Akhil thinks that the racist behaviour of the crowd was a sham. The real problem apparently seems that the crowd doesn’t like his haircut. :)

Earlier, I asked fellow blogger Ottayan and he said that he too got a similar explanation. I am sure more than half of the crowd present at Mumbai and Vadodra had skin colour darker than Symonds’. Further, how many Indian’s know that Andrew Symonds has a ‘black’ lineage? Let’s dig deeper into it, how many West Indians have complained about such ‘monkey chants’ from Indians? I think you get what I am saying.

Therefore, it has led me to conclude that the only possible rational explanation to these monkey chants lies somewhere else. Something that the media–in Australia and India–has totally missed in its hurry to earn some TRP. Andrew Symonds’ haircut.
