Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
Good to see BCCI showing guts and some spine.
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
good. 2nd test match was a shame in terms of umpiring and australian teams sportsmanship. symonds was the most luckiest person in the 2nd test. 3 100% out decisions in his fav and then dravid's wkt in the 2nd innings. umpires gave australia the 2nd match. india is doing the right thing. they didn't go to australia only to lose the matches bcos of stupid umpiring where the likes of ponting is giving players out.
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
hey really? I dont see it on Cricinfo...
but it would be sad
I am not for it...
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour

what spine is that?
this was the same nonsense that BCCI pulled when Australia toured India and when racist Indians made Monkey noises
first denying the whole thing had ever happened and only shutting their yap when the videos surfaced showing the fans doing it
tsk tsk....
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
^Don't hate man. You have to admit India has every right to suspend tour and should do so.
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
One thing I really dont understand is why it is it racial, if somebody is called a monkey. Australians call others *******s. Is that OK
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
^^
thats because Andrew Symonds is black
and Harbijan only called Andrew Symonds a monkey
and there has long been the association of black people and monkeys
and thus it is racist
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
^He is as black as harbhajan.
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
^^ doesnt matter
most Sri Lankans are darker than most Africans but still they are considered Brown people and not black people
so it has become a categorization, that anyone who is of African descent is Black even though their skin tone may be lighter than others who are not considered black
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
I was only stating the fact. If there is evidence that he said these words he should be dealt with. I am no great fan of Mr. Singh. But to convict him by hearsay is stupid, when it is known already how much Ponting dislike his character.
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
and like it is with most of indian media, this turned out to be a false alarm as well…
the tour is on…

Proof please for your above claim. Go ahead and open another thread if you wish. And reuters and foxsports and a dozen other sites were also saying the same.

its all part of the game, even i do make noises when i see a Monkey in a zoo
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
If Harbhajan did utter a racist remark, then he deserves the ban. However, there should've been clear cut evidence, not just his word against the Aussies. Lacking any evidence, slapping on the ban is clearly unfair.
It's time BCCI did grow some balls and use their financial clout to get justice. I wonder why they haven't reported Ponting for trying to claim a catch after clearly grounding the ball. This is definitely against ICC rules, and Ponting should be banned for this.

Akram calls Aussies ‘cry babies’
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
I am really disappointed at Ponting and company’s unprofessional and unethical show in the second test. Also Upmires were blind and deaf in this high profile encounter.
But you can protest with ICC to demand competent umpires in the series, even if it means Taufel (Aussie) has to stand in the match. BCCI, please don’t try to copy Inzi, otherwise you will surpass Pakistan as the most hillarious and idiotic member board.
WE DON’T WANT TO LOSE THIS CROWN. 
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
Arey dont worry ppl tour will go on ultimately.pawar is a very shrewed politician.he of kinda spit and lick guy(although a strong man in maharastra).but he will get the players ready for rest of the tour.when there is huge money is involved on this tour then only a fool will think of canceling.let 2-3 days every thing in india will be excused and and forgotten.
these all scenes are something like increased brutal pace before the final ejaculation:D.
Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
Just out of curiosity, Why is Ponting targeted? I understand why Umpires are the target but what did Ponting do wrong? other than appealing for (most probably) a grounded catch??
