Is Symonds A Victim Of Racism??, Isnt he and anstraila overreacting ??? Options

Harbhajan has been given 3 test ban punishment ! Australians have totally overreacted. They can do anything to win their 16th test.

No one can deny they played bit better cricket but didnt outclased Indians. ( thts wat they want to show..."they dominated others" ).


Saymonds may be of black ancestory(???). but I feel he was called moneky due to the sun cream he applies on his face. and his subsequent resemblence to a moneky. and indians are not used to using/seeing such creams( faces ) thts why those comments might have been made on him. and even if any Indian or subcontintent player had used such large amt of cream on lips or face , rude spectators certainly would have called him a joker or a moneky !
Rarely you find a indian player applying so much sun cream....... And few I t hink dont even use it !.
Why will indians call only one australian and why not blacks in england or S afraincn or W. indies team??

but I dont think Calling Symonds- monkey ., is anthing to do with racism !

Sorry for my poor knowledge..... may be I might be clueless abt some racist things used in western countries.


Australins IMO are certainly overracting..........and symonds specialy......

PS : By australian defination. : Didnt indians did a "similar" racist thing to Inazmam when they called him " alloo". (off course it isnt racist at all !)

To be frank, i lost interest in cricket a long time back, may be from the allegations of Match fixing, or the overkill of the game. Every day we can some team playing live match somewhere in the World.
But I watched the game for half an hour, the episodes of Rahul Dravid and Sourav getting out.. where it is very clear that both are mistakes of umpiring decisions. But what stands out is the way Ricky ponting put his finger up, denoting to the Umpire that Ganguly is out..and the way Clarke and Gilchrist appealed over the alleged nick of Dravid, even as he haplessly hid his bat behind his pads. Australians are especially not famous for their sportiveness on the field..From Border to the present lot, so we cant expect more anyway.
But maybe these are the moments to remember the real Gentlemen of the Gentleman's game...Courtney Walsh and others, who will be remembered long after for decades to come...
