What does it unmask?
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008What does the latest Harbhajan incident in IPL prove? What does it unmask that the Indian public didn’t know already? That Harbhajan is not the most well behaved player on the field? They didn’t know that already? Does it prove that he used that racial taunt against Symonds at Sydney without provocation? Don’t know what Ponting is trying to suggest here. Should we assume because of this slap that Harbhajan might have said what they claimed he said there? So if Symonds were to get into some controversy some time in future does it clear Harbhajan?
Does it say anything about the way Sachin backed Harbhajan? Absolutely not. All Sachin was saying then was he did not hear Harbhajan using the racial slur. Nobody was claiming what he did was right. He was wrong and so were Symonds, Ponting and many others.
