What are Aussies fussing about now?

The Australian newspapers and media all over has headlines like

"Cricket's day of shame" - Sydney Morning Herald

"Cricket caves in to India's demands" - The Australian

"India gets its way, Harbhajan charge downgraded, ban overturned." - The Sun-Herald

Where were these very newspapers when Brad Hogg used foul and filthy language against the Indian players. For them that is appropriate conduct. These very newpapers did not pushed everything aside when Ricky Ponting and his "gentlemen" team shoved the BCCI president off the dias on winning the Champions trophy. Its a shame that Andrew Symonds got away without any punishment. He too should have been fined 50% of his match fees for instigating Harbhajan.

All the evidence points towards Andrew Symnonds calling himself a monkey and Hayden supporting him. Furthermore, as per Darwin, aren't we all decendants of these very apes. So is Darwin a racist?

Aussies, please remember, the new India is polite and still follows the Gandhian philoshy but we have learnt not to show our other cheek when hit by someone. We will hit back where it hurts most if we are offended in any way. You abuse us, we will kick the butt out of your ass. We are here for good, like it or not.

Harbhajan in, Procter and Bucknor out

As per the latest news reaching in on the racism controversy, Harbhajan Singh is free to play the 3rd & 4th test matches in on going Border Gavaskar test series down under and Bucknor is not officiating in the 3rd test in Perth. Moreover, Ranjan Madgule has been appointed as the refree for the remainder of the series replacing Proctor, whose integrity too was doubtful in the entire case relating to Harbhajan's suspension. ICC has also confirmed that they have received an official complaint against Australian spinner Brad Hogg for using abusive language.

The Indian team, however, has refused to leave Sydney till Harbhajan is absolved of the racism charges all togather.

This should send a clear signal to the authorities concerned that they need to look into the matters more judiciously than before and take strict action against the erring Australians who "like to play their game tough" but donot have the stomach to take it back in same spirit.

For any of those who have not followed the controversy so far, here it is summarized

January 8 - ICC removes Steve Bucknor from officiating in the 3rd test in Perth and appoints Madgule as series refree.
