[Merged] What vulgar stuff was said to Bhajji ?


Recommended Posts

Bhajji affirms 'vulgarity of Australia' Harbhajan Singh has claimed Australia targeted him with "personal and vulgar" words during the second one-day match in India while Andrew Symonds was "disappointed" with the behaviour of S Sreesanth. Sreesanth attempted to run-out Symonds in a move even Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India's captain, initially thought was a joke. After the match Harbhajan was not laughing and said the Australians had shown themselves to be bad losers after their defeat to India in the semi-finals of the Twenty20 World Cup. "They clearly did not like that," Harbhajan said in the Sydney Morning Herald. "They are a very good cricket side, but that does not mean that they can do whatever they want to do. "They say they play the game in the right spirit, but they don't in reality. There is nothing gentlemanly about the way they play." After being dismissed by Michael Clarke in the 84-run loss, Harbhajan waited mid-pitch and pointed his bat. "I was responding to a lot of vulgar words that were said to me," he said. "I don't have any problem with chitchat on the field, so long as it is about the game. But when it is very personal and vulgar, that is not on. They think you cannot fight back and they do not like it when you do." The Australians were also upset with the opposition's actions and Symonds said Gilchrist had spoken to Sreesanth during the match. "[He] tried to explain to him it's best to try and get on with the game and try not to get tangled up with some of the childish exchanges," Symonds said in the Australian. Symonds, who hopes to get a mental edge over India before they tour Australia in December, said he was disappointed when Sreesanth attempted to run him out when he was going to speak to Brad Haddin. Dhoni told Sreesanth: "That is not the way you get the batsman out, you get him out some other way." "I went back and made my ground," Symonds said, "and I just went down to give Brad some support. He was doing his best and failed to make contact with that particular ball, and I didn't see the need for him to be at Brad like he was. When I go to another sport I like to see confrontation, I'll admit that, but you don't want to see ugly confrontation and you don't want to see confrontation that degrades your sport." Shane Warne, who is in Melbourne, did not think Sreesanth's overall behavoiur was "over the top". "It's going to add a bit of spice to the summer," Warne told AAP. "Everyone's going to be looking for Sreesanth to do his stuff and it shows with a bit of passion. I think it's going to be good for the summer."

I know he yelled "f*ck you" to someone after they said something.............any ideas or guesses? And Aussies are hurt by Indian behavior :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
1. But it's ok for Indian fans to use that same curse towards their players in the match threads when a player makes a bad shot or bowls badly ?? 2. Aussies aren't hurt at all by Indian behaviour. Although, they probably think it mildly amusing. :regular_smile:

Ricky Ponting riled by Harbhajan Singh complaintsRicky Ponting riled by Harbhajan Singh complaints AUSTRALIAN skipper Ricky Ponting has lashed out at India's faltering cry babies before today's Future Cup clash in Hyderabad. Ponting is not impressed by an Indian side that has turned into a media tart with its off-field taunts. Complaints from Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh about Australia's "personal and vulgar" on-field behaviour riled the Australian captain, who is expected to play in the third match of the series at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. "Good luck to him. I don't care what he has got to say, to tell you the truth," Ponting said yesterday. "He has got plenty to say on the field, but whenever anyone says something back to him he is the first to run away from it." Ponting said it was easy to see through a charade that has India talking like prizefighters, but yet to lay a blow on its dominant visitor. "There has probably been a little more language from the Indians than us, which is to be expected after they said they were going to fight fire with fire," Ponting said. "What we have seen hasn't surprised us. We know that is not the way they generally play their cricket. They are trying to put on some brave front, brave face, and so far we have played some great cricket." India's players have accused Australia of not playing within the spirit of the game -- a view Ponting vehemently disputes. "We play our cricket in a nice, aggressive way. We play within the rules and spirit of the game," Ponting said. "They have come out and made statements every day about this new aggressive India and manner they going to play with. We will play the best cricket we can and leave all the talking up to the Indians.'' Ponting said his players had a much better disciplinary record than Harbhajan and fiery seamer Shanth Sreesanth, who have been the most vocal. "If you have a look at both Harbhajan's and Sreesanth's records over the past few years, they have been involved in a lot of those sort of altercations," Ponting said. "Perception is an amazing thing in this world. If we were ever as bad as what people have said we have been, then you would have seen a lot more of our players reported."
