Harbhajan Banned for 3 tests, is it correct?
- no he is banned for only 2 test b/c there is 4 test in total and they are done 2 test already
INDIA RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Yes.
He is banned. Maybe it was all about those 16 wins - sadly its tru,
without even any evidence, they are taking Pontings word for it.
- If Harbhajan Singh is banned, according to the T.V. replay Andrew Symonds deserves to be banned equally; a response to an argument on the pitch automatically involves the responder.
In the case of an argument, a player who responds verbally/physically to the argument is to be penalized according to the degree of conflict.
It is sad to see that even the match referee is taking a step towards baffling decisions.
- Australian cricket sucks
- yea its correct but that freaking bullsh*T
how often have u seen a batsman sledging a fielder
its is always the other way around
since bhajji was doing awesome and sh*TTed on ponting for the fourth time this series - they want him out
god dam it another umpiring mistake — the god dam umpires didnt even hear anything so how can they even prove such comments
- I like your last sentence :
“You may have won 16th straight test but it really sucks!!!!!”
Its siply absurd. Ausis is a very strong team but they are the worst loosers. And come on ban for 3 tests on Harbajan is NONESENSE.
I think - That is correct.
I personally think that they should not play the next match as protest.
RIcky Ponting and crew has stooped to new low. They have shown that they will go any extent to win a match.
I am honestly pissed about ban against Bhajji for the simple reason that umpires did not hear anything and Sachin came out and stated that it was just regular exchange between players.
At the very least, I, as contributor to the sucess of the game (regular supporter, buying expensive packages and staying up late at night) need and deserve to know what the evidence is.
I think Bhajee is passionate but not stupid to tread the fine line. He is experienced player with lot of class.
Shame to Ricky Ponting, Symonds, Buckanoor, ICC and BCCI (to ICC and BCCI for not taking proper stand). Bhajhi should hire his own laywer
- Just wanna say CRICKET AUS HAS LOST TODAY IN SPITE OF WINNING!PONTING IS A REAL LOOSER AS HE WAS SCARED OF BHAJJI
- wrong
- I’m an Indian but I would like to say….Why don’t you guys think about it from a sports perspective rather than giving emotional thoughts? It happens in every sports. You are not always luckier. Stop applying dirty politics and tricks to spoil your own reputation. Look around, Chelsea, McClaren, SriLanka etc does the same. So do Australian Cricket team. And so do Indian Cricket team. Noone is perfect. Do what you can on the pitch and don’t put yourself in such an awkward situation. That’s the best. 35-40 years old, still not mature? That’s a shame. The reality is bhajji brought a shame to the team and to the country (bcoz he was caught). Try to improve the game and defeat them if you can.
Honestly, Its too bad to see that 90% of the questions posted in this section are directed towards criticism of australian cricket team and umpires.
- ONCE AGAIN, no proof against bhajji
out of the 5 (except symonds himself) didnt hear anything themselves, BUT STILL, The match referee went with Ricky ponting and Michael Clarke on their Face value… meaning that he trusted the 2 forgetting what happened with Ganguly or when Ricky ponting didnt walk out when he was caught behind at 13..
- u r totally correct!!
Bhajji should not be banned…….i think pure match fixing is going on in Australia…..only Indians r suffering….thats unfair….i just wish that Aus dont even win a single match from now on……..even if its not against India!!!!
AND I AM SURE THAT BHAJJI DID NOT MAKE ANY RACIST REMARKS……..AND EVEN IF HE DID…..TONNES OF LOVE TO HIM…..AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS DESERVE IT!!!!! - U know what in otday;s workd is someone says something correct, he is always punished though I still feel he insulted monkeys by calling symond a monkey.
- Yep…he is gone from this series….
Well playedWho cares about the spirit….Aussies have no spirit and no
courtesy to guests….they are ruthless in all aspects both on
the field and off the field too…Have Ponting to shut his big mouth and let the ball take the
bat. Now Ponting will score 100s one after the other and
claim we are the worlds best….No matter how you win the
character will never be wiped off…. - What a shame
- is the world really so PC it’s calling the use of the word ‘monkey’ racist? yes, it’s an insult, but for goodness sakes, how on earth can you be sure it’s a racist one? it could be insulting andrew symonds intelligence for all we or he knew.
when the blackcaps make a claim against an australian’s bowling action, they’re laughed at, but when the australian’s make a claim the player is banned for three tests. what absolute rubbish.
after symonds didn’t walk when he was caught behind, there were a lot of names i would’ve liked to have called him too. yet he gets away with calling jacob oram ‘this bastard’ on live television. actual evidence, but he’s not banned. how is that in the spirit of the game? just because a player is doing well.
the ockers can’t stand the taste of their own medicine. i hope the indians take it to them in the form of winning the next two tests.
at least this controversy has overshadowed
- No, I think BCCI must take few actions, my suggestions:
- Call team
- refuse any match with Ausies unless they apologies and ICC lifts ban on Harbhajan Singh.
- Form a Cricket control board in Indian Sub continent with Pak, Srilanka andWe need to make sure that we do something to protect the interests of Team
- noooooooooooo
- If Harbhajan is banned for 3 tests, then should Ricky Ponting be thrown out completely….???
- If he called him a monkey then it’s fair.
The problem is that when Ponting confirmed a catch his word was taken, but then when Sachin said that this was a normal bit of banter his word was seemingly ignored.
- If what was said is true then Singh should be banned for life.
Who do the Indians think they are saying they are going to boycott the rest of the series there is no way in hell that this type of action should even be considered.
This is international cricket and people are going to do all they can to win.
India really need to get over themselves I am not saying what Australia has done is 100% correct but if India keep harping on then they are the ones not playing to the spirit of the game.
This is sport there are winners and losers, some things don’t go your way but it is how you bounce back from it.
- it’s not a correct thing…..i agree with kumble’s answer because the umpire should not ask the captian if he has doubt means he should ask the fielder….or else he should give to the third umpire….
- yes he is win 3 tests
harbajan is a good player
i hope
ok thank you bye bye. - This is not an Indian Law that you can appeal to the higher court?
- Dear, it is very bad in my view .because ICC decisions is not core ct .Fast i thing ICC will core ct their empire’s and then take any decision again Indian player’s. it is very shame full decision again Indian .India always play as player but other country try to cricket a shameful thing .
- The Ban is absolutely correct.The judgement given by the panel must be respected.Likes of Bhajji,Sreesanth are bringing disrepute to Indian cricket and the game is being hijacked by such trivial matters rather than performance on field.
- NO, THIS IS WRONG Shame! Shame! Shame!
