What racial abuse is Ponting talking about? Just making monkey faces or hissing sounds made from the gallery amount to racial abuse? I am disppointed at our media's behaviour. Instead of supporting the Indian spectators, it is singing the Australian tune. Chris Broad has no business to send a report to ICC about racial abuse without verifying the facts.

i agree, i am totally against racism but i dont understand how making monkey voices amounts to racism. that may not be decent but cant be racism.

What has happened actually is they wanted throw us off gear when they landed here with Ponting and Symonds criticising Indian celebrations. (In fact we didn't celebrate much. It was just for a day.) Now they did not expect it to boomerang on them with Indian firebrands like Sresanth & Uthappa reacting to them. They are not used to this and are unable to handle it & I think that is the reason they are running like headless chicken.

Nothing will happen...itna tension kyon le raha hai?? Chill......
At most, the ICC will coime out with a stern warning and a steep fine for poor crowd behaviour...the BCCI will have to pay a hefty fine....and that will be that!! End of the matter!!

Again...."which school did you go to??" and not "which school you go to??".............
Symonds was teased for having a hair cut like a monkey and not because he is from whatever race he actually is. Racism is one word which gets attention and so they r using it, they better stfu
