Symonds Monkey, Ponting Crook
I have been away for a long time and have been forced today to return because of the gross behavior with the country's representatives in Aussie land.
A lot has been said and written since the first day of the match and I am not going to add a lot to it. Though I am going to put my thoughts a little differently.
We all know that Ponting is a crook and I am sure each and every umpire around the world knows the nature of all the players in the international arena. We all also know that Andrew Symonds is a typical ill-mannered गाँव वाला who has no morals, mannerisms and even a decent upbringing. His behavior seems as if he has been pulled in from the jungle into civilization. There was a shot during the match when Sachin hit a century and only Gilchrist and Clarke were the ones who gave the semblance of applauding the feat... the rest of the Aussie team were not interested in it and Symonds behaved as if he doesn't know what has happened. Hence HE deserves to be called a MONKEY... just because his mannerisms make it seem that he has just been brought down from the trees in the jungle.
Ricky Ponting is a BIG CROOK... its not the first time that he has cheated... he even lashed out at the reporters when he was probed. http://www.rediff.com/cricket/2008/jan/06rick.htm
when the whole Aussie media gets hostile to any visiting team.
Latest is that Mr Speed, head of ICC is defending the umpires http://www.rediff.com/cricket/2008/jan/06speed.htm
I don't feel that there is going to be any retribution for the way Indian interest was quashed in Sydney because the BCCI and its head being spineless and gutless.

The indian team and board are demonstrating the diplomatic of a child.
Something doesn't go your way so you kick and scream and tell your daddy to fix the problem.
The fact is the aussies will always push the rules and the spirit of the game to the limit. The Indians think its fine to obviously cross the line then throw up smoke screens.
The Aussies are confident in their undoubted ability to win from anywhere. The Indians are arrogant in that they are exagerating their own worth or skill in an overbearing manner by weight of shear numbers and dollars from the BCCI.
disgusting.
I wonder who is that.
Anyway, I am just trying to say that the Aussies are hypocrites and they are the ones who are running to the ICC when someone has retorted back to them this time. Aussies are the inventors of sledging ... remember Steve Waugh's "Mental Disintegration" comment... and now when the Indian team is giving it back to them they are cribbing and complaining where the Indians were always supposed to take it in stride and leave it all on the field.
It seems to me as if you are saying that whatever the Aussies do is always pushing of rules and limits and spirit of the game but never cross it and the Indians in just a single instance have crossed it. That is exactly the double standard which the cricketing world is suffering from and which needs to be corrected.
Rashid Latif was banned for 5 matches by the same Mike Procter when in a test match he claimed a catch that had been grassed but Mike doesn't find anything wrong in the catches of Ponting, who grounded the ball while completing his dive and appealed for the catch and Clarke who first picked the ball off the ground and then grounded it again while completing his dive. So what if the players had agreed earlier that they will take the fielder's word on catches. The match referee still has a duty to correct the wrongs of the game.
In the current debate as well, there is absolutely no proof that the line was crossed. Its basically Aussies' word against the Indians' and Aussies have been called to be telling the truth.
What a bigger evidence of double standards can you have.
