Symonds racially abused by Indian crowd

Freal

"The only black member of the national side was taunted by the crowd which made monkey noises at him during the latter stages of the Indian innings."


Umm, those actually were monkeys.

If true, its really pathetic thing to do for any crowd. Though its not others' fault, but it'd be fitting that BCCI blacklists IPCL ground for somewhile due to this incident.

I don't think it is true!

The only black member of the national side was taunted by the crowd
which made monkey noises at him during the latter stages of the Indian
innings.

Damn, I was planning to do that to the Indians and Lankans this summer...now the idea is taken...

The Filo school of reasoning?

I'd say so...

As long as I watched the TV, there was no untoward happening. And what kind of racial abuse can Symond get from Indians?

Who has reported this?

FFS, have you looked at the link?

So the only racism is white people abusing black/asian people?

I went to a few games when south africa were out here, i didn't hear one racist comment nor did i see anything like that on tv, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen im sure it did.

So tell me, who reported it?

Erm it's in the story in the link...have a look...it's reported to be a CA official.

Read the link.

Yes. I have looked at at it. And I know how misleading Australian media are when a little back slap on Greg Chappell was reported as "Greg Chappell assaulted!"

And what do you say about this fabricated news from Aussie media:

Further fuelling the negative feeling surrounding this series was an attack on the Australian team bus in the aftermath of the visitors' victory in the third one-day international in Hyderabad on Friday. A rock was hurled through the window of the bus from the side of the road. No players or staff were injured, but shards of glass entered the cabin and it rattled all those on board. Local police are investigating the matter.

Nothing of this sort EVER happened because the electronic media is looking out for such sensational news. And if that related to cricket, we'd have been hearing about it till now.

On the contrary, no such incident was reported anywhere here!

So if the Indian media ignore it, it never happened. Nice. Are you related to filosofee?

Local police are investigating it, but it didn't happen?

Well, I guess they're used to that.

The incident NEVER happened, Lardy. I wonder why Aussie media fabricated this news?

And I think Fox news is much like Times Of India here which keeps on reporting things when there are none or if there are any, they exaggerate it 1000 times more to catch attention.

To be fair, there's been nothing about it on cricinfo and it's a pretty big thing to go unreported.


The racism could very well be true though. There's no reason to not believe it because you were watching tv.

Chandan:

Hadn't seen the story before you alluded to it here.

Where was it published?
