Guys check for famous sledges on the net and u will see most of them are from Aussies. There is also a case where a NZ cricketers sister had died in a train accident and Aus used that as a sledge. We all know how Aus want to win at all cost. The problem is Aus were the main sledgers before and when they are getting a taste of their own medicine, they have a bad taste.

Yes, you are right. It was Chris Cairn's sister who had died in a train accident and once while Chris Cairns was batting, the aussies when they couldn't get him out, the close-in feilders started imitating the noise of a hooting train and kept reminding Chris about his sister's death. At that moment Chris was already in tears.
This has to be the most sick example of Sledging. Aussies used to term it mental desintegration.

In way if BCCI had used it's money power to show aussies their place, it was correct. We all know that Bhajji had really called him monkey because firstly symonds is known by this name mostly in India and secondly monkey name is not racial in India.
sense of righteousness of the white is visible. Statements are out of context. Simons may be affected by such statements. to tease any body as a monkey is not a slur or racial decrimination. It is pure fun. so much of the culture of West has been accepted by us. Including dress sense of accepting exposure as a dress and as a statement of individuality, boy friend girl friend etc. No body mis undersatnds west an account of that. It is time that they accept our value system and stop measuring us from their perceived righteousness.
Whether Harbhajan made any racial comments or not, the Oz's should get their own medicine. They have done lots off racial discrimination for most of the indian students/families staying in Australia. The prime example of this is evident from Md. Haneefs case. Students who are going to australia for getting Degree are sent back to India by giving THIRD DEGREE (torture). These Aussie players want to win at any cost even if it may be against the spirit of the game.At the same time BCCI is misusing its muscle power.Rather than showering lots of rewards to the world cup winning team, why dont they improve the quality of picthes and stadiums which we are having currently. People who dont know about cricket are becoming the administrators of Cricket in India..which is funny...!!
