which they accuse people of colour of racism reminds me of the person who pays his debts with a credit card and then declares himself a bsnkrupt and goes to a kangaroo court and say that he has done nothing wrong. They are trying to make us feel guilty and hope that we will try to get out of that guilt feeling by continuing to invite them to play in the IPL where the money is.

Do not be fooled. They must be treated in international cricket in a manner in which they deserve to treated.

Racism In Cricket.
by Guest on Nov 08, 2008 02:22 PM

I come from a non test playing country and have followed this game since 1960. The Australians are masters of deceit and deception when it comes to racism and you know from whom they got that ability. The arrogant confidence with which they accuse Indian and Sri Lankan players of racism is similar to a man who pays his debts with a credit card and declares himself a bankrupt and tells tells everyone that he is now out of debt.
The best we of colour can do is to turn a blind eye and make sure that these masters of deceit and deception are excluded from the IPL.

First of all I would like to ask Mr Mahim, what have u contributed to Indian cricket or to India....... apart from daily bloody shiting on your motherland u have done nothing. It is ppl like you who should be thrown out of this country.Please keep your Ideas to your self. I agree there are problems here...but tell me a place where there r no problems... supposing your parents r poor u dont stop loving or repecting them.
Infact we all r proud being Indians and if u r not u dont deserve to be called an Indian.

Thank you for offering not to come back ever. You have given enough evidence of your pea-sized brain. Go back to the cave where you belong and do not offend us with your incoherent ramblings. Good riddance of bad rubbish!!!

Austrialia Crickers

Kangroos are not good ambassador of any sport, they master the art of sledging & this sledging only made them world champions of cricket - they always plays mind games - when ganguly & his team hit back the mind games during 2004 cricket tour one can see the result.

And we believe in Zero tolerance too..
by Rishi N on Nov 08, 2008 05:18 AM  | Hide replies

I would like to start off by saying that it is not like India is known for its racist slurs and actions. Racism is not common in India.

You saw you grew up in Tasmania and decided to have zero tolerance toward
racism based on your culture and surroundings. Similarly, we are not used to people sleding about our mother, sisters, wife etc either. So you care about your culture and beliefs but not about others' beliefs and others' culture? How did you behave with the Indian reporter in Australia when he asked you about the catch you picked up from the floor? How did you treat Mr. Sharad Pawar when you received your trophy? Can you show us such instances of Indian players doing similar stuff to Australians before you call our players racists?

Our coaches and teachers in schools teach us to respect our opponents whether we are winning or losing. And naturally when you play your so called "hard and fair" we have never been exposed to such words on the cricket field and don't know how to retaliate. So we believe in Zero tolerance toward your sledging or mental disintegration or playing "hard and fair". Our talking is restricted to - how you bat, your average, your score in the last match etc. So before you go preaching the world about zero tolerance toward anything, ask your team to shut their mouths and play the game.

what do ponting wants to say about Darren Lehman (who had abused Sri Lnakan players) and Dean Jones (described South African player as terrorist). Ten Sports have taken back Dean jones... When all the issue is handled by Cricket Australia and ICC,why Mr Ponting is worried about the issue which is over...

Lets eradicate all blights..why only this?
by JM on Nov 07, 2008 11:36 PM

especially the ones where Aussie-trash like you abuse one's religion, wife, mother and children.

Ponting, you remind me of the fox that wanted to be a saint, but couldnt resist gobbling his followers. We all know you are a saint...
....you trailer-trash criminal-gened b-sd.

Indians let you get away in the bar when you misbehaved with girls in Bangalore and Calcutta a long time back, they must have trashed you...I hope they do sometime!
