    Here is the full news (COPY/ PASTE)




    The Indian cricket board has suspended its team's tour of Australia pending the outcome of an appeal for banned spinner Harbhajan Singh.

    Harbhajan was suspended on Sunday by the International Cricket Council for three tests after being found guilty of racially abusing Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds during the second Test in Sydney.

    Harbhajan has denied the claims and the BCCI said the tour would be suspended until his appeal had been heard.

    "The Board will appeal to the International Cricket Council to review the decision of the Match Referee and suspend its operation till the appeal is disposed of," the BCCI said in a statement released today.

    "The Indian Board realises the game of cricket is paramount but so too is the honour of the Indian team and for that matter every Indian.

    "To vindicate its position, the Board will fight the blatantly false and unfair slur on an Indian player."

    The Indian team were due to travel to Canberra today to prepare for their next tour match but returned to their hotel rooms after sitting on their buss for two hours.

    Australia lead the four-match series 2-0.

    Here we go again :rolleyes:

    Why not post this thread in Entertainment/Sports where somebody cares?
    There's already a thread about this in GC. Surely we don't need another one?
