The mnain culprit here is Proctor here, lets not forget that. Aussies have behaved disgracefully before but it is the racial slur that is the cause of everything. Steve Bucknor is an illustrious umpire who made unforgivable mistakes due to his advanced age and was correctly replaced. But its Proctor's role that is suspect in the whole issue. The basis on which Bhajji was found guilty was flimsy. The ICC should scrutinize Proctor's actions

Lets no get the inocent family members in this. it;s against our culture. But yer Mr. Procter owes everyone a explanation on this double standards with respect to Latif and Ponting. He had said that he knew all along what racism means . Now we know how he practises Racism
the cricketing world should unite and pressure the CA to sack ricky for making the aussie team arrogant, abusive (remember how they behaved with Mr Pawar)aussies are always aggressive but this is not aggressive this is absurd....
Circumstances and occurences are more than enough to believe that the match was fixed by Pointing with Umpires (First, Second and Third), Match Referee and Match Proctor. Otherwise, how all wrong umpiring decisions (by first, second and third umpires) go only against India??? I strongly feel that ICC should take initiatives to view these happenings from MATCH FIXING angle and not mere wrong umpiring decisio angle or racism complaint angle.

I agree totally with you, and the party to this could also be the two umpires...

Mr.Prince, i agree Aussies r a better side but dont forget the fact that it was the Indians who put an end to their winning streak last time & if there is any team that can threaten Aus, its only India & no others.

You are more than the match proctor and Tendulkar. You say as such you have heard loudly Bajji calling Symonds as 'Monkey'. Please do not behave in such a fashion. First correct yourself.
Indians, who can't even win properly with Australia are using the Sydney match as an excuse to demand that Ponting quit. The real reason why they want Ricky to go away is because they are afraid of Ricky whose team regularly gives Team India a sound thrashing.

india is strong team which can counter asustralia , don;t be harsh using such words. I suggest you to see the game again ,and go back see old matches which were played in australia ,where indian team got few crucial wrong decisions and behaviour of oz players
Let us see whether the team will walk when they edge the ball or will wait for the team man to give them not out. Being the best team then why r they afraid to walk.
History Repeats Itself The cricketing society world over is witnessing a raw of the greatest magnitude of history. We are still in a world where cricketers from different origins are treated differently by the umpires and referees. Australian player5s have habitually been abusing and sledging their opponents on the ground for decades together. But match referees have been happily approving of the misbehavior for decades together. On the other hand whenever such abusive behavior has been protested by the players of Asian origin match referees have taken serious note of it and punished them. Excessive appealing by Asian players and not by players of other origins has been treated as offence against godly umpires. Ridiculously enough the gross misbehavior on field by Australian players has been termed as %u201Cmental disintegration%u201D and %u201Coffensive cricket%u201D. Cricket field should not be a play ground for mentally disintegrated (unbalanced) players and cricket. Whether offensive or defensive has to be played only with bat and ball and not in abusive words. As long as the so called %u201Cmind game%u201D is translated into the game of bat and ball it is cricketing skill and as soon as the so called %u201Cmind game%u201D is translated into verbal skills on the ground it is misbehavior and unbecoming as on international cricketer representing a nation. Players on the opposite side have been facing it and tolerating such misbehavior for decades together. But surprisin
Australian players ad nauseum repetition that they play hard and uncompromising shows up for what they are. Do they mean that other teams play soft and compromising. Games are for matching skills.If U R skillful U do not need to be hard and uncompromising. U can only be hard and uncompromising if you have CONSTIPATION. In that case we can send a truck load of Jamal Ghota to ease thier Hard and uncompromising situation Cheers

Dear Willowtalk, simple,... the same way England sent the prisoners to Australia loaded in ships... so that they can rot there (in the ship and on land) and the remaining will reach Australia for consumption... :-)
