imagine a scenario - next match, when the players are going to drinks. symonds is at it again. a "friendly banter". bhajji is at the drinks trolley alone surrounded by aussie team members and no cameras nearby. suddenly symonds starts shouting, and all the aussie team members run to the umpire and claim bhajjie has shouted at him and abused him racially.
now what stops the umpire from banning permanently, since there has been a precedence in just the previous match ? now, how will people ever know if this is the case in the first palce , thats this match ? since proctor only went by the australian version, much that he says he's trying to be fair and has heard in the indian side too, its totally unfair that he choses to listen to the australian side. thats the bone of contention. its an insult to sachin, since his testimony has been ignored.

but we do not KNOW exactly what evidence was given. As pointed out by others, transparency would be of benefit to all and I for one would like the transcripts of the hearing released.

sure, thats what im sore about proctor. there's zero transparency. thats why the indians are so sore for claiming to nail bhajji on hearsay.
