In so far as the mocking tone used by Hayden to mimic how Indians speak is used derogatorily and as a marker of identity, shouldn't this also qualify as racism? In which case, shouldn't the ICC be acting peremptorily rather than wait for the BCCI lodge a protest? Would k-i-c care to explain?

Hayden was trying his best to speak in Ishant Sharma's accent. How is that racist?

k-i-c

well, thanks for answering on my behalf.

i dont find this racist. in poor taste, yes. racist, no.

The keyword used by fever is "also".
But, predictably, you missed out on it.

In otherwords, if monkey can be deemed racist, so can this.

i was not replying to fever .. i was just putting forth my view on the incident .. meanwhile, i saw you had already made a comment on my behalf ..so, was just thanking you for taking on the role of spokesperson

I think a nice way to sledge Hayden would be to ask him after he misses a ball, "What would Christ do"? Bound to get under his skin.

and uthappa and SS would be the people to do it. Takes care of the religious abuse angle!
