Dilip thinks the real issue is not that Symonds was taunted.

You see, I couldn’t really care less about whether what cricket fans have been shouting at Andrew Symonds constitutes racism. I also think all international sportsmen must and do eventually develop a thick skin; they learn to take abuse and answer it on their terms. And I’m uninterested in the argument that says Aussie crowds do the same (which they do, notably with one Muralitharan), so why the complaints now?

No, what gets me is this: why would we be so hypocritical as to deny that people have been shouting this stuff and taunting Symonds?

While Bhupinder at Krishworld     thinks that it is sad that we do not accept that it is racism.

The sorry part of the story is that no one the Indian side, including Mr Pawar wants to call it racism. They are at best, “complying with the ICC’s rules.”
