Harbhajan Singh vows to continue on-field antics
Indian spinner (and IPL Mumbai player) Harbhajan Singh has left a bitter message to the hostile Australian crowds — the off-spinner says he would continue his on-field antics.
Harbhajan Singh was embroiled in a series of rows during India’s just-concluded tour of Australia, including an allegation by Andrew Symonds about a racist taunt. He was found not guilty much to the anger of Aussie media.
Later Mathew Hayden called Harbhajan Singh an ‘obnoxious little weed’ and the Aussie crowd in the stadiums continuously targeted him. Mathew Hayden escaped punishment with a reprimand, but Harbhajan Singh had poetic justice as he was instrumental in the fall of both Andrew Symonds and Mathew Hayden in the Commonwealth Bank tri-series final which India won 2-0.
Harbhajan Singh later said Mathew Hayden’s comment only inspired him to perform better.
Mathew Hayden has been bagged by the Chennai IPL team promoted by India Cements and Andrew Symonds would play for Hyderabad IPL team, promoted by Deccan Chronicle.
We can’t help grinning at the fireworks that would have erupted had Andrew Symonds and Harbhajan Singh landed up in the same IPL team though!
WHY DOES THE MUMBAI TEAM NOT HAVE A BETTER NAME LIKE ALL THE OTHER TEAMS.
WE NEED TO BE CALLED “HOT MUMBAIKARS” OR SOMETHING EVEN MORE CATCHY
