Pathetic article.
He didn't refute any of the claims, just whinged that they were being made.
He should've argued that the pitches weren't a disgrace, that would've been interesting.

JM you absolutely detest australia dont you?? You seem to whinge about a lot of very minor things just to make yourself look cool and a rebel.
I mean.. for Sunny to have a cry about an aussie saying "hiya buddy" how pathetic is that?? Did he expect the aussies to take their clothes off and pray to the fat indian daydreamer Puwar?

I don't detest Australia. I think it is the best country in the world.
To me you stink of an American-style blinded patriot. I'm happy to comment on the poor behaviour of those representing us. You defend anything an Australian does to the absolute hilt.

And again, you prove the point I made in this thread.

No suprise, the Australian cricketers represent the Australian people; alot of whom (as proved in this thread) harbour racist beliefs - no matter how they try to underplay them or dismiss their racism as "larrikan" humour.
Pretty poor effort all round.

who cares? he was really just filling paper space on a slow day. As for the underlying racism on this board/in australia, well, you should try living in Europe/Asia/america/canada/etc/etc...

Seems to me everytime a african or asian nation\organisation gets criticism it is turned into a racism issue to deflect the way that country or organisation is being run. Or in this case their non performance on the field.
If India wants to be considered a world power in sport or politics it should stop hiding behind the colour issue .
You can't keep throwing up old colonial arguments and lack of respect when you then turn around and back\prop up Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe just because it is "non white" .
Haven't been to India since the 80's can someone tell me how the caste system is travelling ?

It's Ok for India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka to form their own "bloc" based on race, but everyone else is racist. I get it-not.

And as we all know, Australians are the only people in the whole world who are racist right? Other countries are just perfect in every way. :rolleyes:
Other countries attack Australia with racist accusation because they can't beat us ON the field, where it really matters.

Give it a little thought,
Indians, Pakistanis and Sri Lankans ARE NOT THE SAME RACE.

If you think those 3 countries are all in bed together you might want to buy and read a newspaper sometime..
another moronic article attempting to make us all feel bad :rolleyes:
edit
I read it again - it is actually pointless as well as moronic - its a "look at me I can write a 500 word essay and get it printed" article

Australia is the most racist country, and the fact that you all deny being racist proves my point exactly. If there is one thing I can not tolerate it is Racism.
