I think Bucknor took it upon himself to teach India a lesson after all the controversies associated with (fellow West Indian?) Symonds during the Australian tour of India. Other than that I just cannot think of any other explanation for Bucknor's blatantly wrong decisions in favour of Symonds. | |

For one the indian fans behavior was disgusting when australia were visiting here. We can claim that monkey is a god here and all that. But still that cannot be justification for what the crowd meted out to symonds. It was pathetic. And it was/is a shameful behavior. Again don't try to give justification on how australians behave.... Second even in this forum we were/are trying justify this monkey taunt. Lets just stop this please. In my opinion this whole abuse thing between india and australia stands at an 1:1 tie at this point. We took a rather crude and immature approach. The australians have given it back now, in a rather organized and highly diplomatic way. Lets see to whom the round three goes too... | |

Second, You(we, bcci, team india management) should have dealt(not by shouting monkey taunts...) with it then and there strongly. (I assume here that an aussie palyer talked some thing badly about indian players wife). | |

| ![]() there is no doubt that tour needs to be called off. No self-respecting person will play in this situation. ONly way this tour can continue is if the following happen: 1. SCG match is expunged. 2. Aussies apologise for excessive appealing and leveling false charges against Bhajji. 3. More mics are placed in the field to listen to every word that will be said on the field. 4. Mike Procter, third umpire and Bucknor/Benson are removed from the remainder of the tour (tests and VB series). ICC should overturn the ban on Bhajji and apologise for this farce hearing. 5. Going forward, every wrong decision can be overturned by third umpire, match referee. But i doubt pawar will do anything because he is set to become next icc chief and wouldnt want to antagonize aus-eng-nz-WI camp. Also about bucknor - i think that he wants to settle down in australia instead of impoverished crime-ridden carribean and might get a hefty bonus from Cricket Australia when he does that. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() @ gkrishn - I am not justifying anything. On the field of play there are a lot of things said (about wives and mothers and fathers) that are way way uglier than calling anyone a "monkey". And it is a proven fact that the Aussies cannot take it when anyone pays them back in the same coin. And no we are not getting carried away. The umpires cheated , the Aussie captain cheated , his players cheated and you say - we are getting carried away ? Heck even the Match Referee cheated in this case - he thought Sachin was lying and Clarke and Hayden were saying the truth ? In fact even Ian Chappell had commented that he likes Hayden and Symonds but if it was world peace at stake - he would want these 2 far far away. Brad Hogg called the Indian batsmen - "*******s" - thats not racist ? I would still want Anil Kumble and his team to walk out of that country now. BCCI and ICC can sort it out when they want. I would not want to play in and against Australia anymore. I think as the strongest cricket playing country - if we do not show our strength now - when will we ? If India gets banned - no one will watch cricket. Lets use that weapon. |

| ![]() Bajji should've explained that even if Symonds was actually called a monkey, it wasnt abuse but reverence. People in this country worship and adore the monkey god Hanuman. Actually we're insulting monkeys by using the term to refer to Symonds. |

What did the team management do about it? What did the bcci do about it? Did they react to that in any manner? If they didn't, then its our issue in not dealing with them properly. Quote:

1. Matches have been annuled/expunged in the past. 2. By placing more mics, we will atleast cover more ground. Right now there are 2 stump mics only. adding more mics is better than nothing. 3. ICC, Aussie apology - This is a race hearing and in many countries (including ours) you can be jailed for racial abuse. So if i were Bhajji i would have already called my lawyers. Either ICC/Aussies/Match refree prove or apologize for this, else i would be filing a defamation and mental agony claim. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() In my opinion Symonds took vengence for what happened to him in India. Thats about it. It seems India are going to complain about Hogg using non acceptable language in this series. Again, no proof. So if they can slap a 3 match ban against bhajji then they sure can slap 2-3 on the Aussie spinner as well. If they can give a verdit without proof, then it would be interesting to see how they handle Hogg's case w/o proof that is. Today morning in the news channels they showed a clip of some test match in India (vs Aus) where Dravid was caught square of the wicket on the 'on' side by Slater. The Umpire (Venkatragavan) was not convinced that it was cleanly taken. Decision : Not out . The reaction Slater gave was unbelievable. He fought with the Umpire throwing his arms in the air whilst arging with the him. What he does next is more shocking. He goes upto Dravid and starts arguing with him very very close to his face, in his face. A lil closer, and they might have kissed through the helmet grill. I was very very disgusted and left me angry. I don't know whether he was fined or not. Does anyone ? I sincerely hope Dravid wasn't fined for listening to Slater. ![]() I think, if it weren't for the 'Spirit' of the game and the financial commitments/losses, India should have walked out of the series, like Sri Lanka did. |

They did nothing - because they knew it was all in the heat of the moment and these things have happened earlier too. (other teams also do it) BCCI did not react because the batsmen did not think it was such a big issue, after all it was in the heat of the game, so they did not go crying to the umpires, match referees, team management and the BCCI (like the Aussies did). Still we are at fault ? The Indian management at the Bhajji hearing - complained about tHogg to the match referee - and it was promptly decided to have a hearing in Perth - that is after 10 days - why ? because this Bhajji case would die down by then.......if thats not racist - then what is ? Why wasn't this case taken up today itself ? | |
