Brad Hogg referred to an Indian player as a "bastard"


Recommended Posts

INDIA made the stunning move of lodging a counter-claim of abuse against the Australians during Harbhajan Singh's racial discrimination hearing last night. The Indians alleged that Brad Hogg referred to an Indian player as a "bastard", which is considered to be a highly offensive term in India. The charge appears to be an attempt to pick apart Australia's argument that "monkey" is a racially charged word, a stance the Indians have challenged. "I don't think that word ['monkey'] was used on the ground, but it is not a derogatory word in India," said Indian team manager Chetan Chauhan last week in outlining India's case in defence of Harbhajan. The hearing into Hogg's conduct will be held separately from Harbhajan's case, and possibly as early as today. Indian captain Anil Kumble yesterday criticised the behaviour of the Australian players, although the counter-charge against Hogg is believed to have taken the Australian camp by surprise.
