Hogg didn't make any comment, its just a lame attempt by India to try defer media attention from their own disgraceful acts
You are right. This is a past and we didn't changed it but we now think about future and also enjoy next two test matches without an problems. This is just a sport.
do you have a proof that harbhajan called symonds a monkey? no TV record, no audio record. just because ponting and symonds says he called him monkey, doesnt make sense either. Princess stop defending aussie team. you know its not all that easy as it seems.
Why would the player (Symonds) and the team captain make it up? Why would they come out and say it happened if it didn't, despite what you may think of me and other Australians that is not something that we'd do. I do agree that a 3 match suspension was not warranted, maybe 1 match or just a warning, because everybody in cricket sledges and cross the line at times, India, Australia, South Africa, England, EVERYONE. However how can you believe they simply made up the allegation, just because the split second was not captured on camera doesnt mean it didnt happen, it makes sense to deny saying it but it doesnt make sense to make it up to begin with, think about it.
Sorry I meant as a crowd member. I hope he gets suspended, he's not much and is in bad form anyway, I'd prefer to see Tait out there chucking (I mean bowling) his wild balls.
Yeah Right, Aussies never do anything wrong, do they? Hogg is a saint while Bhajji is a racist. That too without any proof. LMFAO.
It is sad to hear comments that the Australian cricket team is 'professional' just because it is untrue and we all know that. They were one team that started sledging and continued to use it and were accepted as they were by other national teams. But recently, they wrote it in bold letters that they are not as brave as we thought they were because they cannot take anything back. Australian cricketers have been using verbal racial abuse and even worse for years now. They have just used a few soohisticated words like gamesmanship and mind-games. But, they're nothing mroe than saying nasty comments about others' mom or sister. So, when a sensitive Indian responds to a comment that involves his family, it is racism. Either the Australian team needs to stop using sledging as part of their game plan or they need to be braver and stop being cry-babies. The former option is better for cricket. Peace.
Why didnt they bring it up until after Harbhajan was disgraced then, coz it didnt happen obviously or they wouldve reported it straight away. Not hard to work that one out.
And why would a senior player like Sachin Tendulkar lie about Bhajji being innocent. And why would a respected and calm player like Anil Kumble make accusation of Hogg calling Indian players 'Bastards'?
if pointing can point a finger to declare a player out. If pointing can claim a catch which was grounded. If pointing can appeal for catch out when the ball hit the pad. Ponting can surely LIE.
Coz hes defending his friend, theres more reason to deny it happened then to make up a total lie in the first place. Also bastards wouldnt be anything wrong anyway, thats not racist.
coz indians dont complain for every small stuff happening during the game. Its childish to complain about things all the time. We lost the temper later. I wouldn't be surprised if ponting complains that bhajji has bigger dick than him lol
That must mean Symonds is lying as well, Symonds is a champion guy, he wouldnt make this story up out of nowhere. Ponting is simply defending his player because he is his captain and his friend, out of respect he is backing up Symonds, which he should. Thx.
No they didn't bring up because, As Wasim Akram put it, unlike Aussies Indians are not cry babies. On field sledging goes on, Indian team decided not to bring it up, but When Aussies started crying a river over 'Racism' issue, Indian team decided to bring the issue forth too. Again I ask where is the proof that Bhajji called Symonds a monkey. I don't take Symonds word if you are not taking Tendulkar's word.
Ricky Leading pack of wild dogs--Peter Roebuck Even Australian media,experts and some of former players are against Australian Team behavior.
OMGGGG this is getting ridiculous, so far out of proportion now. @ The Webmaster - I'm taking Symonds word because of simple logic, Tendulkar has a big reason to say Harbhajan didnt say anything - because he is trying to stop him getting suspended, but Symonds lying would be totally un-neccessary coz if it didnt happen why make it up? why create an issue if theres no need to? This whole thing is seirously annoying now, i wish theyd just play cricket and every media just shutup about it, ive never seen so much whinging.
