The Cricket Australia authority did not restrict its players to evade criticism of rival teams,each player in mid of the series was free to launch irrational remarks in the media.ICC also played its role in making mountains out of molehills in the name of rules.Till the last match they chased Harbhajan to mentally pin him down.
The report of PTI says Australian media reports had claimed that Harbhajan had made monkey gestures towards the Sydney crowd during the first final of the tri-series against Australia yesterday and even spat in anger while fielding at the boundary ropes.

“I have investigated the alleged incident with Cricket Australia’s ground security officials after reading newspaper reports and viewing related photographs that have been published.

“After reviewing all available information, I conclude that there is no need to take any action against Harbhajan Singh,” Crowe said in a statement, issued by the International Cricket Council.
Harbhajan, who had hit headlines throughout the long tour for being at the centre of off-field controversies, proved to be the nemesis of Australian all rounder Andrew Symonds, claiming him in both the tri-series finals while also cheaply removing another detractor Matthew Hayden at Sydney.

“As cricket became a contact sport, Australia were pitchforked out of the finals in straight sets by an Indian side which had the last laugh after a bitter summer of explosive tensions,” said leading newspaper ‘The Daily Telegraph’.

Australian Associated Press (AAP) reported the home side’s plight under the title ‘Australia sunk in straight sets’ after Ricky Ponting’s men lost to India by nine runs and 2-0 in the best-of-three finals.

“Instead of a fitting one-day farewell for retiring wicketkeeper (Adam) Gilchrist, it was controversial spinner Harbhajan Singh who laughed last and loudest, lapping up the triumph on the Gabba boundary in front of ecstatic expat fans,” the paper said.

Heandline of the main article in another national daily ‘The Australian’ aptly summed up the tour as it said - ‘A summer of spite ends in Indian glory’.PTI

Ricky Ponting and his batting line up must know to focus the game and their consistent win in past has blown their ego to proportion beyond their persona.
In spite of India’s win team needs consistent win in coming series to prove their supremacy in the game.Australian and Indian series and matches has become hot favorites of the game.Two are maintaining the International standards minus etiquette.

A team making charges against their rival team and if charge is not found fit by ICC then the team leveling false charges must be fine too so that their efforts to create panic in other team is avoided and the process of sledging can be mitigated.
