Aren't all indians supposed to be black or brown?
I have called many of my friends monkey and so have called my sister a "bandar" or a monkey when she used to jump arrounf when she was small.So i am a racist?
Monkey is a word used by WASP to be racially abusive to Africans as to suggest that there is an immediate link to these animals.

Slymomonds is NOT a monkey ok. Donkey, maybe, but not a monkey.

From now on I find any comment to be racially abusive to me, so please do not repsond. lol

:laugh:

Slymmonds is as weak as water. I am coloured and if I abuse someone i accept that some people will resort to racial comments. Thats fair game. Hence I dont make comments to abuse people. The Ozzies are not people, ie there cricketers ! :laugh:

Big ugly bold ape (Am I right?) calls Harbhajan a "obnoxious weed". Can't disagree though. But this bully needs a ban with his mate Symonds for boorish behavior. I'd first shoot the three SL life gaurds that pulled these two out in a near drowning experiance in southers SL few years back. They should have let these two pieces of sh*t drown.
Man, you have serious problems...

All you knockers of the aussies must remember this.....

The Aussies are NUMBER 1 in ALL forms of the game played. and while trying to remain unbiased and objective I feel this whole bloody tour by India has been a farce with India NOT being competitive on the pitch and they have deliberately set out to knock "The Tall Poppy" syndrome out of the Aussies and it has not worked...The sooner they go home the better!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish we'd not competed well enough to lose 2-1...

It's just so tedious. Don't understand how Hayden thought it would be at all appropriate to say it, either.
Quite. I mean, the big fella's never struck me as the most reflective of souls, but pro sportsmen must get literally days of media training nowadays, you'd have thought this kinda scenario would've been covered.

[Harbhajan sinks the boot in

By Jon Pierik
February 28, 2008

INDIA spinner Harbhajan Singh exploded with rage when describing his chief critic Matthew Hayden as one of the most disliked figures in world cricket.

Furious that Hayden had called him an "obnoxious little weed", Harbhajan hit back at the big opener and the rest of an Australia team he believes has perfected the art of sledging and is bad for cricket.

Harbhajan's spray came as Hayden escaped with a reprimand after being charged with making a "detrimental public comment" about the India star.

But he was clearly unhappy to have been found guilty of an infraction for a remark made during a jocular interview on Brisbane radio.

Hayden called Harbhajan an "obnoxious little weed", words that caused a wave of consternation among Indian cricket followers.

Following the verdict, Hayden read a brief statement outside CA's Jolimont headquarters in Melbourne.

"I maintain my innocence, my intentions were never to denigrate cricket or anyone," he said.

"But in the spirit of cricket I respect and accept the decision."

Hayden's forced apology is unlikely to pass muster with Harbhajan, who did not hold back in making his retort.

"Who is Matthew Hayden?" asked Harbhajan.

"I don't want it to be a slanging match, but you only need to speak to international cricketers and international teams to know in what opinion they hold Hayden."

Harbhajan even accused Australia of trying to cover up their on-field sledging by hiding among their teammates to avoid being detected by television cameras. He claimed during the one-day international in Adelaide this month that Ponting had continually asked him to "show what you've got" while he was batting.

Harbhajan responded with a cheeky: "Whatever I have shown in the middle has been better than yours in the series so far."

Ponting, at that stage, was struggling with the bat.

Harbhajan then claimed Ponting told him to "f... off" after the India player was dismissed.

Harbhajan stopped and turned around to see the Australia captain yelling abuse while celebrating with his teammates.

"They do it so well," Harbhajan said. "They keep their back to you when they have something nasty to say to the opponent."

It's understood the pair exchanged words later that night outside the dressing room.

These comments have poured more fuel on what will be an explosive finals series, beginning in Sydney on Sunday.

Relations reached a new low on Sunday when the tourists filed an official report against alleged verbal abuse from Hayden, Ponting and Andrew Symonds during Australia's 18-run win at the SCG.]


ITSTL. If the Australians are sledging away from the presence of TV cameras then I think it justifies my previous comment about all onfield players should be wearing microphones. Lol at harbhajan's comeback - very clever for a guy who usually lacks tact and subtlety.

*yawn*

Reckon we should just ban all Indian & Australian players barring Lee & Sachin from playing the finals series. Deadset sick of all this crap

Can see the abuse report re: Symonds, Hayden & Ponting turning out similar to that of Singh's in the Sydney test. Nothing will happen unless the stump mic, or umpires heard it.

"Who is Matthew Hayden?" asked Harbhajan.

Lol!

I think Hayden's slap on the wrist was just to shut the Indians up from whinging about it.
