Tuesday Talk

Sydney's Daily Telegraph reported that a spectator had shouted: "Give us a wave Monty. You can't speak English you stupid Indian, I'll have to say it in Indian. What are you doing playing in the English side, you're not English!...."
One more Racial slur from the colorful Australian crowd.

Here is a note on Australia’s history. The mainland Australia has been inhabited for more than 42,000 years by the natives. After sporadic visits by fishermen from the north and by European explorers and merchants starting in the seventeenth century, the eastern half of the mainland was claimed by the British in 1770 and officially settled through penal transportation [underline this] as the colony of New South Wales on 26 January 1788. What is this Penal transportation?, it was the deporting of convicted criminals to a penal colony, such as in Australia, typically from countries such as the United Kingdom (including Ireland).

So my dear moronic spectator Dude, like you checked Panesar ‘s origin, we checked your origin and you know what - we found that it really stinks more than a skunk’s 1 & 2 & 3.

Just yesterday South African Captain Smith warned Panesar about the ”color” music [like Chin music] that he would face in Australia. I do not agree to the argument that it is just an handful of rowdy fans yadayada…it seems there are strict laws in Australia against such behaviors, it does look like the law does not seem to work! I am sure because this is not first time, South Africans, Sri Lankans have gone through racial crowd behaviors. When Indian toured Australia Indian fans had to face racial slurs from a section of Australian crowd , Indians were called Coolies by these esteemed “Racial rowdies” of Australia.

What else you can expect, after all they managed to push the top BCCI official from the dais in the name of celebration and got away by saying I am “Soorry”. I wonder how the Aussie media react if an Indians does this to an Australian? . Remember Gangully’s famous T-Shrit strip celebration that got thrashings from all corners. Apologies apart, the “bad boys” “bad boys” image is being well maintained by Ponting’s men and now the crowd also joins the funs and the free ride.

A very interesting point to note is - English team now has something totally new to deal with – A spokesman for the England team has said "We have come out here to play the game with dignity, and we expect the Australian fans will show the sportsmanship they are renowned for and hope they will respect the players both on and off the field." Whatever!...Cricket Australia should be ashamed.

Do you know the comedy, team India’s formal wardrobe did not travel with them! , it seems the administrators had told the players not to get any formal cloths as it would be provided by the Sponsors , however the world richest sporting body failed to get organized, players were left to be in their informal cloths., Thank god they carried informal cloths. Cricinfo quotes,. “It was one that should have been avoided by the world's richest cricket board which is already under fire for getting things spot-on when it comes to marketing and commercial aspects but failing to make the grade when it comes to other things. Attempts to contact both Niranjan Shah, the board's honorary board secretary and Prof Shetty late on Monday evening failed. “ BCCI’s Pathetic legacy continues.

To conclude, I was browsing Google news, saw these headlines..Huh!.
Chappell says “Dravid is not my puppet, he runs the show”, he also added that Kumble up for the cup. The word “Cup” is defined differently around collage circles.
"Dravid defends batsmen" - , Why anything Dravid does is related to "Defense".?

Good day.
