hearing will be more interesting than a test cricket match. Possibilities are numerous. Bhajji is lying and did call him a monkey, Symonds is lying and bhajji never called him a monkey, possibility of a misunderstanding as bhajji said something like 'teri maaki' to provocation by Symonds. Sachin has also put his reputation on line by saying Bhajji never said it, what if Bhajji said it? Hayden who reportedly heard Bhajji calling symonds a monkey has also put his reputation on line, or hold it it could be a preplanned strategy by Aussies to get rid of Bhajji since he is a pretty volatile guy and is easily riled. After seeing how strongly all the parties are adamant they are speaking the truth I am incline to believe it was a misunderstanding, anything else is a disaster for either Australian cricketers or Indian cricketers. I am keeping fingers crossed but I am sure of one thing if Bhajji lied he should be banned forever from Indian cricket team.

I am sure Bhajji said 'Bhain ki' which andrew symonds took it as monkey. Andrew felt it was monkey because while in India our people had passed the same remark on him and he must not know what Bhajji meant by 'Bhain ki' If Bhajji is smart enough and had called monkey then he can use this tactic that he called 'Bhain ki'. Every punjabi use this slang so often that they speak after every sentence. Especially when they are agitated

Understand the gravity of the its not the arrow which needs to be punished it the man behind the bow who is the cause of the arrow. The arrow hurt and probably left a mark! why did Pointing take this matter seriously and report it to the match refree? even after Kumble discused this issue with Pointing after the 3rd days play, 1. Andrew Simmions is Points best buddy ( he start to show in the Aussies after Pointing became captain) and Pointing wanted to get rid of Harbajan too; there is no doubt that some thing serious happend that is why the indians couldnt concentrate on the 4th day and let Aussies plunder runs in the 2 innings. to back up their own teams cause and reinforce respective teams put in the best people like Sachin and Hayden so the motive was there but why they did it is another story??
That is what is to be cleared; to compound to the problem the Indian has Bucknor in between who was doing is routine damage against India but it stood out this time.
