Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

Yeah they are not anymore, but there was talk about india pulling out
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

There are reports on news channels that tour can still be cancelled. They are having discussions at Powars(BCCI president) house about it. Many people in India want the tour cancelled.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

Well i do hope it wont be, but i read on cricinfo that the indian players were asked to stay on by the BCCI, dont know what thats all about
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

A few minutes ago, BCCI official Rajiv Shukla was asked if the tour is going to continue. He refused to answer the question and simply stated that the Indian Team is in Sydney. An official stated, on the condition of anonymity, that the team will stay in Sydney until the ban is overturned. They have also requested that Bucknor and Benson should not officiate in matches involving India.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

well it would be a down right shame if the tour was cancelled because of the one test
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

how are they sure that harbhajan didnt say anything racist? why would symonds lie? i believe in symonds. harbhajan deserves to be punished.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

the indians are only pulling out because they no they will be beaten because they lost harbahajan
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

i think thats a bit harsh, i think they are pulling out because they think they, and they might have been, have been hard done by the umpiring. but thats just my opinion, ill be interested to hear what some Indians think the reason is, AB

I doubt that. Harbhajan would hardly be effective on the Perth wicket. I think India might benefit if Harbhajan doesn't play. We should have only played 1 spinner in Australia and Kumble is our best spinner. He shouldn't have played the past two tests.
According to the statement from BCCI, the Indian team is unhappy with the umpiring and other unfortunate incidents that happened in the match. They also feel that a 3 Test ban for Harbhajan is unfair considering the lack of any audio or video evidence. None of the players heard Harbhajan calling Symonds a 'monkey' so they are believing in Harbhajan's word.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

yeh but why would symonds make it up?? :confused:
but yeh true harbhajan wouldnt be to effective on the perth wicket i presume :confused:
but we definetly need new umpires to end this dispute :mad:
it should never have happened
it has recked the spirit of this test series :cry
cricket is a gentlemans game
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

but why would harbhajan say anything without being provoked. symonds must have said something to him. india doesnt do racism we have fought very hard against it during colonial rule.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

thats a lie symonds was clearly racially abused last year when he travelled to india.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

that was an isolated incident. yeah i think those people abused him because he was playing so well. it was a pathetic incident. but harbhajan wont stoop to such a level. he would never intend to racially abuse symonds.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

It's all a bit of handbags really, Symonds get involved in something that he shouldn't have and Singh made the comment back.

Ok, if he said what he said then it's not on really but it's being blown out of all proportion.

A suspended 3 match bad would have been more in keeping with events, unless Singh has prior offences of this nature.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

i hope this all gets sorted out
this is turning cricket into a mess
we look like those big fat thugs that play NRL
gentleman play cricket not fat thugs
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

the only solution is that harbhajan should be unbanned. i didnt like mike proctors statement. he says that harbhajan intended to hurt symonds by abusing his race. how is he so damn sure without any evidence? i can accept that harbhajan might have said some things to symonds but he shouldnt be accused of racism.
