Losers in Race Abuse Fiasco

ICC: Made lots of noises, but failed to back them with words. Their match referee for Sydney was too incompetent, or biased depending on how strong one feels about the whole affair.

Broadcasters: For their failure to give Stump mike proceedings in time for action. They had full two days to do that before the first hearing

BCCI: Threat the first time was legitimate, the second time it looked overplayed. That is why so much criticism now. They could have been little more subtle about withdrawal.

Harbhajan: If he did not tell Mike Proctor that he had indeed abused Symonds, and not racially abused him. And abusing someone's near and dear ones on the field is equally nauseating!

The only winner was media. One can bet that TRPs must have touched the stratosphere between Sydney and Perth!
