Sorry mate, bollocks.
Go talk to soccer players in Europe about what being called a "monkey" means.
Have a look at the vision from the tour of India which shows the crowds harassing Symonds with monkey chants which could be for no other reason than him being black.
"How come monkey between kangaroos".
Funny how when it was happening over there in India it was offensive and racist and the Indians should be ashamed of their actions and their board should be ashamed of covering it up.
I can't see how the feeling changed between then and Symonds claiming Harbijhan had done it again.
Furthermore, the boos continue as the whole situation again reflected India's arrogance towards the game.
Actually, here's something to add to this list of things which sh*t me.
The BCCI stepping in and saying Australia would be sorry if it called off the tour to Pakistan and that they should face sanctioning if they do. This coming just a month after the Indians had threatened to call off their Australian tour half way through if they didn't get the umpire they wanted and all charges against Angel Harbi dropped.
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.
