so according to this article, it was just sledging, no racist comments


From that article:

Indian spectator Rishi Aryan, who was seated in the same bay, told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age on Sunday: “All these boys were doing is a bit of sledging of the player on the outfield. First it was Bumrah then they had a sledge against Siraj. They kept calling him Shiraz and all that crap. Next thing you know they said: ‘Welcome to Sydney, Siraj’ and then he got the shits. That was literally it. Then he walked off.

“I don’t know why [the police kicked the men out]. Next thing you know you see police everywhere. It didn’t make sense. It was confusing.”

Just goes to show that the stop in play was really about delaying the game rather than anything serious.

Spot on.

I jumped in the car to go get some stuff for lunch just after the stoppage and one of the ABC commentators mentioned that the Indians has bowled 3/4 overs in 25 minutes.
