Sunny: I'm a clueless canute, look at me
I know people "interview" Sunny to get a headline but FFS, doesn't he have some desire not to look like a twit.
Apologies if this has already been mentioned - I couldn't find any reference to it.
Don't blame Harby, says Gavaskar
By Jon Pierek
September 08, 2008 INDIA great Sunil Gavaskar has opened old wounds by declaring Andrew Symonds has no right to blame Harbhajan Singh for being booted out of the Australia team.
Symonds's mental meltdown in Darwin, which prompted him to go fishing rather than attend a team meeting and later give team management a verbal spray, has privately been blamed on a culmination of issues he has dealt with this year.
There was none bigger than the racial row with Harbhajan last summer when the India spinner was accused of labelling Symonds a "monkey" during the Sydney Test.
The racial abuse charge was later downgraded to verbal abuse, mystifying Symonds and his teammates who blamed Cricket Australia for kowtowing to pressure from the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
Gavaskar has always been willing to raise the ire of Australia's cricketers, and has done so again by claiming Symonds was lucky to escape without punishment from the Harbhajan incident after a hearing with Justice John Hansen.
"Some in the Australian media are making the excuse Symonds is nursing a grievance against Cricket Australia for downgrading the charge against Harbhajan to verbal abuse and not racial slur as a reason for (his problems)," Gavaskar said.
"They are blaming Cricket Australia for bowing to pressure from the Indian board when the facts are very simple. Once the video and audio recording had been stripped of other voices and sounds, it showed nothing racial. Cricket Australia knew that the charge could not stand before a qualified judge.
"The next step was to salvage something, to get Harbhajan to agree to a lower charge of verbal abuse which he did despite the fact that it was Symonds who started it all with his language.
"It was the Indian who got punished and Symonds got away with a rap on the knuckles from Judge Hansen."
Symonds's latest indiscretion means he won't take part in next month's Test series in India.
The troubled all-rounder is still weighing up his future, with friends close to him believing he may quit.
If he wants to play on, he must undergo a rehabilitation course prescribed by CA before resuming.

Re: Sunny: I'm a clueless canute, look at me
Sunil is an unabashed racist and harbours a bitterness towards Aussies. He's not the greatest role model himself having threatened to walk off the ground, and he made it almost to the pavilion in a fit of pique at a supposedly poor LBW decision.

Has a point though. If he blamed prior incidents for his stupidity now, Symonds is an even bigger idiot than he looks.

Bitter Aussie sooks.
But of course these are Aussies, they cannot possibly sook.

100% correct?
He linked the so-called bad behaviour of Aussie players to the death of David Hookes. Was that in good taste?
He accused Mike Procter of giving the white man's word more weight in the sordid Harbi saga.
He tried to have Barry Richards sacked as a commentator for being racist.
He and his partner decided to walk off the ground because he was severely chagrined by what he perceived to be an incorrect umpiring decision.

You have got many of the facts as a distorted version here but I'm not going to discuss about those in this thread.
Here in this instance he is 100% correct. And if you are will to discuss it then tell me why do you think it is not 100% correct!

Sunny's facts are as distorted as Red's ...they are his interpretation of what happened ...go back to January's threads and re-read the arguments ...all opinions there are just different interpretations of the same facts with a bit of nationalistic bias thrown in

I'm not blaming Red for those distorted facts. Actually She will know only what the Australian media will write.
But tell me where is Gavaskar wrong here? He might have been OTT on many matters but not here.
