Aussie Ki Taisi

‘He’s nothing but an obnoxious little weed’. A kind of statement one would make about his nemesis, after he has downed a couple of pegs. But no, this statement comes from a professional cricketer for his counterpart. Mathew Hayden, the burly bully of the Australian cricket team, lashed out at Harbhajan Singh of India with that very statement. To top it off, Hayden gets away with just a REPRIMAND. This comes right after the Aussies made a big hue and cry, labeling Bhajji as a racist. All Bhajji had said was something retaliatory in Hindi, which by no stretch of imagination meant, a monkey, as was alleged. Please tell me, who exactly is a racist?

See what the following words mean.

OBNOXIOUS: Causing disapproval or protest.

WEED: Any plant that crowd out cultivated plants.

If this is not racism, then what Bhajji supposedly said (according to those barbaric Aussies) is perfectly justified. Talking of that incident, Mr. Andrew Symonds yelled out at our young Ishant Sharma after being bamboozled and bowled by a clever slower ball. Ishant was fined, Andrew escaped scot free, even though he was the provoker. Following that Mathew Hayden, wants Ishant to join him in a boxing ring. If that is what Hayden intends to do, then he should not be playing cricket. Cricket is a gentleman’s game, as they call it. I wonder who let this uncivilized pugilist onto a cricket field.

Australian natives are aborigines. Andrew Symonds is one of them. They were ruled by the imperialistic Englishmen. Capt. James Cook discovered Australia, and in followed hoards of criminals from England. These criminals were brought here for want of more prison space. Once, Australia gained independence, these criminals propagated their species, hence making Australia a predominantly White country. Barbarism is in their blood, and what else can you expect from criminals. Sadly, it has rubbed off on some like Symonds as well.

I would say all is Ricky Ponting’s fault. He’s a great skipper, no doubt and he leads by example. But, I wish he had led only in the sporting department. The rest is totally unsportsmanlike, and he has absolutely no shame in what he’s doing.

The Aussies are world champions and give their 100% every time on the field. They win more games than anyone else. But are they winning any hearts?
