Hayden calls Harbhajan an obnoxious weed

[silentstriker]

Please don't get into the monkey thing again. That part is done, and I'm going to close this thread if people start calling Symonds a monkey again. And people are going to start getting bans.

Here are full comments by Hayden. Loved his imitation of Sharma's accent.

Wow, what a ****ing prick.

And no surprise the radio hosts were acting like smaratasses.

 

[Protean]

Wow Hayden is an idiot, along with the others in that clip. That is disgusting.

 

[Jono]

Have to say though that Hayden making fun of the Sharma's accent in that context is as racially insensitive and offensive as anything else that has allegedly been said during the course of this tour.

So true.

Not so surprising considering the "Show us your Visa" chants that come out at cricket games nowadays.

He's a Queenslander, straight out of the Mahatma Cote fan club. You expected anything else?

 

[Cevno]

I know you guys told Cevno to stop stirring earlier in the thread when he said the Aussies won't know what hit them when they go to India later this year, but he's absolutely right.

I've seen first hand how well Aussie cricketers have been treated over there but this current mob isn't doing themselves any favours and all this sniping is angering a lot of people over there. Suffice to say I hope they've got top class security with the team when they tour there. I doubt there will be any kiss-ass Indian fans over there anymore.

At this moment pakistan is safer for them than India.
And it will be nigh on impossible to stop the monkey chants on symonds and hayden.Which is not the right thing to do but they deserve it.
Harbhajan has taken abuse all tour long ,so they should come prepared to and not whinge about it.

 

[pasag]

Guys keep the language clean, family forum etc. Jono that stuff is unacceptable, regardless of the edit or how much you felt he deserved it, please don't.

You know, if I was a Sri Lankan player, I would be down on my knees thanking whatever deity that they wish to pray to that I get to fly away and leave this ridiculous series behind them early. Getting away from this nonsense would be a far greater reward than being in the finals.

 

[Pratters]

Decision on Hayden is CA's internal matter: BCCI.

Good stuff I feel as there is no point having further controversies imo.

I don't think that anything beats getting ur country into the final [of any tourney] and playing for it

Ur point is more like a solider saying that he doesn't want to fight coz the battle field is uncomfortable

cheers

I'm surprised more fuss hasn't been made of Hayden and making fun of Sharma's accent. That to me is more offensive and insensitive than any comments on Harbhajan.

Mainly because it's not really news to anyone here in Aus. We've known a lot of these guys are like that for a long time. Why do you think no Aussies of Indian descent support them?

All that interview did was confirm that view.

Nah its fairly common to make fun of the Indian accent here. Happens on television adverts, comedy shows etc.

Just seen not to be offensive. Making fun of an Asian accent, whilst still occuring fairly often, is seen to be more offensive and less acceptable.

The gutless BCCI are backing of scared of the wealth of CA?

If it had been the other way round then that would have been said by the aussies here.

Disagreed here. If the BCCI had said some thing, people would be accusing them of being power mongering crooks. It seems that the BCCI is never right one way or the other according to people. Also, the BCCI can hardly be termed as a scared entity given the financial power it has in the game at the moment, so it is definitely not out of cowardice that they resort this approach.

An important final series is coming up and India doesn't want to get involved in any stupid controversies before it focussing on the game. I was hoping that the BCCI would take a similar line and it is a very mature approach imo.

Ugh. I'm saddened by this.

 

[ColdSnow]

It can go to court ,if harbhajan and the BCCI wants it to.
Why can it not go to court?What will be the outcome is a different issue.

Please stop it cevno. It cannot go to court. A person is allowed to give his or her opinion on another person if they really believe it to be true.

If I call someone an idiot for example,they cannot sue me.

 

[ret]

on mimicking accent, i think in NA, it happens too esp the Buddy [Budeee] word .... may be after that Appu [hope i got the name right] character in the Simpsons

cheers

I've wondered this recently... are you one such person? Had always presumed until recently that you were an Australian of Australian descent.

You got me wrong there.
What i was saying was that if harbhajan had said these comments and the CA had made these kind of statement.Then the aussies here would have said that the BCCI had CA?
So now should we say the opposite?
As for BCCI not having a reason.I have got three letters IPL.
