Anyone commenting here should see the telecast of the match. In this case Benn is solely responsible for the whole episode. He started it all. After completing the run Haddin do react to the provocation from Benn.

Tell us, what kind of provocation did Benn do. Fielding the ball is that you call provocation ???
Those who have seen the incident would definitely support the decision. Benn delibrately blocked Johnson during a run. He again grabbed Johnson's neck and shoulder after some time. This is unsightly and must be prevented. White people need not to be guilty always.

After that ball, If there is a purposeful blocking, Why didnot Johnson complain to umpire. It was Haddin who started it. Not Benn.
why is ICC not taking any action against the aussies??cant they see that even the aussies were wrong.every time they make a mistake,the opponent has to take the brunt of it and they get away with a minimal fine,this is disgusting..
If ben can be banned just because he bad mouthed the opposition, the entire Aussie team should be banned. If it is for trying to stop the ball in his own follow up i think Mitchell jhonson should be banned for a min 8 tests. He had tried to Stop DHONI 3 times during their recent match in India from taking a run or by standing in between the crese so that the batsman could not run. HOwever i feel the Aussies are COWARDS. When ever they see a better player playing well against them...BE it the chucking incident of murli, HArbajan case, Giving sachin out lbw for being hit on the helmet....OR for reasons other than cricket like the INDIAN students getting better of the AUSSIEs on all counts in their country.......Or their contry going back on the deal...some days back For being a good country the citizens need to standup and face matters upfront
Look at this, the two freed men with minor punishment and the one who makin decision is white, and the one who got punished severely is a black man, this is what happens all round, inside sports and outside the sports. we all know wht happens to the foreigners in Australia, very infamous for their attitude towards black/brown skinned people, and i dont think the honourable Mach Refree need any kinda introducion. It is very clear, RACISM need to be wiped off....period.
