Navraj

Harbhajan didn't say Baandar - he actually said Monkey in English to Symonds. As admitted by the author of the head article, we now know for a fact that Harbhajan did this during the ODI series and Symonds took him aside and said it was a serious insult and that it shouldn't be repeated.

Navraj, I am an Australian-born mallu with a keen interest in law and an even keener interest in cricket!

Just when Bhajji is confirming Ponting's status as his "bunny" comes this ! Unheard , unsupported !
And also: how is it that such controversial decsions - the grey ones - in Australia ALWAYS go AGAINST the touring team !?

Killing two birds with the one stone, mmspm, not too sure what you're on about with Catholic missionaries, but I can say that I'm apparently a reasonably proficient lawyer!

More importantly, you should read my response to this matter earlier. But for ease of reference, I'll repeat it:

1. Get your facts straight. Hogg allegedly said "I'm looking forward to running through you b......"
2. It has been proven that Harbhajan called Symonds a monkey in India, that Symonds spoke to him and said it was the worst possible insult to him and that it could not be repeated (which Harbhajan agreed to).
3. If you can prove that Hogg was taken aside by an Indian, told that it is the worst possible insult to an Indian and that it cannot be repeated and that Hogg agreed but still said it, suspend him for 3 matches as well.
4. Given that didn't happen and the fact that b...... is a term of endearment in Australian slang, mmspm, you don't have a leg to stand on I'm afraid.

Cheers
Michael

Ok Mister Michael given that b---- is a term of endearment in australian slang i also put forward this argument that calling somebody Baandar (Monkey) is a way to shower your love for the beloved naughty boy in Punjabi which is the mother toungue of Harbhajan Singh HE is Not guilty and every indian who knows punjabi can raise his voice in my support.
Now Explain Mr. Michael.
Whats your Take on this. And mind you i am not a lawyer by profession.
Bye
