It%u2019s a shame and pity that the gentlemen game has turned into an ugly game of slurs, sledging and now it%u2019s reached to a level where the game is played without willow and ball. Australians pioneered it and now the Asian countries have started. On the other hand ICC has been always biased and ignored the behavior of Ausies while the Asian players were always penalized for smaller issues. Also to blame are some of the biased umpires like Steve Bucknor who didnt called the trouble makers like Andrew Symonds who started the slur. I think its right time to take up this topic and stop this nuisance and if ICC is incapable to see this biasness then the media should take this opportunity to remind and open the conscience of ICC. Else take them to court or create a new ICC
Former England captain Tony Greig claimed the Australians were guilty of employing double standards.
"No one can tell me that there is not a bit of verbal going in the direction of the Indians from the Australians and every now and then in the heat of the moment something comes back the other way," said Greig.
"It seems to me, I don't want to be too nasty about it but the Australians find it a bit difficult to deal with some of these issues when the going is a bit tough."

The Brits know the double standards that are followed by ICC in ignoring the unacceptable behaviour of Australians criketers who have a worst habit of slurs and abusive and foul language and i think that Ricky is a crying baby who has made a habit of playing cricket off the field more than on the field.

The is a case of Aussie cry-babies acting too precious for anyone to say anything against them.
They can sledge, belittle religion/turban, joke, do whatever but lord behold someone gives it back to them. Then they run like 4 year olds- "mommy mommy mommy".
Absolutely right.We remember how generous was BCCI when Ponting misbehaved openly with Mr. Sharad Pawar which was seen by the whole world. ICC was sleeping then!!!! Because they are WHITE !!!! But still we must pray that Team India should beat this ugly Ponting's team on the field. CHALK DE INDIA.

Guys this is the mind game Aus play, They want media and public to forget that they got to a score of 463 with 3 Blunders to Symonds and one to that little bast..d Ponting, he has no right to speak at all. India on the other hand should file charges againest that fellow if Bajji is proven innocent, we must file charges on him for distracting our focus and abusing a persons self. By the way Aus already lost the mathc they would have been out for 200 in first innings and India would have been with a lead of 300 with one more day...finally REDIFF, THINK TWISE BEFORE YOU WRITE SOMETHING. HURBUJAN WILL NOT ESCAPE PUNISHMENT, HE WILL BE PROVED INNOCENT. JUST BECAUSE SOME DONKEY ON THE STREET SAYS YOU ARE ASS WHOLE YOU ARE NOT.
Harbhajan will not need to "escape", unless you have determined that the offence was committed but no evidence was available. Here the offence is yet to be proved. I would prefer to say Harbhajan would be exonerated, rather than that he would escape. Ponting might actual escape with his tantrums. I am interesting in seeing what the reaction to M. Clarke's stubborn 30 sec stint after cutting the ball to slip would be. We have a media manager who steems to reactive than proactive. A statement on Clarke's lack of sportsmanship would have been aggressive and befitting. Alas, a simple sport has turned into gamesmanship thanks to Australia. Part of the modern day motto....."Anything goes as long as you win" and " Anything goes to win". To think that Bhajji actually belongs to a religious minority in India and must have been taunted many a time since childhood. By the Way....Is turbinator racist????...just checking

Well said! Harbhajan did nothing wrong. If anything Aussies will 'escape' from being penalized for trying to defame the Indian cricket team and Indians.
there is no racial abuse..the aussies want to diver the attention and especially shows how symonds wants to turn the attention of the media from his true unsportsmanship . It not because symonds is shown the monkey face for his looks..but by the way he behaves
Aussie captain Ricky Ponting lost his cool because i) Harbhajan batted better than Ponting has done in this series. ii) Ponting wanted the record but now they cannot get it. courtesy Harbhajan. iii) India are the only team that can stop the Aussies. They have always done that. iv) Ponting does not have any sportsman spirit. At least he could learn something from Gilchrist.
P.S He has not included Gilchrist in the panel to represent the Australian team, because he knows that Gilly will tell the truth and Ponting will be embarrassed. Although Gilly has been the vice captain for many years and also is the 2nd most senior player of the team.
Also Gilly is the captain who defeated India in India, and not Ponting.
Now that is some real Ponting for the people to see.
And please note that nobody even Symonds complained on what happened. Ponting has really been disturbed by the fact that India were in a better position to win this match,and is now trying to play the game he is best at today. "Disturb the Match".

I am 100% agree with you. In india when once Murli Karthik has edged the ball he said he must should have left the crease. But I know in world cup semi final when Gilli was walked before given out by umpire he criticiesd by Ponting. And now he is mum on Symonds case.
