Harbhajan Singh, Bhajji, TurbanatorIn the most recent of stupid and completely baseless allegations, the Australian public targeted Harbhajan Singh for allegedly making monkey gestures at the Sydney crowd in the first final of the Commonwealth Bank series. According some members of the crowd, Harby had made monkey gestures by scratching both armpits directed towards the spectators. However, the ICC has cleared Bhajji of any misgivings as there is no evidence.

Allan Border has come to the Indian’s defence. “I was over that side of the ground and Harbhajan was copping a fair bit of stick from the crowd. I didn’t notice any gestures at all and I thought he handled himself pretty well. I’m not so sure how serious it is,” Border said.

On the contrary, it was the Sydney crowd that was passing all sorts of racist remarks at the off-spinner. Not one to take things quietly, Bhajji turned towards the crowd and spat in their direction. This after a match-turning spell that snagged Matthew Hayden and Andrew Symonds when both were looking to take the match away from the visitors.

Harby, it seems, is not going to have an easy time in the next ODI as well. To end his misery, India should win the next match and take the trophy and go home early. Knowing Bhajji, he will be fully charged for the next match to prove a point.
