Is Symonds being spiteful or is CA spineless ?

Answer 1

Symonds is being spiteful, but......if CA were spineless or cautious.. given the contentious atmosphere and disputable evidence is another story.

I notice Symonds is trying the "racism" angle once again. He should rather be thankful to the country that offered him opportunities !

Answer 2

well theretically The CA had no choice but to oblige to the BCCI, as they are by far the richest board in the world, and moreover what ever india does, Bangladesh, pakistan, sri lanka and west indies tend to follow, so it was too much at risk for CA.

Plus the amount of money the CA makes when india plays against them is huge.

moreover, Bhaji didnt even call symonds a monkey, he said a hindi word which was Ma kee, which is an insult to one mother. So The CA should of properly understood it, and not listen to a fool like Symonds, so good on them.

Answer 3

I thought that CA backed down too easily at the time. They should have allowed India to strop off home and d**n the financial consequences.

Answer 4

yes Harbajan Should have been punished ,instead CA obligeding to BCCI

Answer 5

both Symonds and CA  were wrong, firstly the accusation was imposed on Harbhajan wrongly and secondly CA backing out once the wrong accusation was already imposed , two wrongs can never make a right !
