This will make seeing Indian blood on the pitch at the WACA even more entertaining.

I hope Lee "accidentally" lets fly with a few beamers...

The second tee shirt in particular is very nasty imo , don't know how they can call us racist and then sell those ?

There's market for everything Father, and there's always someone ready to make a quick buck.

I seen similar stuff in Australia, especially in the last 10 years.

A brief flurry of bumper stickers saying 'f**k off back to where you came from' - or words to that effect - seem to pop up about five years ago. Nothing tongue-in-cheek about them either, just plain racial hatred.

The Cronulla race riot rings a bell too.

Of course some folks still think that incident is about blaming the 'other side'.

seriously, i think a guy getting banned for three matches for calling someone a monkey is rubbish. If Andrew Symonds was upset at that then he has got some real problems, heck i wouldnt be surprised if he returned in kind with some choice words of his own... i m also guessing that the verbal 'attack' came out of nowhere, the taunting comes from both sides. Its a competitive sport and the Australians are teh most ruthless cricketers in the world, heck i think they are damaging test cricket by the ridiculousness of the scores and beatings they put down on other teams.

Well unless Habajan was living under a rock, he must have known that it was considered a racial slur.

Every man and his dog was on notice about this, but he had a go anyway.

Perhaps he's just one these blokes who thinks there no room for racism in sport.

You're just making stuff up now.

I remember seeing "Osama bin Laden 9/11" t-shirts on sale in Thailand in 2002. Should've bought one, that'd be something for the Time Capsule under the Gregson Performing Arts Centre...
