India refused to accept the verdict, South Africa backed them and then refused Denness entry to the ground for the next Test. The ICC had to deem the game a 'five-day friendly' instead of a Test.
Now Procter is in the
eye of the storm after finding
Harbhajan guilty of one of the most reviled offences in sport. 'I am South African and I understand the word racism,' he said by way of justification on Monday.
It is a brave call because the umpires did not hear what was said between Harbhajan and Symonds, Australia captain Ricky Ponting reporting the spinner to Bucknor and Benson when Symonds and Matt Hayden told him what
Harbhajan is alleged to have said.
The only other player in ear-shot was Tendulkar, who was batting with Harbhajan and backs his team-mate. The ICC's problem, in the absence of audio evidence, will be proving the claim in the face of Indian intimidation. Essentially,
t was then that India fans were accused of making monkey noises at Symonds and bad feeling has barely been beneath the surface in the current series. If Harbhajan is guilty — and surely this is not something Symonds would make up — then the book needs to be thrown at him and the ICC, for once, have to stand up to India.
if you honestly don't think australian players don't think indian players can get away with nothing is deluded and in reality that thinking has spread to other teams.
it is a fact australian players don't like the way CA handled the matter or how ICC dropped the case.
It is pretty care that teams/players don't think the punishment is the same for all players, why else would so many people around the world claim bias.
