A few days ago there was talk of calling off the tour, now Pawar has said there is no chance at all of the tour being called off. Where is our self-respect as a nation ? We get trampled on by the whites (Ponting,Hayden,Clarke,Benson,Procter) and blacks alike ( Symonds,Bucknor)and take it lying down. let alone all the bad decisions and the disgusting behaviour of the Aussie players, the minute Harbhajan was convicted by Procter without any evidence whatsoever we should have cancelled the tour and lodged a protest with the ICC against all the culpable perties. Instead, because of the almighty dollar, Pawar, the BCCI and the establishment ( read ESPN/Star, big corporate advertisers etc and so many more)have all swept the matter under the carpet.

Country's self respect comes at the last in the priority of the looting combination of BCCI and money comes first.. Pawar has done so much to get rid of Dalmiya to control BCCI.. Now will he forgo the chance to become ICC president for the sake of self respect of his country? No he will never like to offend his white masters whose vote is essential for ICC presidential election.

U r right BCCI's handling of the situation was pathetic to say the least. In any sport u cannot (and should not) compete with cheats...and Aussies are the biggest cheats. When will BCCI have balls to take some tough deceisions.
