Raj, as I said separately, surely the BCCI can lift the gag, order Sachin to speak and confirm his version of events. BUT NOTE:
If he says - I heard every word and monkey was never said, then Australians will be falling over themselves supporting the BCCI and assuming that the Australians misheard what was said.
But if he only says he didn't hear it said, then that's only going to keep us in the dark, because it may mean he didn't hear the whole conversation!
