These guys are sportsmen not holders of PhD’s in Sociology and experts on cultural diversity- they are going to drop some clangers- as I am sure everyone does (a language difference helps).
Finally who says you cannot address you in your terms- call me whatever you like, so long as it is not racially derived it is all water off a ducks back.

Thank God someone picked up on the article. Just for your interest, I actually emailed Russell Gould about the article and he responded! I must admit I was pretty much banging my head against the wall when I read it.

Umpires make mistakes. Can all of you state, hand on heart that never in recent times has India one due to poor umpiring decision? An impartial count had the errors 4-8 to India’s disadvantage, is this enough to swing the game? Maybe, maybe not, that is the thing about Cricket we will never know.
Ponting caught and controlled the ball therefore he claimed the catch- If the umpire had explained that he may have had control of the ball, but the rules state that he must be in control himself(ie not airborne) before the catch can be awarded I am sure he would have taken it in good grace.
I personally feel that this has been blown out of all proportion- if you want to complain how about the fact that Australian pitches are no longer Australian pitches they are all low and flat like sub-continental pitches, that the only reason that this is as much of an issue is the fact that it is India and the BCCI is the most powerful body in Cricket- If the same thing had happenned to the Zimbabwean team and they threatened to boycott wouldn’t the ICCC have pulled them in to line? If Australia had threatened to Boycott a tour of India because of a few dody calls, you would all…. have reacted exactly the same way….it is all Australia’s fault they are (insert chosen terms of condemnation).
And now everyone is saying batsmen should walk- bloody hell! Glichrist got in to all kinds of trouble from every angle when he started walking!! The flip side of that of course is if batsmen should walk, does that mean they should stand their ground after a poor decision….didn’t think so.

Rant over- lets just see some more great cricket!

Darren Lehmann served a suspension of 5 ODI games. I haven’t forgotten. He admitted his guilt and served his punishment.

Lets focus on your player please?

Have you forgotten Darren Lehmann?

Let’s not sit on high pedestals please?

Jason Gillespie is Aboriginal.

And last I checked it was one of your players accused of racisim. But I understand that any criticism of an Indian is clearly a racist comment. You must get along well with the Japanese, who are accusing Australia of racism because we object to whaling.
