[quote]The whole world watched Andrew Symonds utter a few words at Ishant Sharmaas he walked away after being bowled by the youngster, and Ishant retaliating by pointing towards the pavilion.
While Ishant was certainly in breach of clause 1.6 of the ICC Code of conduct, Symonds provocative action that started it all seems to have gone unpunished yet again. Rohit Sharma was also fined 10 per cent of his match fee for just standing his ground and walking off shaking his head during Gabba ODI against Sri Lanka on February 4.
Do you think the match referees pick on Indians and are generally soft on Aussies? Why is it that it's an Indian player who is always at the receiving end of match referees' actions? Could it be possible that the strong arm tactics deployed by the BCCI against ICC and other officials, as exemplified by the Harbhajan episode, mean that several officials are raring to have a go at the Indians?

Bitterness creeps in again, India lodge complaint
[quote]HOBART, February 25: The bitterness in the relationship between Indian and Australian cricketers has again crept in with the Indian team management on Monday lodging a written complaint with the Match Referee about the provocative behaviour of the home team.
The Indians, whose tour of Australia have been marked by a racism row and a series of on-field altercations, have threatened to take a "befitting action" if Ricky Ponting and his men persisted with such behaviour.
"We have written to the Match Referee Jeff Crowe and we will take a befitting action if it continued" Indian team manager Vimal Soni said.[/quote]

I think time has come to play fire with fire. If we need to use our financial power again then let it be...waise going to final and winning there would be the best reply.
