I think you should all know that any opinion even slightly differing from the article is being deleted, well they are from me and others. When all I've done is politely pointed out a few important facts missing from the argument.
This site obviously doesn't feel it acceptable to display any other opinion other than their own. And seems to be the way all media outlets are heading unfortunately.

more over, yu applaud a certain gentleman for pulling up the case of symonds being abused by crowd and he said that was wrong. well, everyone feels the same about it. that section of the crowd has some bad behaviour and that was universally rejected by all the newspapers. it was covered in the front page.
now the case of bhajji - he is being held responsible for a comment he did not make. he was banned for lack of video/ audio evidence. and the worst of the lot, when sachin's the only person who's heard it - his evidence was rejected.

From what I understand the users report it, then the site takes it down it they see fit, but I'm open to corrected on this one.
But I'm disappointed that a fair percentage of people don't want to see the whole story and are deleted anyone who points that out.
Were the Australian cricket team good sports in this game? No not really. Did the break the rules? Except maybe by Hogg, no. That apart from a few missing facts about who heard the word monkey used. was my only point.
If the way the Australian cricket team played wasn't to a standard we feel acceptable, I'm all for changing the rules.
But the independent person in charge of the match felt Harbhajan did. How is that the Australian's fault or doing? For reporting something they feel unacceptable.
And just because the Australian cricket team are no angels, does that make Harbhajan innocent?
I feel it's a case were both are wrong, but one broke the rules, and the facts of that seem to be missing from most articles and comments.

prove me harbhajan is wrong.
yes, the site does take it down when its libelous or a troll or an inflamatory message too much like a spam. the aussie team were good with cricket, but cheap with spirit. its unpardonable to launch a tirade by the captain when he in fact grassed it. same with clarke. there's enough evidence to show they weren't in control, and yet they stay cocky and defiant. everyone knows who's into sledging, who started it all. now every other team does it. when sreesanth does it the aussie team is livid. same with bhajji.
bottomline is indians have never liked the way australians behaved. nor des any other country in the world.

Prove to me he's not.... That's my point, none of us know for sure either way, and so many claim to 'know' he's innocent.
All I wanted to do was point out was that he's done it before, was asked not to do it again, and now Symonds and 2 others believe he did it again.
Besides there was only 1 person this needed to be proved too, and he believed it was. And he's a South African.

Innocent until proven guilty - Harbhajan is innocent because there is no proof that he said anything

also, check this: Rashid Latif was banned for claiming a catch which was actually grassed. Here Ponting appealed for Dhoni's catch after not only grassing it but also balancing himself with the help of ball touching the ground. A ban for five matches is consistant with Latif?
