Could Harbhajan Singh v Andrew Symonds mark the beginning of the end of cricket?

Larry, how did u come to the conclusion that proctor had evidence to convict harbhajan of racism? U have assumed on the basis of common sense and fair play that proctor must have had evidence. If so why isn't the ICC coming out with the evidence? From all accounts it was a case of the aussies word against that of the Indians. the umpires heard nothing, nor was there any audio/video evidence. so by proclaiming Harbhajan guilty, Proctor in effect has termed the iIndians as Liars. Either Proctor is biased or he is downright racist (the whites dont lie do they?)

Bucknor has been terrible when umpiring against India, his history against India was one of the major factors along with his match performance in him being dropped, and he didn't just have a bad game, both him an Benson virtually gave the game to the Aussies on a silver platter with at least 5 stupidly bad mistakes, turning it from a possible win to the Indians to at best a hope for a draw. As for zimbabwe v ireland, u make a good point, but this is a fact of life, no one cares about the little guy and in cricket India is responsible for more than 80% of revenue in cricket so when they talk people have to listen.

Bucknor has been poor for a while now so it comes as no surprise hes made some terrible calls.

It has emerged that he did say it and Anil Kumble expressed his disappointment that the issue had been taken to the authorities and not swept under the rug like the first time it had happened. Sure, Bucknor was poor at best racist behaviour should not be tolerated
