A more detailed account on what actually happened that day -

Just goes to show how ill-prepared the Indian team and management is in dealing with these kinds of issues.

BL touched upon this earlier.

We have to catch-up to the fact that cricket is no longer a mere "gentleman's game" where batting and bowling skills decide everything.

It has become no less than corporate politics.

Just look at how these morons are reporting on Harbhajan now...what a bunch of clowns. Although these guys are stupid, they're nothing like our nincompoops in BCCI though.

I wouldn't be surprised if this Peter Lalor guy got arrested for smoking too much pot above the legal kangaroo limit...he's about as biased and irrelevant as someone can get.

Good article by Kumble below, he's obviously a very mature guy. Ponting seems stuck in grade six. And man oh man should we go after this joker Michael Clarke, I really hope the Indian media can dig up some goods on this idiot and the team can target him in the remainder games.

He's supposed to be the next Ponting and I can see why....

What a bunch of wussies.

In the end, politics and monetary greed win the day, under the guise of "friendly relations" and "spirit of the sport".
