If Harbhajan used a racial epithet against Symbonds, I am perfectly ok with him getting banned, no if's/but's about it
If it was unconclusive he should have been let go
The defense of Harbhajan for using a racial word is surprising on Indians, Afterall dont we cry of racial abuse at everything that goes against us at the hand of a White man?

Now this is the limit, ek to Umpiring ekdam bakwaas...in favour of home team. I say, call off the series. Aussies/ICC can go to hell, time to leverage our financial strength. If Bhajji is guilty and can be punished, then the entire Aussie team should be banned for 100 tests, everyone knows how they keep sledging and swearing at opponents. No, but ICC won't do take any action against them...thats the way Aussie play they say. I say my foot, apply the same standards for everyone. Did anyone ban McGrath for swearing at Sarwan?
swearing is one, sledging is another
and racial abuse is totally different my friend, are you suggesting we use our financial strength to justify racial abuse, hmmm interesting, werent we calling the British bad for that

I saw on TV someone mentioning that Bhajji called him "Monkey"..is that racial abuse? I mean f**k/mo***rf***er/B*****d (pet words of goras) etc not considered offensive but "Monkey" is.
BTW, ICC should come out and tell exactly what Bhajji said which has been considered racial.
Calling a Black man a monkey is racial epithet, basically Blacks are termed as having close lineage to monkey b'cos of their looks and color and it is accepted as a racial epithet in the black world

Funny if you watch the replays, you will realize Aussies had 13 players on the field, one in the booth and their Captain had umpiring overrule too
yeah when you play with 11 players against that kind of opponent you lose

I swear man Aussie team is full of hypocrisy! Listen to this..McGrath called SL player Jayasuriya almost exactly the same words as he called him a 'black monkey'!
If Mcgrath said it means it was ok for us to do the same thing, everyone seems to be swimming in the same guitar, so let us stop trying to call ourselves morally highπ

My friend you should try saying that to a Black man upclose, you will know how a man can fly without wings π

Looks like Aussies always have problem when playing with India. Is it because India is the only team which gives them back in the same coin?
South Africa was banned from cricket for backing apairtheid, you want India to also be bannedπ
FYI Symonds is AUSTRALIAN BLACK
