What happened to Symonds was a SAD thing, but his actions and the way the Aussies have been this series where they being dishing out verbals and banter to the Indian Players, will naturally result in the Home crowd supporting its players!! All I am saying is when our team heads to Aussie be ready from some naming calling and racist chants! The Aussies are famous for it their supporters chanted racist solagns at the South Africans and Sri Lankans on previous tours. Suprising Ricky Ponting did not included in his statement how his Australian home crowd have also had racist problems!
IF you dish out, be prepared to get some back in return. I never seen any of the African players being chanted at or any Monkey imitiations then? SO why Symonds and Why the Aussies? All this Aggression hype and media fixation has caused certain impressionable Indian fans to get engrossed.

fans who can't control their emotions and do either racist chants or throw missiles should be debarred from the grounds period.

you may not see this 2002 as racism. But these things escalate steeply. Back in 2002 it was missiles thrown (racism was not documented publicly by media) in 2007 we see monkey chants. 5 years from now what else?
