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.
