How is a monkey chant akin to racial abuse is beyond my comprehension?.I was in the north stands and people were just having fun..They heckled every australian player and the ones near the boundary ropes bore the brunt..Now it's a well known fact that people who dont take banter lightly get the rough end of the stick..I dont think the taunts and the gestures had any racial overtones..It's just that he took offence to the treatment meted out and that is what's the ultimate aim of the fun loving spectators of the North stand..Why they'll even heckle some Indian players except Sachin, whom every cricket smart fan in Mumbai revers!!!! But it's all in good fun and the crowd generally is very decent and well educated..

So what ? If Australians come here and think they can tald what they want they will get this treatment. In a sports event of this magnitude takes in an open stadium such incidents are bound to happen. If they call it racism and can not bear it let them play only indoor games like squash.

Already symonds has given the signals to their uncultured descendets of former British criminals by telling that Indians will face the same treatment when they visit their country. So we are ready to face it..

Siva Kumar....don't expose your pathetic ignorance in this blog.... All the settlers were not Britishers with a criminal record.... I think you would do well to read the best seller written by John Mulvaney and Johan Kamminga....then you would have a better ide about this fantastic island and its people....
One of the most fascinating countries in the world...it is best not to pigeonhole all aussies into one bracket.... Queenslanders are as different from victorians as chalk from cheese..... Western Australians are the most soft spoken and courteous people....have you ever seen Damien Martyn sledging or abusing opponents??
New South welshman are generally fun loving chilled out people...the barn ranch kind of guys....
Victorians are slick, polished and stiff upper lip..........
Learn to appreciate these things too instead of mindlessly hating the aussies... There is a lot to learn from the Aussies!!

Ha ha Ashish.. You're all excited all of a sudden!!! he is just praising the Aussieland and It's a beautiful country. He did NOT say a word against india, unlike you.
You're only motive in your life is to talk trash about India. What a inferiority complex!!
It's just funny to see how Aussies are trying to make a big deal out of every little thing. The same Aussies who themselve are known for rasicm and crowd abuse.. :)

There is chanting everywhere. In Aus, Aussies chant against Warne ('s infidelity), they have booed POnting himself many times.
Booing and chanting is a part of every game. Aussies say chit-chatting is a part of every game and quote the example of soccer, rugby etc where they abuse each others mothers, sisters, fathers..... ....but they act "precious" when it comes to crowd chanting, in India.

Bhasmasur or whatever you are! I am not ignorant and I can not read all the books you have referred but I am happy that my comment has irked you. By saying that Damien Martyn is not sledging you agree that people from other region are sledgers.We condemn only those people: Being so knowledgeable How come you missed an important point at least Australians speak one language may be with different accents, But here we have lot many differences impovershed by the same whites for whom you are singing praising songs and you come and blame us that we are racists.Indians never thoght superior of themselves and enslaved any country or any race but have been victims because their forefathers taught them dharma and other non violence principles. You adore Australia we have no objection but do not compare us with them. But also remember that except aborigins rest all are settlers and British used that land for extraditing fearsome criminals..

Shiv Kumar, You don't really need to say sorry to Ashish. He is exactly at the opposite end of your nicely saummarized comments up here..
