I think this Indian tour of Australia is the most controversial tour in the international cricket. In the list of controversies, now a new one has been added. It’s about the fine imposed on Ishanth Sharma for exchanging words with Symonds. Symonds was bowled out by Ishanth Sharma in the 48th over of 10th match of CB series. After this dismissal, Symonds exchanged some words with Ishanth before leaving the ground. I think it was Symonds who started the words and Ishanth replied him. I clearly understood what Ishanth told to Symonds from TV replays. Though Symonds started it, Ishanth was fined 15% of his match fee. Now BCCI has complained to ICC about this and they have clearly mentioned that Australians provoked Indians to talk. It seems that in some previous matches, Mathew Hayden sledged Harbhajan Singh. BCCI told Indian players to remain calm even if Aussies sledge at them. I don’t know why Aussies use this kind of sledging techniques in their match. This is not the sign of true sportsmanship.
