I think we guys need to dig deep on this one. We take a crack at people, and get livid if they dish it out to us. Our cricket team is an embarrassment to us.

Reemeber the McGrath incident? If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out!

I think the way this has been handled is a complete joke! Singh should have been sent home back to his own country!
The indians run the ICC, Australia is the greatest team and India have the most money! Thats the only reason India are considered a power in the game, it’s not because they are at or near the same level of the Aussies!

HI,
I couldn’t help noticing this Harbhajan issue that you are keep posting it on front page and keep crying about that unfair has done to australia, but nobody is talking about that Symonds started it when you guys do wrong stuff it is okey but when you get reply from some other player and specially from Asian player it becomes wrong at the same time.
India is not running the world cricket it is just australia is no more super power in Cricket.
I dont think Harbhajan used any racial work like “monkey” he might have used word which is same in hindi and Urdu “Maan ki” I am really happy with the outcome and this time australia has learned a lesson so be careful next time.
I find Tony graig neutral in this discussion obviously this is a gantlemen game and australia is lacking this factor from the begining.
In short what ever has done is done for the goodwill of cricket and now i believe the dignity has been restored.

Tony Greig should be sent back to South Africa… We don’t want or need him here anyway. Especially as he is the biggest racist on the planet!

Oh I just love the Aussies. The great majority, by expressing their indignation so emphatically, have absolved the sins of their team. Now let us look forward to some engaging, fiercely but fairly contested matches, played with grace and respect for the players of the other side.

Why is what Symonds’s said irrelevant? And how do you know it is so seriously unlikely? Don’t just talk stupid you moron! Both sides should be investigated.
People like you cause these problems.

And why exactly is it seriously unlikely as to be laughable that Symonds cannot have called Harbajan something which would be defined as racist?

What Symonds said is irrelevant. Unless Tony Greig is suggesting that Andrew said something racist first - which is so seriously unlikely as to be laughable. If not, then the issue is purely about what Harbhajan said to Roy - end of story.

In any case, I think Tony Greig should be keeping well away from this controversy given his own very public and recent problems with racist attitudes towards black people and chinese women. He’s hardly in a position to comment.
