As reported on cricinfo (http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ipl/content/current/story/347604.html):
Sources close to him said that after the match a smiling Sreesanth walked up to Harbhajan - the captain of the losing Mumbai Indians - and said "Hard luck". "That was enough for Harbhajan to lose his cool and hit Sreesanth under the eye," said sources close to the fast bowler.
What an absolute joke of a man. A racist, bad sport who lashes out at his own. :rolleyes:
Looks like big Matty Hayden was actually being polite when he called this bloke an obnoxious little weed.
Hope the IPL shows some balls and does something about this.
Seems to me like the whole Indian side is pissed of a him now ... Tendulkar even rang him and blasted him.

Harbs apparently apologised to so he obviously did do it.
Should just be suspended for a year and forgotten about.
I think he should be commended for introducing a new feature to the IPL - the biff. :D
Just reading through some of the Indian forums and a lot of the Indian fans have turned against him as well.

Its not surprising that people will turn against him if he acts this way.
Its all well and good to be up in the face of the Aussies when you tour here, niggling and being competitive but he has done so much wrong now its becoming a farce.
I thought his racist taunts were the depths of his disgraceful behaviour, but this is another thing all together. What a loser.
I have a lot of time for the Indian side, but this guy damages their reputation badly. I spose the Aussie team arent immune from disgrace, but when was the last time one of our blokes smacked one of his team mates?
And the other wanker Shoaib also slapped one of his teammates.
Harbi is an antagonist and in the last test against SA he tried to stir up Prince but he ignored him. Had it have been a more fiery character there could have been problems.
This wanker is the common denominator in conflict.

I think it's been clear to all for a long time that Harby has mental and psychological issues.
He just can't behave like a normal human being.
If he wasn't a cricketer, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a criminal.

I've always hated him. When I was chosing an IPL team I made sure I didn't barrack for Mumbai because of him.
Needs to be sacked by the Indian Cricket team. I don't know how the team members would be able to deal with one of their members being abused by the other. Should go and live with Shoab Aktar. They would make a great couple.
Harbi trying to sweep it under the carpet but Indian board might take some action.
New Delhi - India spinner Harbhajan Singh could face disciplinary action following reports he slapped compatriot Shanthakumaran Sreesanth at an Indian Premier League (IPL) game.
Television pictures showed Sreesanth sobbing at the end of the game late on Friday after his Mohali team defeated Mumbai, which is captained by Harbhajan.
The Hindustan Times daily reported that Harbhajan had slapped the young fast bowler.
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Niranjan Shah said the spinner had been asked to explain his actions.
"The BCCI condemns the behaviour of Harbhajan Singh as a contracted player of the board and he is called upon to explain why disciplinary action should not be taken against him and has been asked for clarification by Monday evening," he said in a statement.
In a tour of Australia this year, the spinner was initially banned for three tests after being found guilty of making racist remarks against all rounder Andrew Symonds. He was subsequently let off with a fine on a lesser charge following an appeal.
"It was unacceptable what happened," Mohali captain Yuvraj Singh told reporters after the match. "Harbhajan came back to the dressing room and apologised to Sreesanth."
Harbhajan said the media were trying to sensationalise the issue. "It is not such a big issue the way people are making it out to be," he told television channels. "It is between me and Sree. What you're showing on TV, it is between us."

Finally the BCCi has come down on this idiot racist and clown.
Interesting that there is a racist tinge to this. He racially abuses an Australian twice and the BCCI defends him, but he hits a fellow Indian and they come down on him.
Mabye the Indians should threaten to go home. Oh thats right :rolleyes:

Media beatup. Much like the Symonds issue where it turns out that a monkey is a revered creature in India, not a racist taunt, it turns out that Sreesanth too is revered by Harbi. Harbi was in fact 'spanking the monkey'.
Completely understandable.

thats partly a good thing - they see him for the d-head he really is
Amazing...
Guys like Sreesanth and Harby are all too happy to dish it out and then complain when something happens but when up against eachother it turns violent. Makes us look pretty mild

Effective immediately, Harby has been temporarily suspended from the IPL:

What an idiot. Ban him for a couple of years.
I loved his fire and passion, getting under cricket fans skin during the Australian tour. But enough is enough, he can turn the ball like there is no tomorrow but the fact remains he is a twat of the highest order.

All those people so desperate to defend Harbhajan throughout his tour of Australia would be feeling very silly right now.
This guy is an objectionable tool who should be banned from world cricket before he does something everyone will regret.
I just wonder if his Indian team mates will be so quick in future to defend him. I would guess not.
What a ____ing tosser Harby is. Sreesanth should have stomped his ass.

Lay off Harby! Didn't you read the original article! Sreesanth was smiling at him, which implies that he may have been celebrating the win. As we all learnt during the summer, that's not acceptable behaviour and this intemperate Sikh Warrior should not be held accountable for his actions in the face of such provocation!

Exactly, according to Roebuck, we should be lenient with him because he's nothing more than an intemperate Sikh Warrior striving to feed his family.

Huge brawl? I hardly think seeing Haydos or Symonds demolish another team would be considered a brawl. Would love to see the results of Harbi punching one of those two.

They've lost interest now that they can't blame our XI.

I'd love to hear the next game he plays with an Aussie in the side.

I'd just like to know why it was quite acceptable to the Indians for Harbhajan to behave like a lunatic in Australia, but the moment he steps out of line in the IPL they suspend him.

I'll take sledging any day over physical attacks. I wonder if the ICC will suddenly realise that sledging isn't half as bad as it has been made out to be, and perhaps some of the recent sledging by Australia might of been retalitory.
Cricket should never, ever result in phsical blows, now thats one thing that is against the spirit of the game. Wonder if any Cricketer will accuse Harbi of that ala Kumble after the Sydney test?

BCCI are launching an investigation into his assault given he is a contracted Indian player. They said the IPL ban will have little relevance when deciding the appropriate punishment.
I think they have classified this as a grade 4 offense, speculation of a 10 game ODI ban or 5 test match ban.

Harbhajan Footage Shocks BCCI Chief
May 06 2008
http://images.cricket365.com/08/04/247/Harbhajan_Singh_827197.jpg Harbhajan - banned for 11 games.
The commissioner appointed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India to look into the altercation between Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth has branded the footage of the incident "shocking".
Mumbai Indians off-spinner Harbhajan was banned for the remainder of the Indian Premier League tournament after he slapped the Kings XI Punjab bowler at the end of their match in Mohali on April 25.
The BCCI ordered a separate inquiry into the incident with Sudhir Nanavati, an Ahmedabad-based lawyer, appointed the commissioner and asked to file a report within 15 days.
Nanavati, who has issued summons to the two players, on Tuesday saw the footage as part of the inquiry and expressed his dismay at the incident.
"What I saw was shocking but it has made my job easier. It will also help me in my further investigation," he told Times Now as he emerged from the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai.
IPL chairman Lalit Modi, board secretary Niranjan Shah and joint secretary M P Pandove were with him when he saw the footage.
Nanavati is expected to submit his report to Modi on Monday after quizzing the two India players.
"I have summoned them. They have been told to come either on Friday or Saturday. Harbhajan will be coming on Friday. Sreesanth is yet to confirm a date," he said.
Nanavati has recorded the statement of match referee Farokh Engineer and is expected to speak to Mumbai Indians coach Lalchand Rajput soon.
"I have already recorded the statement of one of the umpires of the match, Amiesh Saheba," Nanavati added.
Saheba was handed a two-match suspension for criticising Sreesanth's behaviour during the Mohali match in an interview with a Mumbai-based tabloid. Saheba later clarified to the BCCI that he never gave any such interview.
