There was a report on Sports in Australia named "What is the count?" which says that racist abuse and sledging is the biggest barrier in Australian sports which prevents immigrants and people of other origin to take up sports seriously. The report also indicates the australian teams (not just Cricket) is not a good representation of the entire australian population. So next time this kangaro's talk about racism get them a copy of the Report.

Yes, I agree, there cannot be any unruly justification for racial abuse against Players in and out of the field. Before talking about any reports lets first remove the dirt from our own collars and adept ourselves in the game of Cricket

While what you say may be true, it cannot be seen as a justification for the racist taunts that took place on Indian grounds. Is it an acceptable justification that "We are racists because they (Australians) are racists too".
Lets stop, think amd make decisions for ourselves on what is good and what is bad and stop following others.

Please keep your filthy racist ideas home before discussing sport. For your information its is not India that is the biggest victim of sledging but England, for they face the worst time in Australia. Also sledging is not about racism.
Why get all your pent up anger and frustration about whites and other races to the cricket field? Oh, by the way, the person who was subjected to the racist taunts - Symonds is not white guy, so why was he taunted?
I don't understand when australians are getting dose of their own medicine why such powerful authority comes in to the actions and try prevent such activity. What happen to them when Murali was called chucker on australian tour a couple of years back. I have proof that symonds had started all this things and he tried to annoyed spectators at Baroda. I have pics of those where he shown bad gestures (monkey type scratching, jumping etc.) to the spectators. If i represent that pics to ICC, will ICC put a banned against them.

abe gel sappe samaj me nahi aata hai to kyu bolata hai, chup beth na. hare to gali samje ye to ab jite to bhi gali? tumhare jaise log se hi problem hota hai.
What is baffling is Infdian medias eagerness to apint the issue as abuse and racial .One can see in all games and sports and other entertainment mediums like films and drams...the entertaining stars ans actors do get boos ,geers and other so called abuse as they get claps and cheers as per the situation. What Symonds got viz.,monkey facesa nd monkey chants are certainly can not be clubbed with racial behaviour or not qualified as abuse in real terms.It is all in game. More disturbing factor is some Indians claiming that the Aussies deserve the so called crime of abiuse/raical slur.When we have niot commited any criume why brand our selves criminals?.
I read all the shit on tis page and i hate to say that my countrymen are all nincompoops wid less or no brains!! Come on ppl, if Oz r abusive on field, u need not make it fire to fire sitution.. Vengeance is often unnecessary. Let BCCI take charge of watever taboo language they use on the field. Y make their task more difficult?? Cricket or any other game shud b played in the right spirit in which it shud b played. We as spectators must watch it in the right spirit too!! Why jeer at the opponent teams and make monkey sounds, which is undoubtly making u a monkey.. But then, y my countrymen would ever wanna hear their critisium??

I agree with you Dhoni and Yuvraj should take the responsiblility for the 6th match where we lost it by 18 runs! Yuvraj must be enjoying the crores he got of 20:20, but remember, that doesn't last long if you don't play consistantly...
