Harbhajan and Ishant fined 50%

The story goes that Harbhajan and Ishant Sharma have been fined 50% of their match fees. It would appear that these two Indians were behind Australia's loss to Srilanka on Friday at MCG.

We have all heard of the cults and the evil forces. It seems like these two people paid a voodoo specialist to create dolls of Clarke, Ponting, Symonds, Haddin, and Hussey, which were subsequently handed over to Muttiah Muralitharan...

This is the first reported occurrence of such an incident, and was unheard of in cricket, until now. But there we go...

Harbhajan fined 25% match fees for disrespecting

In the last match against Srilanka, i.e. 11th Match: India v Sri Lanka at Hobart - Feb 26, 2008, Harbhajan tossed the ball high in the air, and then tried to 'football' it, after taking the last wicket.

With the type of things happening in this tour, it would come as least surprise that poor harbhajan has been fined for that action i.e. disrespecting the ball as per clause 420 of ICC :-)

While on the topic, thinking about Hayden's remark, it speaks volumes about him. What kind of person says such a thing against another, leave aside the fact that you have to play with the same person.

Whatever happened to the gentleman's game, I am not certain.

I am sure critics will point me to the supposedly racist remarks made by Harbhajan. But, having lived in democratic institutions and by the law, I believe in one thing - If it cannot be proved by hard facts, it is best to leave it at that.

On the other hand, we all know what Hayden's remarks were - they were on radio. I will leave it to you to decide....

Imperialist India...

Its news like this that make me laugh. An australian wary of an Indian Imperialist organization. I think history lessons are due for some people. :-)
