My version of the story is Harbhajan is a jacka$$ and has always been!! But in this case, he was not proven guilty of a racial abuse........of saying symond a M*nkey...even Symonds and the Rest of the Aussies were not sure whether Harbhajan uttered Monkey or Teri Maa ki..... So I feel for Harbhajan in this case!! But what I didnt like in this whole issue is that BCCI coming and saying things like "An Indian player can never be a racist" or "We shall not stand for our boys being called racists" in exact words n thats not called for!! That 4 me is absolutely disgraceful!! How can he say that?? This is where I have my objections and not with Harbhajan who is very proud in what he does and throws what he gets back to the Aussies when needed and stms goes overboard as well!!

And abt changing the Umpire for the next match after a dismal show in the second test, that was ICC who was at fault!! They surely sud have taken a stronger stance and sud have had Bucknor, the most experienced even if not the most respected umpire in the world , to umpire in the Perth test!! And one thing to no quiero, this was not the first evidence that the umpire had been changed as u mentioned! I clearly remember Srilanka had Rudi Koertzen sacked for the next tour to SRL when he made  fatal error by giving Sangakkara out when he was playing prolly a match winning inning of 194 against the aussies! So ICC made a wrong decision then and repeated the same mistake again!!

And abt Harbhajan once more, hes getting his share of booing in Australia by around 80000 ppl and that wud surely b reminding him thro out his life not to indulge in such acts!!!

Now lets enjoy the Commonwealth VB series and hope that India and SRL wud put up a good fight against the aussies and not get romped like in the T-20!!! I just wish India n Srl are there in the finals and Ricky Ponting getting stripped from captaincy like Steve Waugh was after his team failed to qualify to the finals against NZ and SA!! That series rocked and lets hope this series also will but deep down I just feel that India dont have the batting depth and with Ganguly and Dravid out the middle order is far too brittle to put up a fight and India have to call up one or may be both of them in the middle of the series after a dismal performance in the first half!! For me a series in Australia is not the time to sack the class, flair and experience of Ganguly!!

Anyways, My POLLY is retiring, SA will miss a legend, the whole cricketing world will and So will I!! My mentor is walking away from the game with his head held high and being such great ambassador for the game!! Brought tears to my eyes yesterday when he bowled his last over and hit the winning runs against the Windies at his home ground :( Best of luck Polly and have a great life after cricket!! SA surely have a great season ahead against India, England and Australia ahead!! A great season lies ahead for the Proteas and there are Heroes to b born! Watch out guys for a turn around of the FACE of cricket!!!

Amen...
