Colonial game; colonial mindset; colonial treatment

I don't watch cricket.

I used to love it. Love it. The match fixing scandal was so devastating I never went back to it, except on rare occasions when Sachin shows glimpses of his greatness.

This episode with Australia touched a nerve.

One man's word against another. How do you decide?

Australian witnesses, a South African referee, a British lawyer. Indian guilty. We have heard this before. In countless stories of "White man's burden" in India. Bhagat Singh to VOC. Similar court, Similar circumstances, same old verdict.

Indian is guilty. Alright.
Does he lack spine as well?

Well this time, I don't think they lack spine...but that still remains to be seen.

They are arm twisting again with their financial clout.
