Racial Abuse

[USA]

The Aussie fans in the ground seem to be pulling a Darren Lehman by hurling racial abuse at Indian supporters. This seems to have happened in the test series as well. What the F... is wrong with these guys. You have to be a really dipicable human to do this. No matter how passionate you feel about your team these Aussies have no right to bring race into this. And where are the authorities in this. People should be kicked out right away.

Its just wrong...wrong...wrong.

The staff at the MCG have been given a severe telling off by Cricket Australia, and security is being stepped up for future games, so hopefully we won't see any more incident's like this and when it does hapen, they are dealt with swiftly and with the severity that these scumbags deserve.

Nobody wants a racial barrior developing in Australia, espicially when India and Zimbabwe are playing...

I don't think either of Zimbabwe's supporters have complianed of racial abuse.
Seriously though what do you expect from a crowd who's most clever chant is "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi, Oi, Oi"
Unfortunately racist stupidity isn't limited to Australia, On a previous India tour to NZ in 99 there was excessive amounts of racial abuse to the Indian supporters at both One dayers I attended that season. And on a South African tour here, Some SA "fans" started making racist coments about Maoris, needless to say they got the sh** kicked out of them by some friendly natives and then got ejected from the ground for causing fights. It's stupid enough to make racist comments, but to make racist comments at the opposition's home ground is outright insanity.
