This Cricket Malarky......

Dont get me no wrong, Im no fan of the Aussies, but this cricket race row saga seems very strange and unfait to me.

- Singh calls Symonds a monkey
- Singh gets punished
- India throw hissy fit and refuse to play the game against the Aussies
- ICC give in and abolish Singhs ban/punishment and change the umpire for them
- India agree to play

Am I missing some vital points which make this seem fair? Because at teh moment it seems far from it!!
