Australia: 6 Indian student cricketers racially abused

A cricket tribunal in Australia's Geelong city is looking into an accusation that 10 local cricketers racially abused a team with six players of Indian descent, a media report said on Thursday. The Geelong Cricket Association discussed the accusations till early Thursday morning after learning that players from the Thomson club racially abused members of the Waurn Ponds team during a fourth grade qualifying final Saturday, The Age reported. Waurn Ponds team has up to six players of Indian descent. Cricket Victoria has sent its code of conduct commissioner Ron Beazley to speak to the players before the hearing officially started in Geelong. Geelong Cricket Association president Ron Dew said it was the first time the association had heard such charges. The association, he said, had been glad to accept Beazley's expertise. "He is the most experienced person in Australia to deal with this sort of issue," he was quoted as saying. There have been a string of attacks on Indians in Australia since May last year. One of the assaults proved fatal. Nitin Garg was fatally stabbed Jan 2 while walking to his place of work.

Are you indian or frustralian?

Racial abuse is prevalent in Australia. It has been for years. Nothing new. But compared to say 10 years back it has gotten slightly better. I have heard so many first hand accounts through my friends.

Wait until the investigations are over. If you object to the punishment, throw your tantrums than.

I played club cricket for couple of years in Melbourne and met so many people at practice & weekend games. Very warm and nice people I must say :D These morons who were abusive need to be punished :orderorder:

Yup. that is what my concern is. There could be 1000s of decent people. But 1 idiot can screw all that. So we cannot make judgement on everybody. Imagine one Indian making a mistake and every one getting racially profiled.

There will always be people like these. Don't be silly enough to believe the entire country is like this. Australia can have a degree of racism in it, but we are a very multicultural country and supply a lot of good for Indian people. It's a shame what has been happening recently with regards to Indians, but I don't think the media is helping it much.

I would even go a step further and say that if someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn your other cheek as well.

Why am I not surprised? :clap:

How is this even news? There are many many indians/indian descent people in Australia and a couple of cases of racism or crime aren't a trend or indication but an abnormality. Some Media loves to highlight extreme cases and make them seem common place when the truth of the matter might be the exact opposite.
