I want to agree but then again wasn't Mcgrath's wife being treated for cancer at the time? I know Mcgrath was wrong but Sarwan's reply went perhaps a bit too far if she was.
I think she was.. That was probably why McGrath totally and understandably flipped...

However didnt Sarwan lose his childhood sweetheart to a car crash not that long ago?? I may be wrong, but if so it was hardly the time to be thundering in calling him a c***sucker

McGrath: Hey, what does Brian Lara's c--k taste like?
Sarwan: I don't know, ask your wife?
McGrath: If you ever f---ing mention my wife again, I will f---ing rip your f--ing throat out.

Whos lying?.

Looks to me like both posts tell the same story.

"Hey, what does Brian Lara's c--k taste like?" kind of implies "calling him a c***sucker".

Fairly basic biology.

Nonetheless, I'm not liking where this is headed.. Short Leash!

And financially ruin themselves, yeah good idea that.
So in effect what youre saying is that UCBSA wanted the money, MIke deness wanted his ego intact , ICC wanted theirs inflated, and India should have shut up in the face of such discrimination ?

Discrimination, what the hell are you talking about, it was simply not being able to accept the umpires decision. Poor sportsmanship and selfishness nothing else.

If it weren't for the Indian players actions, it wouldn't have happened in the first place.

I personally don't see how the UCBSA can be blamed for the BCCI refusing to accept a decision by the referee.
Well, I have never said that Indian players were not guilty. They Were Guilty of Over appealing but not SLEDGING or Racial abuse.

Is it really that hard to understand ?? 8-)

UCBSA refuased to follow ICC decision for money and became responsible in this whole issue.

Why dont you name a Single Indian Player who refused to accept the Umpire's any decision ??

Their hand was forced - couldn't afford to refuse to play India because of the money they'd have lost.

Denness' whole charge was ludicrous in the first place. The South African players were equally guilty of 'excessive appealing' as the Indians in that particular game, yet he didn't bat an eyelid with respect to them.
