PLEASE COVER YOUR FACE WITH POSTERS OF 6, 4 and BOO DURING 20-20 MATCH TO CHARGE SYMONDS. IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE BEST OUT OF HIM.
THE REASON BEING:
An Australian photographer captured the second bout of racial taunts to be directed at Symonds by spectators in Mumbai.Security officials at the ground met with Australian team officials and witnesses of the offensive behaviour to pinpoint the perpetrators in the crowd.

In the previous match he told that the crowd comments charged him up and he made a century, thats why the cricket loving people of mumbai was trying to charge him up to see the best from him....
One of friends wrote in this column regarding Symonds response to questions put by Rameez Raja.The answers from Symonds were so cold from a players of his calibre and talent. ICC should take note of this and also the taunts the Indians and Sri Lankan players have to face during their visit to Australia. Iam really surprised at the behaviour of ICC officials not to reprimand and suspand a few of the Australian players so that learn on field as well as off field behaviour. Australians think that they are the boss. Let me say that the times have changed and the Australians will have to face this or else have to come in line with the mannarism including IAN CHAPPLE, the elder brother of Greg Chapple who tried his best to destroy the INDIAN Cricket. Where was Mr. Ponting when Monty Panesar, the born Indian, was being continuously taunted during Englands last visit to Australia. Ponting should be taken to the Discplinary committee room and taught in a rightful manner. Whenever a boundary was hit by the Indian players in the Future Cup, most of the Australians threw the remarks on the Indian batsmen. Chris Broad should take note of this while submitting his report to ICC. Keep up India and hit boudaries allround the wickets to counter this taunt behaviour of the Australians.

I fully agree with your views. Why should the asian teams feel lower to any other white skinned country players in cricket. It is not the taunting alone, even the umpires are scared of these teams. Look at umpiring decison in many recent mathces between india or any other asian team with england / australia / south africa / newzealand. The number of faults they find with asian player in uncomparable to their observation of asian players. Even a small issue of declaring a ball going down the leg side in one day internationals cannot be called a wide inspite of clear replays showing the nature and direction of the ball.
What can BCCI or PCb or SCB do when we do not have unity among our countries. Inspite of being the countries that draw maximumcrowds for these matches we do not have the guts to put our foot down and ask the ICC to go to dogs in such instances.
I think everyone is missing the point, just because someone may have been on the receiving end of racial comments doesn't make it right to now become a racist yourself! It's like the old saying "two wrongs don't make a right". Don't let a small minority of idiots on both sides make the game we all love become guly.

Symonds will face the 'abuse' every where in the world...probably except australia!!!!! He and his dear captain started everything before the series ...so they have to face..even when India goes to australia, they have also the same situation...
I agree with aussies that racism has no place in cricket, but i still remember that banner in the australia when India was playing against pakistan in the final of Benson and Hedges trophy sunny was Indian captain and ravi won Man of the match with "Oddy" car. Language of the banner was Final between "Taxi Drivers - Bus Conductors" Now what was that send your comments.

RIGHTLY SAID THIS WHITE SKINNED MONKEYS WANT TO TAUNT THE WORLD AND WHEN IT COMES TO THEM IT HURTS SAME IN SLEDGING ALSO ANY WAY YOU AUSSI MONKEYS TAKE IT SPORTINGLY ITS YOUR OWN POTION
Symonds has a very typical hair style which in no way makes him attractive.His hair style may be his own choice bt it gives him a very akward appearnace. The crowd behaviour is targeted on his beast look like with that hair style and he must be ready for that.Even Tennis players(ladies) wears such clothes which reveals much more than they hide and spectators enjoy both game as well as their looks and Iam sur sum indecent and decent comments are also passed by the spectators. So Symonds must be ready to face indecent comment because with his hair style he looks quite ancient.

Well said, pal. But be careful with your words. Now hopefully Australians will behave and not resort to sledging, as they well know that is backfiring, and that too very badly. Yesterday's Zaheer Khan's reply was a treat to watch.
What is this guy Symonds cribbing about? No one has tried to insult him because of his race or origin. If he had ignored it at Vadodara it would have simply passed off. Now whereever he goes in the subcontinent, he is going to be greeted with monkey noises. Anyways, all australian newspapers declared that he did the talking with his bat after his Nagpur century. Now the Indians have replied him with the ball first ball zero. Precious little child Symonds grow up and enjoy your games in India.
