Mr. Paniker has given a fitting reply to those who indulge in India-bashing. It is for the world to see the gross injustce that India faced in the Sydney Test. For a moment, to me it seemed the umpires were hand-in-gove with the Australians...wanting to give them that goddamn 16th-Test-win-on-the-trot record. The way the Aussies went about it would make a con artist look amateur. And when they couldn't succeed, they went after Harbajan Singh. As the situation stands, India the country, all us Indians, the body we so fondly refer to as BCCI and the players should stand up for Harbajan and back him to the hilt. Nothing less than an unconditional apology from Cricket Australia and a revoke of the ban will do...or should be accepted. As for the Aussie captain...HE SHOULD BE SACKED...for bringing the game of cricket into disrepute. I rest my case!!
