What did you do Bhajji!

(A report on a website in BLACK, with Blog's comments in RED and all in jest)

REPORT:
The Indian team management on Friday rejected (At times it becomes important to show guts) Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds's allegations (Sore Loser!) of racial abuse by Harbhajan Singh (The gritty warrior who got under the Aussie Skin) asserting the off-spinner did not say anything offensive (Actually they meant Harbhajan was aggressive but not offensive which the Aussie often confuse with, when they are down) .

Although Harbhajan has not made any statement on the matter (Wise thing to do), Indian media manager M V Sridhar said the spinner told the management that he did not taunt Symonds racially (though he may have taunted otherwise, and did not walk away!) during their spat (who started it!) on the third day of the ongoing second cricket Test in Sydney on Friday.

Sridhar also rubbished suggestions that Symonds' complaint against Harbhajan would have any bearing on the relationship between the BCCI and Cricket Australia (After all, the relationships based on money are the strongest in cricketing business).

"The relationship between the BCCI and CA is excellent and this Test match has seen some very competitive cricket being played. We would not let allow a small incident to overshadow everything," he said.

The exact comments are not known but Sridhar confirmed that a "hearing" against Harbhajan is scheduled for Saturday (to deflate our man during these critical times) .

Umpires Mark Benson and Steve Bucknor (the usual suspects) have laid the charge after consulting an agitated (thanks to Indian fightback) Ricky Ponting at the end of the day's play.
