Brillinatly argued! Well who is this Craddock guy whom you take so seriously? More than blog can you send your piece to the publishers ofcraddock as counterppoint? If it gets published at least readers in Australia will know what is right and wrong, at least from others viewpoint. By the way Mike Proctors words are very fine indeed & does understand Racial discrimination as he has been party to the evil Apartheid for so long being a white south african! What he does not understand is what is racial context and waht has simple derogatory context. ICC's stamping out racism is ensuring whites do not dominate and use their implied or actual whiteskin superiority. I do not think we brown skins come anywhere near that connotation- re actual racism that is practiced even today in Australia. In the English context, Monkey-Business is doing something mischiveous & irritating and definitely not refering to one's skin colour or origin from the monkey route. Well, fact is Darwin did propose and which is universally accepted fact is, in some ways monkeys and humans had common ancestors( at least!) somewhere in early evolutionary history. Ponting should be repored by BCCI & Indian players to Mike Proctor, by lying to Umpire Benson that the catch of Ganguly was clean, and sould be banned as per ICC level 3 offense, at least for 3-5 games as Mike Proctor the graet himself judged and punsied Rashid latif, setting a clar precedence.
