Hayden calls Harbhajan an obnoxious weed

Cricket Australia Code of Conduct is downloadable here:

Hayden is clearly in breach of Rule 6 - Unbecoming Behaviour.

But thats not a court thing - at most thats fineable by CA.

 

[Cevno]

no, but my parents are. Anyway, Hayden has not done anything other than state his opinion, as previously said, you cannot be sued for saying something like "his hair style is horrible", or in terms of this case, calling someone a weed is not detrimental to their character. If Hayden had accused Harb of being corrupt, that would be a different story altogether. Or accused him of a crime etc... Those indeed would be grounds upon which he could be sued. But have you ever heard of someone suing someone else because they said they didnt like them? Me neither.

My brother is a lawyer and he says a case can be made on his full comments where he says
things about bhajji being irresponsible and a troublemaker.
It can be implied that he is due to this tarnishing his reputation and causing phyical and financial harm but it will be tough to prove.
One thing is for sure that the case will be admitted and tried and that is what i was implying has to be done to teach hayden a lesson.

no, thats obviously not the case here. You are fooling yourself if you think this will go to court.

Big ugly bold ape (Am I right?) calls Harbhajan a "obnoxious weed". Can't disagree though. But this bully needs a ban with his mate Symonds for boorish behavior. I'd first shoot the three SL life gaurds that pulled these two out in a near drowning experiance in southers SL few years back. They should have let these two pieces of sh*t drown.

Haha whoa, steady on.

Thought it was fairly obviously in jest to an extent TBH. Though cringe at the filter-avoidance naturally.

Good stuff. Hayden speaks the truth and adds some more fire to the series.

I think the Australians generally get along with the Indian team pretty well. I'd say a majority of them can have a good chat and laugh after a game. Harbhajan seems to be an exception to this though. And given some of the things he's done lately, you can't blame the Australians for hating him.

In your opinion, in the history of Australian cricket, has any Australian ever done anything wrong?

Agree wholeheartedly - sst, I regret to say that your comment on the issue was as predictable as a donkey's clong.

 

[Cevno]

I am not saying this will go to court.
What i am saying is that it should and could if India wants to take the psychological war to the next level.
But a better way would be to press the ca into implementing it's code or The ICC to take action.

 

[sledger]

it cannot go to court, there are no grounds for it whatsoever. The only possible disciplinary action is something imposed by a cricketing body, not the courts.

It can go to court ,if harbhajan and the BCCI wants it to.
Why can it not go to court?What will be the outcome is a different issue.

Rarely has a single smiley been so apt at summing-up the feelings of so many.

haha. Yeah Hayden's comments were probably uncalled for, but if you are going to call anybody in cricket "obnoxious", you can't do much worse than the poor excuse for a human being that is Harbhajan Singh.. Go a year without getting banned ffs..

 

[jeevan]

Not to be lost among other aspects of this episode, is that Harbhajan is in Australia at the invitation of CA, Hayden's direct employer. So Hayden is hosting Harbhajan, so to speak.

Good manners you got there Mr Hayden. To invite someone over and then spit on them.

thats one way of looking at it...I guess

 

[jeevan]

Harbhajan's foibles?

Curious if someone has a list of them. Clearly he's a hot head, but other than with Symonds and the Australians - which are other teams has he gotten into really bad blood with?

Some Australian players, especially Symonds, are such mal-intentioned rabble rousers that I would myself simply discount all incidents involving Symonds for e.g from judging any body.

Hayden said he had repeatedly told Sharma to settle down and yesterday said he would like to meet the bowler in a boxing ring. - Herald Sun

Don't know whether he said it and it is a case of poor reporting though as the newspaper doesn't quote him as saying it

 

[silentstriker]

Someone seriously need to start throwing a punch. Please. This is way too tiring.

it's like watching a bunch of girls.. Throwing punches is why guys are better than girls

Agreed. This is ridiculous stuff. You don't like what someone said? Smash their face in and let's have some entertainment. Either start a fight which will cause people to actually do something about the talk, or shut the hell up.

 

[Swervy]

I am not really too sure why everyone is getting so het up about it to be honest

 

[Ikki]

Hayden's spot on.
