BCCI, Kumble, Tendulkar and the entire Indian team firmly stood behind Bhajji during the racial abuse episode in Australia. Tendulkar's statement and BCCI's arm twisting resulted in Bhajji getting off with a light penalty, EVEN THOUGH BHAJJI WAS NOT FULLY INNOCENT! Although the abuse hurled by Bhajji was not a racial one, the words he used were extremely derogatory. Bhajji was lucky in that case. But he continued his bad ways and there are crazy people on this forum who expect BCCI or Tendulkar to stand by him again even when he has done something so obviously wrong!

One is the incident happened in Australia where 11 Aussie guys used sledging and Bhajji replied with his derogatory marks, which was offensive and not racial. And the BCCI stood by them with Kumle and Sachin supporting Bhajji in the moment where India lost a match because of poor umpiring and high handed behaviour of Aussies. In the present case, Sresanth said "Hard Luck" to Bhajji while handshaking. In real terms saying "Hard Luck" is neither racial nor derogatory, nor offensive in any manner if the expression showed by Sreesanth would have been sympathy. If Sreesanth using a wicked smile and telling Bhajji "Hard Luck" would have certainly put Bhajji on dock this guy lost his cool and punched. In fact Bhajji should not have done this and paying the heavy price. What Kumble means here is to manage guys like Bhajji who has been paid heavy price tag.

Sreesanth has so far not got into big time controversies but will, sooner or later. He is childish and immature and whenever he tries to do stunts, he invariably ends up making an ass of himself.
