***Official*** Pakistan in South Africa

Interesting to see Pakistan struggling against an unremarkable left-arm finger spinner again, but of course the Panesar lover society will tell me that Pakistan are brilliant players of spin...
So you've seen enough of him to tell us that he's mediocre? Great.. I guess being a SLA bowler is a prerequisite to being rubbish..

Iets just hope Pakistan go on to win this Test, and the ICC have the guts to respond with suspensions for the players at fault for the racial abuse.
Lets hope they don't go on to win the test, that too, would be a travesty for the integrity of the game.. I hope the ICC come down hard on the player concerned mind you, but I doubt they will..

Secondly, why is calling someone an animal racist?

Well I thought that was obvious, but I do not want to spell it out as it may offend some one, if you would like to send me an email then I would be happy to explain what I think they meant by that comment :)

I didn't hear the exact comment, can you get on MSN? :)

Crikey.. Thats absolutely ridiculous that we got so high and mighty about things in Australia (fair enough I though), but not when you carry on like this.. Quietly ashamed to be honest

Yeah that's pretty poor. All I'll say is that if an Australian player said that, woah ho, there'd be hell to pay around here.

Wow. Hope something major is done about this...a ban of some sort as a start. If it was Gibbs, I can't say I'm surprised. Although I didn't peg him as a racist, he seems like an immature type who might say something stupid.

So I assume it was something like "****ing Pakistanis go the **** back to your ****ing zoos'?

Ideally, I'd like there to be no official response and tomorrow a Pakistani player would repay the kindness with some equal words and we'd get on with the game. But something that harsh going back and forth between might sour things permanently, so not exactly sure what can be done. Frankly, I am not sure if this is all that rare from any team (including the subcontinent teams). Just seems that the stump mic was on this time.

I wouldn't be too harsh on Gibbs, he probably already regrets it.

This dumb head laid back captain is the whole problem . And the problem is that I always get award named after him . I don't blame Nel . He could do that and its fine because a mouse will never attack a lion but the lion can attack any one .
Now all the putties who said Shoaib Akhtar is not important so here we want him to answer the smash in their face .
Its normal what Nel did because thats what many many many people have in their mind but Nel was bold enough to display it verbaly .
I do not blame Nel . It was nice to see how a laid back captain can bring insult and will take it .
The reason is we need SHoaib Akhtar right there to make them drink their own vomit . They need me tbh or atleast Shoaib AKhtar .
