Can anyone of you who has written in length condemning the crowd's act in Mumbai and relating it to racism, please let us know what is the relevance racism here? Where the hell does the color come into the picture here? If that was the case then we should have seen crowds booing Kenyan, Zim, WI ian players ??? Even though we may not like consistent performers of other countries against our team, but at the end of the day we used to applaud them. There are players for whom we have respect, like Lee,Kallis,Pollock,Akhtar,Sarwan,Bond,Gibbs,Andy flower to name a few. Unless and until any player tries to get smart with Indian public, showing disrespect / no respect to the crowd - its then the things starts to turn. And thats exactly what happening with some Aus players. I admit, they are great players and a tough team - but it doesnt give them the license to do and say whatever they want. Its only symonds,hayden and ponting who started off the war of words in the series. Even before the series started they had targeted Sreesanth and were trying to instigate him in ever-possible opportunity on of off the field. There were not even a single press conf where they hadnt told anything against him for the 1st 10 days of their tour here.
