Bhajji - Racist???

One more stinker??? Give me a break yaar!!! Its not good to start a new year with these many stinkers. :(

Bhajji was claimed a racist, because he called Andrew Symonds a "Monkey", by the ICC. If Monkey is called racism what does B&
$!#%D called. A blessing??? Hogg used this word in the final day of the test match.

Do we have to call Bhajji a racist and Hogg as St. Brad Hogg.???
Should Bhajji be banned for 3 tests and should we erect a statue for Hogg???

Nobody might have forgotten the celebration of Bhajji, after taking the wicket of Ponting. He rolled on the ground just like a monkey. In India, some people use monkeys, to entertain people, on the roadside by making them roll just the way Bhajji did. I don't know about other countries. If Bhajji has thought monkey will mean racism, he would not have rolled like that in front of thousands of people in the stadium and millions of people around the world watching him on TV.

And about the verdict, everybody agrees it is against Bhajji. Me too. Even to put in another way, it is in favor of Australia. Without proper proof, they have accused Bhajji.

Reason??
They wanted the record of Steve Waugh to be broken.
They were in a weak position in the first innings.
With some umpiring decisions on their side, they got to score a pretty decent one in the first innings.
India has proved them that they didn't win them in 20-20 world cup by luck, but by their talents in the match held in Mumbai, and it became a threat to Australia.

They found out the danger man in the team, who has the habit of taking Ponting's wicket. (Read this phrase from a cricket site). So Bhajji was selected and being screwed now.

Should India come back? I don't think so. These kind of things (except the verdict) happen in most of the cricket games. Lot of people are making this a big issue. Involving Mahatma Gandhi, Indian Nation's pride and who knows what else. I would say, ICC should not stop the ban on Bhajji, they should REVOKE it.

Let us not forgot what happened in the 20-20 between India and England after the exchange of few words between Yuvi and Flintoff.

Cummon India!!! You can do it.

Please note that, When I mean Australia/ Aussies in this and my previous posts, I only mean the Australian Cricket team (11 members) and NOBODY else.

Mani,

Yeah... I accept your sentence. U explained yourself as a true indian. Great da...

But, u have to think from the cricket side... Yes, Aussies did big mistake in that match. I think They could not bear themself that the match was going against them. Because They all aussies players were expecting the world record during that match. They wanted to win that match however the situation was,Why they were following some habit against of rules. But their goodness, Umpires were supporting them also.

One more thing I would like to know you that is Aussies are playing well than us in the world.

Twenty20 cricket is not a cricket game. Cricket became as shot ball(Base Ball) in Twenty20. So we should not consider that type of match as cricket. That was invented for entertainment purpose.

A cricket player is consider as a good player with the test cricket only. Nick and Nag strategy can be applied in test cricket only.

For example take a Bangaladesh team, That team is also a test approval team. They can win oneday match against australia.. why?.... Alreay they won India, Australia,Pakistan, Westindies and so on... They did not win any test match against these teams. Why I am saying this, Test match is depent upon good spirit, power, enthusiastic response and everything..

Do you know? Sydney pitch is batting pitch... Other than the sydney, Addilide placess are favour for bowling. We have two changes to win the test match which is Sydney match and Addilide match. One's result was already known by us. Another one is waiting for us that will be in Addilide. Match in Perth will be favour for Aussies. Still they are very strong in bowling area than india.

So, In cricket point of view, Australia is very very good team than India.

India does not have the fighting effort. They are having the habit of surender in crucial situation. That I dont like from indian Team...

India should watch the australian players game and should improve themself upon their strength...

I dont know why I they are not improving... Do you know? Australian team is following one manthram that is "White Wash".... Thats why they are winning all games. But Indian team is following one manthram that is "Draw the test and series".

Ricky Ponding is thinking that we should win this match with in 3 days whenever he went to bat.

But Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly
and some other players, what will they think whenever they went to play? Do you know?

Tendulkar is thinking that I will play well than Dravid, Ganguly and Yuvaraj. Dravid is thinking from bavilion that Tendulkar and Ganguly will lose their wickets soon and viceversa....
Finally Every player as well as people from india are praying we should draw this game...

(UnderLine-> Indian players are thinking and using "I", But ponding and his boys are thinking and using "We")

Tell mani Which is best "I" or "We"?

We will pray for indian team will get back in to form.(Sorry not "Back" Only "get". When was india in form to use "Back into form")..

We will see What india will do....

Hi Muruga, Nice to see your comments.. But in some aspects I totally disagree.

In cricket point of view, Australia is very very good team than India. I agree that Australia is a stronger team when compared with any other cricket teams. But with this reputation, they should not have done these silly things. They are supposed to be an example of how to play cricket. In one way they are. But when u think of sledging, they are the worst ever team. And only for making a record, they should not loose their dignity. I had a very great respect to Ausy and all are gone now.

It was a nice explanation about 20-20 (Base ball) :). I liked it.

India does not have the fighting effort. To this comment, I totally disagree. Coz we have found in the last few innings, India fought very well till the last ball against the opponents.

For ex. I don't remember which match, but it was a one day held recently (I think it was against England). Dhoni and tail enders were batting. Dhoni tried really hard to keep the strike with him instead of giving it to the other guy and loosing the game.

And in the last day, Kumble fought really well. Nobody can comment on that. If he had got an opportunity to bat instead of the tail enders, the would have been saved. But unluckily he didn't get it.

The result doesn't matter. But the fighting spirits does matter.

Still they are very strong in bowling area than india. But they??? (can be replaced by he) got scared of Bhajji's bowling. That is the reason for all these mess about Bhajji.
