And I think the ICC decision on this case is sensible. They haven't lifted the charges on Harbhajan and an inquiry will be made.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the people of Australia have reacted sensibly to this issue while their Indian counterparts went overboard. That is something I also have written about and I do not support the racist/discriminatory remarks of anyone, regardless of his/her race or country.<BR/><BR/>And walking down on the roads of Bombay with the Australian team t-shirt during these days might give you some stares, that's all. :-) Nothing else will happen and believe me, after a few days they won't even care to notice if it's the Aussie team t-shirt. It is a busy city with people who come from all over India struggling to make their ends meet.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511337418824516211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20800950.post-27341811521420481732008-01-10T14:16:00.000+09:002008-01-10T14:16:00.000+09:00Jo, can you explain why it took so long for the ch...Jo, can you explain why it took so long for the charge against Brad Hogg to be made? Indeed, did he really say it at all? If the charge is dismissed and the ban lifted, then obviously the Australian team lied - is that what you think has happened?<BR/><BR/>By the way, there's no rage here - no effigies of a racist Singh being burnt in the streets, no t-shirts vilifying him on racial grounds, indeed the debate is a very even one.<BR/><BR/>How do you think I'd go walking down the main street in Bombay wearing an Australian team shirt?Cooksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12839550556725737989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20800950.post-7538126845975095362008-01-10T14:05:00.000+09:002008-01-10T14:05:00.000+09:00I can understand the rage, but in the peak of the ...I can understand the rage, but in the peak of the rage you forget the fact that 'bastard' is not a fancy word here in India. It is the most insulting term here.<BR/><BR/>Well, ICC hasn't been partial to Harbhajan or India and it is just that 'innocent until proven guilty' thing after India went on an appeal. I am sure you can understand that as a journalist. Let's wait and see if the whole monkey business happened at all.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511337418824516211noreply@blogger.com
