The decision of the ICC appeal commissioner John Hansen on the issue of racial abuse case between Indian off spinner Hurbhajan Singh and Australian all rounder Andrew Symonds during the second test match of the India - Australia test series is not rational. It was undoubtedly cleared during prosecution and clearly stated fact in the verdict of Mr. Hansen, that actually it was Symonds who is responsible for unnecessary and anti cricket issues in the field. But even after all this the person who has the core responsibility of the unfortunate happenings has escaped without punishment through this verdict and the punishment of Hurbhajan has limited to fine. It is the another observation by Mr Hansen in his report, that the statements made in front of the commission by some Australian players are lacking authenticity and honesty. On all these grounds it is very clear that a counter attack by the Australians to the Indian off spinner is what that was happened. But Hurbhajan only got the punishment. Even though Indian player cleared racial abuse case, there is no warning for Australian's negative way of aggressive cricket.
Hurbhajan extended wrong words to Symonds, that is a fact. So a punishment for him is unavoidable. But who is responsible of that worst scene? That question was not considered here rationally. Here another interesting point is that the punishment for a 'monkey' calling is more than the same for a wrong word about one's mother. Here what Hurbhajan has done is the needy reply for the nuisance in the play ground.
