Precisely.

HTF would you two know what happens out in the middle?

One, knowing what happened in the middle has nothing to do with what TO said, and my support of what TO said. Two, I see the way the Hair handles things. I said before on C4 that I wouldn't trust the man to organize a root in a brothel, he's that bad a manager of a game of cricket. Three, as for the specific question of knowing what happens in the middle, even if I think it does not have anything to do with this case, how did some Australian forummers know what happened in the middle between Harbhajan and Symonds that they took such strong positions on the affair?

Furry, if you care to read back, no Aussies "took a strong stand" against Harbｙ. The consensus was IF he were to be found guilty on evidence, throw the book at him. When he was banned based on on evidence from Clarke and Hayden, we thought it was wrong.

The Indians, however, were not so fair in their outlook.

Yes, horrie. Sometimes I'm too cryptic for my own good. But don't let that bother you, no one will accuse you of NSR anymore.
