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.

contd..
Its an open secret that Harbhajjan had to face their tongue music, a dirty one as he had acknowledged. So when a Sree or Bhajji reacts then it becomes an issue and even Indian media doesnt give them the support. As far as they[indian media] are concerned they are more interested in knowing what Aus media reports after each incident. I wonder why Indian media cant have a stand of their own and have an identity.
As for monkey gestures and booing are concerned - you have to blam only symonds to giving it the color of racism. how come it be a racist abuse, if you pose a monkey gesture or if you boo someone. By the way by no means I'm defending it. But the matter of the fact is symonds only invited these things by his on & off field behavior. And he has got a captain who will just add fuel to the fire.
One shameful thing which I heard on NDTV last night was when a reporter was talking on the comment made by M Kartik that he had infact nicked the ball. Reporter was more worried about how Aus media and players are going to take it ! I can only say to our media- pls grow up !

When I watch cricket that's in India and the camera shows the crowd I often think they look like monkeys. Hairy, dirty little children wearing loincloth clothes climbing trees and abandoned buildings to get a look at the stadium. They look exactly like a pack of monkeys, yet when I say it my girlfriend says I'm racist! It's stupid

What makes you think I don't understand the uneducated and ignorant perceptions of these boards? Come on, out with it, so I may rip apart whatever misguided penal colonial point you wish to make. Or just keep climbing trees if you wish.
