Aussies win and Cricket loses ....

The Sydney test match is over and the Aussies have stretched their winning streak to sixteen consecutive wins.No mean feat to accomplish but done with a meanness that leaves a bad taste in the mouth.India has lost the match but the team really played well against the 11 aussie players and the three umpires(two on the field and the third umpire).There is a concept called "Just World Belief" ,according to which good things happen to good people and vice versa,but the manner in which the script of this match has unfolded puts a big question mark over such belief.There is absolutely no denying the fact that the australian team is a cut above the rest as far as their performances on the field are concerned.But they are surely not the right role models and the less said about their unsportsmanlike behavior the better.The Aussies who have been the masters of sledging for a long time get easily ruffled when the other teams give it back to them.Coming to the Harbhajan-Symonds incident ,anyone with a little commonsense (Mr Bucknor is a dishonorable exception)can see that Bhajji was batting on 50 odd runs and the aussies were rattled,and in such a scenario why Harbhajan would call Symonds a 'monkey' and that too without any provocation .Symonds seems to be suffering from a big 'monkey complex' (whatever happened in India when he was subjected to monkey chants by a miniscule minority of the crowd was detestable and uncalled for),but now by raking up this needless controversy he is showing himself to be no less than a monkey.
