DomainK Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 My point was that no one has explored a juicy angle in this ongoing slapgate controversy' date=' one that involves the adjudicator/referee himself....I just said that such a "newsworthy" angle hasn't been latched on to by any mediaperson...probably because of the fact not many of the current cricket journos know their cricket and history, not surprising because they all belong to the new breed of cricket followers of just the last 5-6 years[/quote'] You remind me of the song: Aaj is papan ko maarenge hum milkar saare. Lekin jo paapi na ho wo pahla pathhar mare. (we all will today stone this sinner to death, but the first one to throw a stone must be one who never sinned in his life) We will not find too many 'pure' soul to decide the fate of the sinners now.:-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graphic23 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Why are they saying they're going to investigate further? They're making a mountain out of an ant hill. They've issued a ban of 11 IPL games. He slapped a team mate. Maybe that want to make sure this will never happen again - so they want to ban him for 10 Int'l games as well. I thought they should've suspended Sree as well temporarily - he hasn't been very well behaved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they should've suspended Sree as well temporarily - he hasn't been very well behaved. I think Sree would have been punished if it wasnt for the statement from Bhajji. Bhajji has said that his attack was entirely unprovoked. Had he even cited the earlier antics of Sree, it would have been a different case. But if Bhajji himself says that there was no provocation, IPL has no ground to punish Sree on. However, I would like IPL and BCCI to put Sree on probation for six months and if he does not improve, he should be kicked out. We want aggressive players. But there is no place of lunatics.

umpire Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I think losing IPL fees is big enough punishment for bhajji. BCCI should close this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was nice of Bhajji to admit to that. I agree that Sreesanth ought to be put on probation. I thought he should've been put on probation after the England Test Series but it didn't happen. He has a lot of talent - it would be nice if he focused on using it .. and using his brain at times. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straighttalk Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Sreesanth was let off with a warning after video evidence showed Harbhajan slapped him without any provocation. The duo embraced at the end of the hearing after Harbhajan offered an apology in front of the cameras. Harbhajan will not be appealing against the ban. "The referee studied video tapes of the incident and found the assault by Harbhajan was totally unprovoked. The footage exactly showed that Harbhajan went down the line, wishing all the players, shaking hands with a few players," said Lalit Modi, the commissioner of the IPL who is also a vice-president of the BCCI. "Sreesanth was the third player that he met. Instead of shaking his hand he actually slapped him and continued down the line, shaking hands with the other players." http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ipl/content/current/story/347804.html this is laughable..it must be mentioned no provocation was observed by camera...man why would someone slap without any provocation?sreesanth went off lightly.he is the real culprit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSK Fan Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 this is laughable..it must be mentioned no provocation was observed by camera...man why would someone slap without any provocation?sreesanth went off lightly.he is the real culprit Maybe because the person in question is an immature bloke who couldnt handle defeta and took it out on the first person he could? Why would he abuse Symonds? Why would he slap a policeman? Why was he thrown out of NCA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludhianvi Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 A fair enough punishment. But why are the BCCI trying to further investigate? Isnt missing the IPL enough? Btw, Harbhajan wanted to buy his dream vehicle the "hummer". He's not going to get that now:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
