Pontings foul mouthed send off to Bhaji

[jaideep]

hey fine leg u right..but i also hope that these 3 cricketers come to india and our crowds gives them an earful even it they have to resort to racist comments, i hope our crowds humiliate them and i hope the authorities dont stop the crowds from doing so...:D....i may sound like a pervert but this is how i feel after the sydnyt test match

[kumble_rocks]

:two_thumbs_up: This is why i am imploring IPL to not pay a dime to these morons!!! (even though they are fantastic batsmen/fielder)

Dream on . In fact , on the contrary , rumor has it that Symonds and Harbhi will be teammates in Mumbai !

[jaideep]

so the mumbai team is all set to plunge into internal squabbling an dutter chaos:haha:

Jaideep, If you really love the art of the game, you wouldnt have made those comments. If you are going to stoop to such a low level, you are not just a disgrace to indian cricket fans but also to India. I am an Indian from Australia. I support the Indian cricket team religiously but that is because I love the game of cricket. I was as upset as any cricket fan should have been after the sydney test because of everything negative that happened. It's comments like yours that put India to shame. The Australian cricketers and media is not without blame, but that still does not justify your comments.

Sydney or no Sydney' date=' monkey or no monkey, Ponting would have still foul mouthed Bhajji. The Aussies hate him and are not too shy to say that to Bhajji. And Bhajji himself would have replied with a naughty smile in his face - " Thanks mate, the feeling's mutual".[/quote'] I agree. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, there has been friciton between the Aussies and Bhajji for some time now, and chances are that he would have copped a mouthful regardless of the events of the Sydney test. Send-offs like that have been perpetuated by all teams at some time or another. It's just one of those things that happens in the heat of battle. I think that the current example is being blown out of proportion due to the ill-feeling following the Sydney test.

With all due respect, posters in this thread are bashing Ponting without having the foggiest idea of what has been said. No Indian players have mentioned it, the media hasn't mentioned it. How are we to know? It is purely speculation! In the Harbi case, a formal report/complaint was lodged, and that became the focus of the media and public discussion... not just some speculation on an internet forum. Personally I believe that the media coverage here in Australia was quite impartial on the whole incident. They reported factually on the progress through the case, and there was nothing false or inflammatory about it. I would rather not speculate on my thoughts regarding Harbi's appeal other than to say that 'no proof' means there was no formal evidence to prove that he said what he did. By the same token, there is no evidence to show that he didn't say what was claimed. The initial guilty finding was flawed and the result of the appeal was appropriate, however don't be fooled into thinking that 'no proof' means that he didn't say it.

Thats the entire basis of most western legal systems ... "innocent until proven guilty". Bhajji was initially handed a 3-test ban despite any proof, so when the appeal was lodged, and he was given a fine, the Australian media carried on as if Harbhajan had won a trial akin to the OJ Simpson result back in 1995. However, despite your view that we are being unfair on Ricky Ponting, let me remind you that the majority of the criticism directed towards Ponting's style and attitude has come from Australians. This has never happened with any other captain in the games history. So you honestly think its just Indians being unfair to Ponting. Look at the criticism by Peter Roebuck, Geoff Lawson, John Bertand, Herb Elliot, Robert De Castella, Kevin Bartlett, Neil Harvey, Jeff Thompson.

when we do that, your media slams us for being racist :giggle: Our words are misinterpreted :D Remember, its maaki and not monkey :hysterical:

[Anakin]

No Indian player has mentioned it because they are not sissies like Symmo or Ponting who would go to their dad crying when sledged back, with of course help from other cheats from the team.

who cares ? perhaps if you guys started worrying about your results instead of what the aussies are doing, you may actually win a few games :hysterical:

Did you see it?? Why do you think he was saying good evening? His face was was one of anger!! We all know it was a send off. Disgusting he needs to keep his trap shut!

What the? Of course his face was one of anger, how could you not be angry when looking at Harbhajan? It's meant to be a joke, don't have a whinge, also good luck to sri lanka today eh?

LOL ... when Pathan did the same thing to Martyn in 2004 he gets fined. In fact, Id say the Australians are the softest team in the world, because whenever anyone gives it back to them they complain to match officials. They complained about Ranatunga, Ganguly, Graeme Smith, Sreesanth, Andre Nel, Chris Gayle, Ramnaresh Sarwan, and many others who have stood up to Australia. But since Australians are hardened and can handle on field abuse, how do you explain this article ? http://www.hindu.com/2007/10/12/stories/2007101262512500.htm In this article Ponting complains that Sreesanth had said words to his batsman as they were leaving the field after being dismissed.

wow, thats definitely up there in some of the worst comebacks ive ever read. way to avoid the issue buddy..

And I must say it is pretty sad when an Australian cricket fan joins IndianCricketFans.com just to argue with the Indians in every thread and defend Australia. LOL. Make sure you join PakistaniCricketFans, SouthAfricanCricketFans, NewZealandCricketFans, LankanCricketFans, EnglandCricketFans, WestIndiesCricketFans, etc too. I am sure they are bagging Australian players too. Or did they kick you out of the other forums?
