Funny world. Call a person a monkey and it is a big hulla gulla. But abuse his mother and it is just a small fine.

BCCI councel VR Manohar started with Symonds asking: What did Harbhajan call you?
"A big monkey," Symonds replied. "He kept repeating monkey, monkey, big monkey.
Manohar: What were the exact words?
Symonds: I don't remember.
Manohar to Hayden: Did you hear Harbhajan call Symonds a big monkey?
Hayden: I didn't hear him, but I heard Symonds say "Did you call me a monkey?" So I told Harbhajan "that's the second time you have said it. It's racial vilification."
CA legal team to Harbhajan: Did you call him a big monkey or make any racist comment?
Harbhajan: No, I did not (firm in his reply).
CA legal team: What exactly did you say?
Harbhajan: I admit that I abused him and said "Teri Maa Ki..."
Justice Hansen: What is the meaning of this slang?
Harbhajan: It means "Your mother's ****"
Justice Hansen: In that case it's a case of abuse but not racial abuse.
Three weeks of drama ended with Harbhajan's half a day's pay and a lot of sleepless nights.

I wonder how many teams will now go to match refree when this "Champion" team opens mouth again on field. Specially Team India.
If I was part of the Team then I would do (all kids stuff but still fun) -
* Talk/Whisper among each other and laugh out loud.
* Paint lips of all players White.
* If they abuse/sledge, challenge them to say same on stump mic.
* Keep them busy attending match refree's office.
* And just keep smiling all the way and be friendly with Brett Lee (Symonds does not like it

The truth is finally coming out ...... think the Aussues just wanted to intimidate Harbajan .... but the controversy grew on them . They never expected the Indian's to put their full weight behind this "racism "bussiness
Look at what Symonds is saying now ..........
"Symonds couldn't recall if he had heard Harbhajan use that particular Hindi abuse and accepted that it was a possibility. He also didn't find favour with the judge with his explanation for abusing Harbhajan after he had patted Brett Lee on the back side. Symonds said he had objected because "a Test match is no place to be friendly with an opposition player" but Hansen dismissed that explanation ("If that is his view I hope it is not one shared by all international cricketers"
.
Michael Clarke's account was critical, considering that it did not coincide favourably with the rest. "It is not without significance that the Australian players maintain other than Mr Symonds that they did not hear any other words spoken, only the ones that are said to be of significance to this hearing," Hansen said.
"This is a little surprising in the context where there was a reasonably prolonged heated exchange. Indeed Mr Clarke went so far as to say that he did not hear Mr Symonds say anything. Given Mr Symonds' own acceptance that he initiated the exchange and was abusive towards Mr Singh, that is surprising. This failure to identify any other words could be because some of what they were hearing was not in English."

Former Invincible Neil Harvey brands Australian cricketers "a pack of morons".
And here's his comment on Ponting. Power to you, sir, for calling a spade a spade.
Quote:
The former Test selector saved his hardest stroke for Ponting: "I think he's been a little bit weak about the way he's handled things. You need someone to set an example, and in my mind I don't think he's the right bloke to do it. This used to be a gentleman's game and I can't see why it should change."
It only took the "Aussie fury at decision" story a couple of minutes to die down. What fury?? They made this whole thing up; those clowns. Nobody heard anything except the monkey and his testimony on his own abuse is hardly credible.
Next step for BCCI? Go on a covert PR offensive and showcase how the Aussies played crybabies and made up the whole thing up to harass Harbhajan and the Indian team. This is their chance.

Are you there?
Here is another one -> http://www.cricketnext.com/news/simple-symonds-well-evidently-not-so/29309-13-single.html
Now where does this leave Proctor? Surely, he needs to be accountable. doesn't he? May be with both India and Pak (Oval test) at the receiving end, he will be another Mike Denness like case?
