Zaheer charged for send-off

[Ram]

Lol, the Indians really giving it to the Aussies. I’m lovin it! As someone suggested earlier, looks like Zak’s the team’s designated ‘Go-get-the-Aussies’ man. I was literally taken aback when he abruptly started talking about Aussie defensive tactics in the first test. It was even more shocking when he said they cant take 20 wickets against this Indian batting line-up. However, all of it seem to have worked. Its really such a treat to watch Ponting’s face after these defeats. Hopefully, we get to see it more often from here on. :D

this confirms that the aussies(especially hayden) are the biggest crybabies in the world.they can sledge anyone all day but they cant take a single shot back.they are a pathetic bunch of cricketers and dont deserve an ounce of respect.

:dito: :finger::finger::finger::finger::finger::finger: to Hayden

[fineleg]

yep, on cricketing skills, no doubt Aus are very good (despite this defeat) but as 'cricketer sportsmen' they are the most pathetic in the world

[King]

Honestly Zaheer deserved it. Nothing wrong in what he did but nothing wrong in penalizing him too. It was too much in the face stuff. Aussies sledge subtle these days but Zaheer made it a little too apparent. Given the animosity it was expected any such behaviour will be noticed. Broad hardly has integrity as ICC referee but he had to take some action this time around. It's only a fine and am sure the Indian camp won't make a big deal of this.

[coffee_rules]

Did he really circle around hayden? That's juvenile and what we used to do in primary school.

[bharat297]

This is ridiculous. Anyone remember Ponting SHOUTING in the face of Harbhajan Singh when he was dismissed in one of the test matches back in Australia?

I vaguely remember ... except I thought that was an ODI ... In Adelaide I think.

[maaki]

Does anyone have the video... I think it probably is a badla for the sledging he got during the world cup..

Agree. Aussies are more subtle these days. ZK was just to blatant. Run miles to give him a mouthful:hysterical: I think ZK had decided it was worth the fine, I also think it was worth the fine:--D

Sunil Gavaskar accuses match referees of anti-Asian bias MUMBAI: Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has again accused International Cricket Council match referees of being biased against Asian players after Zaheer Khan was fined for a code of conduct breach. India paceman Khan was fined 80 percent of his match fee by match referee Chris Broad of England after he pleaded guilty to a level two charge following the second Test against Australia on Tuesday. The left-arm paceman appeared to say something to opener Matthew Hayden following the batsman's dismissal before tea on Monday's fourth day. "If he swore at him, if he abused him, he obviously deserves to get punished," Gavaskar said on Wednesday. "But let's not mince words here. Every time, it is always an Indian or a sub-continent player who gets hauled up, never the Australians. "There were a lot of incidents in the match. "Do you remember Virender Sehwag batting in the second innings was given not out where everybody appealed and (Australia captain) Ricky Ponting came from extra cover towards the umpire and kept on asking again? "Now if that had been an Indian, the match referee would have taken him to task, fined him... This is where I think the ICC needs to actually get its act together." India won the contest by 320 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series ahead of the third Test starting on October 29. Gavaskar resigned as ICC cricket committee chairman in May after being asked to choose between his position with the sport's governing body and his job as a paid media pundit over concerns about a conflict of interest. In January, he claimed white ICC match referee Mike Procter was biased against Indian players because of their skin colour, after the South African found spinner Harbhajan Singh guilty of racially abusing Andrew Symonds in the Sydney Test. http://cricket.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/3627839.cms ------- LOL Gavaskar at it again :two_thumbs_up:

[cochise]

That's why I like the man.

Thats not Aisan bias, thats called paternal love resulting in jealousy.

[cowboysfan]

its true in this case-chris broad is a documented racist,even during his playing days.how this idiot became a match referree is beyond me.

Sunny once again speaks out against the clear and continuing bias against indians by the offcials. He has balls, as was shown by his batting when he repelled the fearsome windies and world attacks with just a floppy hat on. LEGEND! More should speak out! Shastri you wimp, say something or things will never change!

[vadodaravictor]

Way to go Sunny:two_thumbs_up:

This is brilliant!
