Shameless climb- down
by Jairam Amrith on Jan 13, 2008 02:40 PM

A few days ago there was talk of calling off the tour, now Pawar has said there is no chance at all of the tour being called off. Where is our self-respect as a nation ? We get trampled on by the whites (Ponting,Hayden,Clarke,Benson,Procter) and blacks alike ( Symonds,Bucknor)and take it lying down. let alone all the bad decisions and the disgusting behaviour of the Aussie players, the minute Harbhajan was convicted by Procter without any evidence whatsoever we should have cancelled the tour and lodged a protest with the ICC against all the culpable perties. Instead, because of the almighty dollar, Pawar, the BCCI and the establishment ( read ESPN/Star, big corporate advertisers etc and so many more)have all swept the matter under the carpet.
