Where are the burning effigies now?
Harbhajan Singh slapped his opponent, Shanthakumaran Sreesanth (from now on he will be known as SS) in the face. I am anxious to see how this all turns out, I am very concerned about the reaction from those “crazy” Indian fans against the violent Singh. After all when he was in Australia and broke
the rules he got suspended (later overturned) and the Indians went nuts burning our flag and effigies of Andrew Symonds and Ricky Ponting. Now this complete simpleton has slapped an opponent in the face and not a thing have we heard from these radical fans, not a squirt of petrol, not a stomping of a flag not a chant of death nothing but a resounding silence.
I would love to have seen what happened to Andrew Symonds had he slapped SS rather than Harbhjan. I am pretty confident he would already be banned from the entire competition. And what punishment has Singh been handed for his efforts you ask? One match, to be reviewed in an inquiry on Monday. One match!! Barry Hall got more for getting head butted in the knuckles! What does Singh have to say about this? “It is not such a big issue the way people are making it out to be,” he said. “It is between me and ‘Sree’. “What you’re showing on TV, it is between us.”
This is an outrage and these corrupt curry munchers who are running the game are ruining the game. I assume common sense will prevail and Singh will receive a more suitable suspension on Monday. If not I may just stoop to their level and burn a few flags and effigies of my own.
The other bad part about this was SS’s reaction. This sort of thing doesn’t happen everyday but you would expect a different reaction than a grown man balling his eyes out. Personally I have been slapped in the face (possibly deservingly), I have been punched, kicked, spat on, burnt and had things pegged at me but since the age of 19 I have been able to control the tears (Ok except for that one time I got to Hungry Jacks and they were shut). Even Brandt Snedeker runner up in the Masters last week could not front a press conference due to his emotional state.
Come on guys, its not like your drunk and can’t control your emotions. If your sober, no one has died and I see you crying then you are in for a treatment in pain courtesy of Notasmartman.com. Consider it your 15 minutes!
Yes but it is a competition in India so I don’t think its a racial issue. You yourself are a bit racist there calling them curry munchers. Prefer you kept these type of comments to yourself.
If the cricketers are happy to deal with it themselves, what’s the problem SJ? I see that as a positive move.
How exactly are the administrators from the sub-continent ruining our game?? They are showing magnificent levels of innovation! The best of the best vs the best of the best. It has been an entertainment spectacle unsurpassed in world cricket to date. It is growing the cricket market. What have we done to grow the market? It has set the benchmark for us Aussies to try and reach.
Your dead right. Its one set of rules for them and another set for the rest of us. Warney took his 12 month ban on the chin or chins and Harbanjan should be punished and be forced to endure the punishment like anyone else. Not 12 months but he should be forced to sit out more than one 20-20 game thats stupid!
Rob B, it isn’t racist to call people something that they eat. You can call me a pie muncher and I would give a hoot, I supose you would get upset if we called you a dick muncher……
Got him! YEAH!!!
What have we done to grow the market?????
Where do you think one day cricket came from?
What do you think our cricketers have been doing on the sub-continent?…..junior development and giving the local hookers business
Australia has done more for cricket in the last 20 years than any other country. Look how many kids idolise members of the Aust cricket team.
FFS man….where have you been!
Jethro…you’re spot on with Harbanjan’s ‘claytons’ suspension. To see Warney sitting on the sideline for 1 year and Harbanjan for 1 game was a farce
Jethro, you disappoint me. Why have you pretended to be an idiotic witless rubbish-posting bevan all this time, when you are actually a very clever funny individual??? Where has this golden humour been hiding??
Velcrap, you never disappoint me. At least with you I know what to expect each & every post…….BORING UNINTELLIGENT ANGRY DRIVEL!!
