equatorWhen I read about Sulieman Benn, Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson getting into a shoving match I wet myself in at least two different ways.
Then I saw it.
The play by play.
Haddin hits a ball into the ball short on the leg side; Benn and Johnson get in a tangle. Not that it is hard to get tangled with Benn. They collided fairly naturally; Johnson tried to push him away, Benn seemed to grab him and tried to get his leg in his way, and eventually they unentwined and the run was completed.
Haddin got pissed that Benn was grabbing at Johnson; I doubt he would have seen Johnson’s push from his position. He then had a go at Benn, with a bit of bat waving nonsense thrown in.
Then Benn got angry, mostly about the bat waving, as Haddin and Gayle had a fairly unaggressive chat. Benn then kept abusing Haddin (who seemed bored of it and walked away) about the bat waving and kept calling him big man. From what I could hear I believe he said, “Watch yourself, big man, don’t fucken point your bat at me, man.” Gayle didn’t try to do much so Billy came over, eventually.
Then later when Benn was bowling to Haddin he hit one straight back to Benn who feigned that he was going to throw the ball at Haddin/thestumps, probably the equivalent of the bat waving. It was a terrible feign, and obvious he was not going to throw, so much so that you couldn’t even say he was going to throw it at Haddin, as he never really cocked his arm correctly. It was more a wild swing of the arms from a 2 year old.
That was the end of the over and Haddin walked down mouthing off to Benn (Benn could have been mouthing back but that angle wasn’t shown). Benn did a big like point at Haddin, but Johnson got in the way, and Benn’s arm struck Johnson ever so lightly, and Johnson tried to swat it away like someone had poured ice down his top and Benn slapped his arm away.
Then Billy finally got sort of involved and Benn left.
The history.
Haddin and Benn have history, last tour they kept chirping at each other, and at one stage Benn thrust out his leg to try and trip Haddin. Not sure if that had anything to do wit this, but they clearly don’t like each other.
Perhaps Neil Broom and Benn are friends?
In this tour Benn has been yapping non stop to the aussies, and the funniest moment had to be when Watson was marking his guard to start the last innings at Adelaide and Benn was craned over him talking and talking.
Haddin has also been chirping a lot when Benn has been into bat.
The verdict.
What a load of shit. It wasn’t a shoving match; it was an accidental tap and some heated words. Haddin probably rented a high horse he has no moral reason to get on, and Benn overreacted and then dragged it out until it was almost painful to watch.
Perhaps if the ICC want to clean cricket of any sort of human emotion Haddin and Benn should be given a level one fine for the bat waving, feigned throw and swearing, but it still seems pretty piss poor to me. I can’t see how Johnson can even be charged.
But what about Billy, he could have stopped this at any time. What the hell was he doing? First he stood behind the stumps as Benn got angrier and angrier, then he took way too long to get down to where Benn and Haddin were clearly going to meet. Will he get fined for failing to act, will he get warned that he needs to get involved in these things and try and diffuse them. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Billy stand around and so nothing while teams are getting heated.
My vow.
If any player gets suspended, and from the original charges it seems only Benn can, I will start a petition to get him freed.
Cricket is a passionate game, people get fired up. Things are said, glares are exchanged, bats are waived, and fingers are pointed. That is all good. Passion is why we love this game.
We want to see players who are out there to win, not collect endorsements. Benn is a fiery bugger, and I love that about him. If the ICC wants to take people like him out of the game then they have to get by this site first.
There are no fingers pointed or bats waived in my Ashes book, but there should be.
Sounds like fun..do you have a video of the fight?
Disgusting to see once again an aussie tearing his mouth.
Poor Benn was the only one who got heavily penalized
and for those who missed this action, you can watch it again.

Billy should be the one to be fined, for not stepping in. On the other hand, perhaps he was enjoying it all as much as the rest of us, and wanted to see what happened next – makes for good memoirs.
Maybe Billy was afraid of getting in Benn’s way and being next on his hit list?
Benn reminds me of Andre Nel, but without the sense of self-irony
Haddin is a bit of a bull terrier – once ired, never lets go
Mitch is the puppy who wants to play with the big boys
Of all of them, I like Haddin the most. I’ve always had a soft spot for good, old-fashioned bullishness.
But then, I like Saffers, too.
What a pity they all got fined and we won’t get to see the next installment. I bet even snot-nosed Roebuck secretly enjoyed it.
chris gayle was apparently too cool to do anything. fine him… ah, a bit of argy bargy and some words said, benn may be an absolute tool but i like his bowling and his attitude, even if he does have quite a few priors for trying to trip batsman.
let it all go…
oh, can’t wait to see mitch bowling to benn in this innings, hopefully with a new pill, entertainment factor will be 1,000,000+
http://cricket-online.tv/sulieman-benn-brad-haddin-mitchell-johnson-fight-perth/
Lovely little medley. Until I saw this, I felt that Mr Haddin was being a bit of a prat but Mr Benn is a very large gentleman and I feel now that he was being a bit of a bully and comes off looking the greater dickhead. Still, they’re all big boys and very entertaining in a ‘my dad can take your dad, no he can’t, my dad has a cricket bat’ sort of way. I didn’t realise cricket was a ‘nearly’ contact sport until I started paying more attention.
In what world is feigning to throw akin to pointing a bat? And now we’re going to see another kangaroo court in session with Mr. Broad claiming the equality of some men over that of others.
Mahek´s last blog ..FICA and the need for a Collective Bargaining Agreement – II
mahek, in the world where they are both bullshit gestures of macho-ism meant to intimidate. Haddin wasn’t going to hit Benn, Benn wasn’t going to throw at Haddin.
Billy’s a lover not a fighter.
Dry-humping Steve Waugh on retirement is far more his idea of on-field intervention
The minute i read this morning about the incident, and Gayle’s comment about “we will speak to the match referee”the first thought in my mind was how another visiting team and captain were going to find out all about ICC’s justice when Australian players are involved in incidents involving on ground chatter and such discipline related matters.
I watched the clip. I will fine Mitchell johnson , he is the aggressor. I do not find fault in both of them going for the ball.
But Mitchell johnson shove his hand when benn was pointing finger to reply haddin pointing his bat.
Mitchell johnson want to play with big boys but this guy disappear completely in one spell and comeback when he wants. He is erratic. I thought aussie bundle out WI after gayle fireworks. I think Gayle played well may be this shoving match made him pissed off.
This is the Nth time aussie escpae punishment?. They have mastered the art of infuriating opponents. Silly , childish and cheating if possible and truck load of abuse.
For me everything fine as long as you do not touch unless it is accident. I blame Mitchell johnson for deliberate contact with benn by shoving him.
But Jrod looking at different angle. I think i like Ben. He shows firece attitude. if you do not have that you can’t play aussies. You have to play fire with fire or you will lose out meekily.
Haddin played well though. He was posing after sixers.
It would be shocking the whole world Chris Broad fine Mitchell johnson for making deliberate contact.
Instead Broad blame Benn for bullying and suspend him in next match.
That would be hilarious. Indians go i told you so….etc
I hope not and Chris broad make fair call….i do not trust chris broad.
Interesting video Sujan Rao.. Leadership begets Attitude. And Attitude reflects Leadership.. Cant blame either Johnson or Haddin if their captain can get away with a shove!
“I can’t see how Johnson can even be charged.” I suppose if you want to ignore all the physical contact, yes, otherwise, I don’t like “he started it” as an offence.
Jonathan´s last blog ..An umpire’s final decision?
Was the plane on standby at the airport?
to be fair to the aussies, ben looks like the main aggressor here
Nice one Poopsie. But who’s the fuckin monkey?
Patently unfair to charge Benn with a level 2 offence here.
It’s almost as if you can see the thought balloons in Chris Broad’s brain going
“well there two of them and one of him, and one of him is as big as two of them, so it is a level 2 charge on him and a level 1 charge each on one of ‘em. that sounds abt right, yes it does.”
It’s always painful to find out that Sunil Gavaskar was right all along…
Broad said: “It was an incident which could have been avoided. No one likes to see cricketers pointing bats at their opponents or pushing each other away. It is not the sort of example that players should be setting at any time, least of all in a series which is being played in a great spirit and being followed by millions around the world on television.
“The decision to find Benn guilty of a Level 2 offence is indicative of the fact that conduct contrary to the spirit of the game is completely unacceptable. I hope Mr Benn has learnt his lesson and will be careful in the future.”
Speaking of lessons
87.1 Johnson to Swann, FOUR, four more! This is ridiculous. Swann throws the bat and it flies down to the vacant third man
87.2 Johnson to Swann, 1 no ball, wayhay! A no-ball bouncer, Swann sways out of the way; Johnson has some heavy words with Swann, who replies with a choice selection himself. Johnson fires back. Now Broad lays in! This is monstrous. The sledging has returned
87.2 Johnson to Swann, FOUR, four! Short and chopped brilliantly behind point. That’s quite a shot from a tailender. Great balance
87.3 Johnson to Swann, OUT, got him! Slower ball punched to mid-off. A really soft and tame dismissal but well bowled Johnson
GP Swann c North b Johnson 24 (23m 20b 5×4 0×6) SR: 120.00
87.4 Johnson to Anderson, 1 run, off the mark first ball! Nudged off his hip
87.5 Johnson to Broad, FOUR, what a shot. What a stroke from Broad. Johnson’s giving him an absolute earful, but this is a serious stroke – off the back-foot, straight down the ground.
87.6 Johnson to Broad, 1 run, a neat flick off his hip
There you go, as we all expected Benn has to take it all at the end. Geek Mitche n prick Haddin get away.
Breaking news this hour : Sulieman Benn has been banned for two one-day internationals , Haddin has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee while Johnson has been fined 10 per cent.
Sujan Rao´s last blog ..The joy of Jayasuriya – Peter Roebuck
Benn is the only one who did not plead guilty, the other two did.
All of them were equally culpable or not culpable (take your pick) for the incident. And one of them pleads not guilty. I think he deserves a bigger punishment.
However, a ban is too much, probably 50% of match fee would have been good enough.
And Billy gets away!
Ho hum – so a whitey referee bans a nigger. Next please.
Benn doesn’t have a very good disciplinary record. You only have to read a bit about his history to know that. He should ideally be a fast bowler with his temper. I’m sure he’s still smarting at Johnson’s yorker from the last test.
I would have kicked mitchell johnson out of the game. This is outright racist act by chris broad , hope he never be match refree in india.
This is pathetic. No wonder ICC controlled by aussie racists.
Ofcourse not all aussies are not racist , otherwise i would not even post here.
I really think “some” people look at things through different perspective. Brown and black always initiate the fight , white people are innocent.
This is sydney all over again. If i am west indies , i will walk out and ask ICC remove chris broad from future west indies matches.
But again west indies do not have power like BCC , so WI bow down to this nonsense.
I am all for Fair justice. The person who initated contact mitchell jonson go scott free. Unbelievable. Only happen in australia.
I really want to see what chris broad is seeing that is different from what i see.
There is also one more thing Brown and black has more body language than white people when they get angry or emotional , it makes it look more aggressive than white people. May be that is what chris broad is seeing. I think.
Your web/blogsite does some freaky shit with my eyes. Anyone else get that? Big green blotches on the screen like a colour blindness test and when I look away they are still there, burnt into my retina, much like the time I saw Mummy kissing Santa’s Claw.
Fuck you JRod for ruining my eyes – at least put a public health warning on your site.
Apart from that, keep it deep and don’t ease up on the futility and absurdity of playing Nathan Hauritz in a national side.
jogesh99 – forget about monkeys, i think we all agree Haddin is a ma kii
Now i get it Pete, he was banned because he is a spinner.
I saw the clip – its so nothing. But hear the Aussie pricks commenting, thats the real fun part. My choices for next whitey match referees – Taylor the twisted tongue and Healey the slime.
To recall another commenting gem from long ago – Ponting shoving Harbhajan after Bhajjie gave him a send-off – and that senile fuck Benaud chirping – Harbhajan had no right to say what he did. Aussie tradition alive and well !
I don’t have problem with haddin as he pointed his bat , for me you can say anything you want as long as it is not racist nature and do not touch. Because once you touch it will go to another level that is not good.
Based on the youtube video it is clear that mitchell johnson try to shove benn. I wonder why benn is even fined.
The guy who should have been banned mitchell johnson. I am curious though why chris broad do not see the person who made the intentional contact.
Benn is mistake is he was mouthing off. Haddin was mouthing off all day. So i do not think there is not even iota of fault on BENN.
This is strange the way chris broad looking at things. I am curious what he saw that is different from what i am seeing in youtube video.
West indies got the shaft what india got last sydney Test. May be bucknor know this lobby and afraid of it ?. Could be.
That he is Poopsie, that he is.
But I distinctly noticed primate dentiture when he grinned at Benn when Benn threatened to throw.
Only thing i see is DIFFERENT RULE BOOK for DIFFERENT SKIN color.
yes, of course, it’s all a racist Australian plot….. *yawn*
Anyone actually watching the whole event? Like, not just a short video clip?
I did. All of it. Benn was the instigator, no doubt, and he has prior form for trying to trip batsman.
The thing is if Benn pleaded gulity like Haddin and Johnson he would have received the same fine as the two Australians. My bet is he’ll appeal the decision and accept the same penalty as Haddin and Johnson. And he’ll be back playing the ODIs Mitch will bowl bouncers at him, Benn will do his glaring and it will all be hunky dory.
Typical fucking Indians. It’s got fuck all to do with race but pull out the race card you dumb shits. Any fucking chance to have a go at Aus you just can’t help yourselves.
Dredge up every fucking past incident since Gavaskar chucked a tantrum in Melbourne.
Build a fucking bridge and get over it.
Comparing it to Sydney already? That is insane – the WI haven’t even had a chance yet to lose 7 wickets in the final session on Day 5
You never know. WIth chris broad around anything can happen. It is almost like a clint east wood movie where the judge set the law. he hangs any who dispprove anything he say. So he did not ask for forgiveness for him mouthing off?.
Some thing wrong with this ICC run by aussies. This is the main reason i hate umpire is right concept. When you racist chris broad making arbitary decision based on skin color , you have a problem.
Pity is West Indies or west indies board is not strong enough to get rid of chris broad from their matches.
We need 1000s of taufel to give fair ruling.. Every one make mistakes for sure , i am not sure on this racist chris broad.
For me i do not fault haddin one bit , ya he waved his bat and mouthed off , benn reciprocated it . That is the end of it …what mitchell johnson is doing shoving benn and try to play with big boys..
Anyway we all know why it is difficult for any team to win australia unless aussies are awful. Sa beat aussies in aussie because it is just that aussie are awful , if it is even steven , aussie use ICC to win every game. It has happened before it will happen again.
I really think aussies has no business in blaming indians to have pitches square turners and flat pitches.
Every one have different defense mechanism. Aussies have 13 man on the field always.
I start to wonder , may be bucknor aware of ICC lobby and scared of them and gave favourable decision to keep his job…very good possibility.
Almost like 9/11 conspiracies..hahahaha.
Also another possibility , some people are good in understanding different cultures and their body language. There are some people who are not familiar with the culture should not be match refree. I think that may be the issue.
I do not believe in UMPIRE is right concept , that is good only when you have racist free society. India is racist to its own population , so it is all depends on how do you look at it.
For me these match refree appointment has to be revisited so that the match referee understand different culture. If you do not eat indian food , you should not be match refree in INDIA. That is the bottom line. Hahaha. If you do not like indian food, you are going to side with opposition more time because it is comfortable.
i would have fined all of them equally and done with it.
Chris broad choose to find fault with victim. It is like pakistan/saudi law where they find fault with rape victim..
Anyways…hope nothing bad happen in the match or it may explode…you never know…Benn probably more mad now. Hahahaha.
@Jrod, lets get that petition rolling, shall we? I personally cannot understand why Mitchell Johnson is allowed to shove a player to one side and Gautham Gambhir isn’t… the difference in the penalties handed out certainly seem to indicate that. The common factor being – Chris Broad…
@Jamie64 Oh, so now we’re suddenly more concerned about the instigators? Well lets be consistent about that shall we and turn back the clock…
achettup´s last blog ..ICC, Equip Umpires With Dignity And A-R Helmets
Two match ban for Benn and a slap on the wrists for Haddin and Johnson??!!!!
WTF??
I mean seriously
WT*^&*^$@*^&&*F!
What was Benn’s fault here that made him liable to a punishment so disproportionately higher than the other two?
Considering:
1. He didn’t deliberately get into a collision with Mitchell Johnson
2. He did not actually throw the ball into Haddin’s face.
3. He wasn’t the one pushing someone out of the pitch.
Would we have had anything more than a quick chirp if Haddin hadn’t decided to act macho and start waving his bat around to protect poor puppy Johnson??
Granted Benn behaved like a bit of a dick, but so did and Haddin and Johnson.
All of them deserved a solid tongue lashing and perhaps a fine, but to impose such an obviously harsh penalty on one guy and basically let off the other two with a small-ish monetary penalty smacks of unfairness on the face of it and (much as I hate to say it) racism.
Chris Broad seems to be waving the flag for all the concerned white people to put the uppity nigger (and no, I am not going to apologize for using that word!) in his place and showing him that you don’t mess with white boys no matter what!
Bloody hell.. makes me want to wring a puppy’s neck.
chris broad racist has a pattern…lest see who are he find faults so far…
Benn
Gambhir,
Afridi,
Herchell Gibbs.
can you people see a pattern…all colored..before he commit another calamity . he needs to be removed.
Actually i do not mind aussie match referee, I only hate people who serves bigger master …bucknor did , mike proctor did , now chris broad.. who these people afraid off? Or they brain washed to see things in colored glasses?.
Anyways benn and gayle have no issue , i do not have any issue..but i do not like this chris broad guy…his judgement is flawed.
The whole mouthing off is kind of childish in some way…waste of time…
I really think aussie – pak matches will be fire cracker…hope chris broad is not match referee for those matches.
Oh alex, if only you knew it wasn’t as small a list as those four. He’s penalized Inzamam on four occasions heavily for the most ludicrous of charges (charging aggressively towards the umpire while appealiing??? ONE MATCH BAN MOFO), Shoaib Akhtar and Balaji for excessive appealing (bloody “newer” guys who don’t know how to do it right like Warnie), and Saurav Ganguly for slow over-rates. Yep, as Brydon Coverdale says he has continued to maintain “his stance as a strict match referee”, just a pity that its some players more than others who have seen that strict side. The guy should be sacked. Take a look at this article (warning – its just as biased as Broad, but it does bring up some good points like Broad’s own behavior as a cricketer) http://www.cricketnetwork.co.uk/main/s119/st71035.htmit shows that this kind of ugly refereeing is not without precedent.
achettup´s last blog ..ICC, Equip Umpires With Dignity And A-R Helmets
Anyone pulling out the race card when discussing this issue is a bona fide idiot, and in some perverse way actually being racist in doing so…
Alex – your last post which used the phrase “waste of time” gave me a huge laugh given the absolute waffle that you’ve posted in this thread and I just spent minutes of my life reading – minutes that I’ll never be able to get back. thanks for the laugh, even though you seem like a total dogflogger….
I think Johnson was wrong, but I don’t see why people say that he started the contact and Benn did nothing. They were both moving, in clost to perpendicular directions, so it looks very different depending on the angle, but there’s no doubt Benn was trying to get in the way of Johnson rather than let him talk to Haddin as much as Johnson was getting in the way of Benn’s tirade.
The thing that really bothers me is that one of the perhaps possible, fairly reasonable ways for an umpire to respond to a situation like this, is to step between the players concerned. (Bowden did do this, a bit late, earlier in the over.) Say an umpire had done that, in a similar manner to Watson, and got hit by Benn’s arm. I, and I hope others, would agree that it was unacceptable. It’s one thing to march down the pitch pointing and talking, it’s another to not control yourself when someone steps in the way. 50-100% fine after a guilty plea – level two seems reasonable for that. The question is about the others getting less.
Unfortunately, there’s more to this than Broad. The charges (at the different levels) were laid by the umpires, not the referees. Either Bowden, Gould, Rauf and Tucker are in on this bias, or they actually have other reasons for disagreeing with us.
Jonathan´s last blog ..An umpire’s final decision?
I think these guys copy this Movie Clint East wood movie called Hang’em High…There is a judge who hangs anything and anyone who opposes him.
Actor Pat Hingle portrays a fictional judge who mirrors the true life Judge Isaac Parker, who was labelled “The Hanging Judge”
Darrell Hair copy him. Mike proctor copy him. Chris broad copy him. They are the law in their own mind.
World has changed. I think ICC referee system must evolve considering different culture involved.
if every country that playing cricket is white people , then Umpire is always rightc oncept is ok.
In current setup if one do not like other culture he can’t make Fair judgement as he is biased inherently.
Basically for me Mike proctor , Dennis , chris broad , Darrel Hair are racist fools. Bucknor was just serving his white master. I am more mad at bucknor than these people.
I think BCCI need to make changes to this Referee system. Remove this match referee concept and make everything Field umpire with technology help to resolve issue.
Also there needs to be rating for this umpires as we may get Bad sheep. It is quiet possible.
Now i see why indians were always losing abroad before as 13 players were playing against 11 and those times indians were not confident on their own abilities.
Anyways the whole racist thing give me a headache…can we all forget and watch the game…
You can’t remove racism in India , so you can’t expect to removed from ICC. Indians in India need a mirror first.
Every one have different perspectives.
I still do not like Chris broad. He is a SOB.
Benn clearly ran into Haddin (shi happens) but then used both hands one after the other- retarding the batsmans movement, before clearing him and attempting to pick up and throw down the stupms – unsporting or just a cheat?
In the confrontation he brushes both Johnson while approaching Haddin very threateningly and Johnson pushes him away.
Benn then continues it next ball
Pretty clear for mine that Benns behaviour was worse than the other 2.
I’m white and therefore racist.
Ponts shoul also have been up on charges
if you really see Brown and Black express things more emotionally outside. if Benn is threatening then Hadding is threatening with bat in his own way.
I do not find any fault with mouthing off between haddin and benn…pointing bat is an issue and haddin himself know he crossed it there. Benn is more reacting to instigation.
Who said all whites are racist?. it is some who thinks too much of themself become racist. I find racism in fools who do not have self confidence and try to defend themself through other channels.
Oh crap ..i see the scorecard now…all out West indies…312…i think West indies psychologically affected now. They will bundle out today itself…
The reason west indies lost in this Test is chris broad.
Pak will also lose in Australia again mainly because aussie has 13 players and Pakistan has 11 players. It is no contest.
West indies could have drawn this match..Sydney all over again in a different way.
Time to disband ICC as it seems like no use in playing australia as it is black hole for anyone who is not white skinned.
There are pockets of racism in USA also , in general USA evolve as they see their past mistakes , when you proclaim , you are a free country , it has to be color free. If you ask me USA is more free than India. India one section of population more racist towards its own kind.
Anyway i am tired of talking about white people are racist others are saint…
I just do not like chris broad ability to make a judgement. That is all.
Hmm that is weird. Ponting decide to bat again. Only reason is Ponting wants to rest as they see the game is in the bag , why rush.
…put mammoth score again…west indies collapse..
ponting probably put 450 lead and declare. That is more than enough against this West indies.
I would have applied follow on and ponting might have see his bowlers tired , so he plan to give some rest. All good.
Matt, I don’t know if you’re racist but you’re certainly talking about a completely different game. For starters Benn ran into Johnson and not Haddin. Johnson is the one who accidentally bumps Benn’s arm when the bowler is pointing toward Haddin and then pushes him away. I don’t know how anyone can see it as Benn initiating contact.
Jarrod, if pointing the bat is the same as feigning to throw the ball then I must say almost every bowler has been guilty of rude behaviour. What kind of ridiculous logic is this? You could have raised your arm to throw the ball or to feign doing the same, there was absolutely no doubt as to why Haddin raised his bat.
The officials are so blatantly biased it’s not even funny. At the same time it is not at all surprising. Some Men are indeed more equal than others.

And Darren Lehman racist outburst , chris broad does nothing…i think there is a blame the victim concept going on here with mike proctor , chris broad…lunatics!.
ICC should be disbanded…or to be fixed. The problem is though indians are also racist towards their own population. Everywhere this elitist concept.
So …i say what ever…may be chris broad is deliberately planted to piss of asian block…i think it is high time to remove match referee concept…it is not solving the problem of racist umpires , it is compounding the error.
I see all the Indians have got out of bed. Usual histrionics from them – is there any such thing as an objective, rational Indian? or is that some “whitey” disease?
It is all facts. 2:12am ET now in toronto
I am the only one babbling here. No one else. I do not see white people are racist. There is no racism in canada so i do not see white people as racist.
I see there is something wrong with Chris Broad judgement. I am trying to figure out logic behind his serial judgement. he is not consistent with his judgement when it comes to white people behaviour or brown or black people behaviour.
Why don’t all people behave like Taufel?. I think weak resort to racism. Taufel is strong minded fellow who is supremely confident on his ability.
The reason chris broad make one bad jusgement another because he has chip on his shoulder that brown is below white. hahahaha.
I could not find any other reason behind his judgement. there is no logic. Zippo!.
That said India has worst racism in the world in the form of castism , so most people who are in the web typing about aussie racism who probably racist against their own kind who had more darker brown skin in their villages in india.
Why ICC appoint “BAD players” as a match referee is beyond me. When ever people are not confident in their ability , they will make more mistakes to hide their weakness/
Why not appoint GOOD Boys like dean jones, gower as Match referee. I think middle order batsman is ideal choice for Match referee. Bowlers are angry people and opening batsman are angry people. Need mellow down character as Match Referees.
Lets see, A possible revenge would be to appoint Sunil Gavaskar as Guest referee in the every match Australia and England play in the Sub-continent. I am doubtful though, that he will be able to ‘mask’ his bias as well as Chris Broad in the name of ’strictness’.

Aussie media normally gang up on people who they think that is not favourable to them. I think indian media should take unified front against chris broad “color biased” judgement even if it is not include indian team..
I doubt indian media worry about West indies team though. Indian media only obsessed with sachin the accumulator.
Revenge is a childish play , instead try to find a way to appoint people who has shown no record of any untruly behaviour and disagreement with umpires..
Appointment of chris broad as Match referee is a joke….it is like putting a thief as security guard in a bank
Forget everything – Aussie media, Indian media, racism, favouritism, everything. Just answer this question of mine. Haddin points a bat and Benn feigns throwing the ball. Bowler at least has the excuse of throwing it to the ‘keeper. What was Haddin’s excuse? Was he throwing the damn thing to the non striker like we do in gully cricket when there is only bat to play.
There was shoving, there was pushing. Both the parties were equally into it. So why suspension to one party and fine to the other? Am not accusing anyone of being racist and all.
Will just say this. Chris Broad has a very distinctly slanted record when it comes to punishment. Ponting in the first testshowed a bit too much dissent with respect tothe referring and there were some pretty offensive looks he gave to umpire. He even has gone on record blasting the UDRS. Do not see any fines stipulated against him.
If Broad’s record was this slanted against Australia/England, there would have been some holy shit written by messrs. Conn, Simon Briggs, etc. with accusations of BCCI presssure on him.
For those who call us whingeing Indians:

Dhananjay – How bout I answer your question with another question; how many abo-digitals do you see modelling? And also what the fark is Alex talking about above?
How about we got of this ridiculous no-win topic and discuss the comedic stylings of Ian Bell?
is anyone else finding it difficult to comprehend what alex is actually trying to say?
how come india always crops up?
I thought WI and Aus were playing.
Alex, Broad fining Indians or Pakis in an Indo-Pak match does not qualify as bias.
Racism, yes, but I doubt that even the aussie cunts responding on this site will challenge that charge. In fact, they all seem to celebrate his racism as manifest destiny.
@poopsie
Agree with you. By the way, even I would find it impossible to get out the way Bell got out. Hilarious!! What was he thinking? Harris spinning the ball that much??
Poopsie, post that clip will you please. The fag commentators on cricinfo going on and on about it …
Pete, re your “pleading not guilty” statement, try this:

Thanks Dhananjay for the link.
Oh, and Gambhir got what he deserved, but Watson din’t (he deserved one on the face).
SUjan rao u r the reason y indians are taking a beating in australia, pls spot ur nonsense
this ALEX has his name changed on this forum, he must be some ismail or mohammad
its not white or black, its because aus is a strong fighting team and everyone hates that. everyone wants to be like them but cant, agression is a new game plan of every team who play against AUS or wants to be like them but they cannot match it up with hardwork, talent and sheer will power.
Gaz Man – What is an abo-digital (pardon my ignorance about slang terms)
Again I am in no way insinuating any racism here. Just inconsistency on part of Broad for whatever reasons.
Alex, my friend,say what you want but please in coherent English.
Dhananjay Mhatre´s last blog ..Dhaanu: Match referees going ban happy. First Benn, now Dhoni for separate reasons of course. Cue the racism accusations. #cricket.
DM – it is a joke from the movie Zoolander. Disregard it. Just trying to relieve the tension in this post. Couldn’t agree more with poopsie. Lets discuss the pathetic wretch that is Ian Bell
Mahek, the differences between feigning to throw and pointing a bat are firstly that outside play, one is threatening and the other isn’t, but secondly that one is disguisable as part of play and the other one isn’t. They’re not the same, but if ‘rude’ is all we’re talking about, then they’re on the same level.
Jonathan´s last blog ..An umpire’s final decision?
Gaz Man – I stayed awake till 2 AM in the night to watch Bell’s dismissal. I was not disappointed. It was funny and sad at the same time.
Dhananjay Mhatre´s last blog ..Dhaanu: @bigfatphoenix Yes Yes. Much better seeing 3 rpo on a sporting track than 8 rpo on flat deck.
