I agree, I have seen similar problems in India in recent years. Unfortunately it happens, but it is certainly no excuse for Australia to do it to anyone, just as much as it is no excuse for anyone else to do it, including India, however it is not generally a part of the Indian culture but a few igno...

It is not to justify provoking him, but he should be enough of a man that he can walk away. The behaviour of Harbahjan and sreesanth is ...
