Witnesses Describe Shooting Scene
I have been reading alot of the posts and I am seeing alot of name calling and down right ugliness. This is not supposed to be how we act in hard times. We need to leave the investigating up to officials, and comfort eachother. We need to all remember that his friends didn't shoot anyone or do any harm, so the hurtful things that some of you are saying about them are very unnessesary. Hold on tight to the ones you love, and try not to let this murderer keep you from living your life. Love you all.

Discipline Harbhajan: Australians
Cricket Australia was quick to reprimand Matthew Hayden when he called Harbhajan "a little obnoxious weed" in a radio interview, and believes the Indian spinner has not been held to the same standards. Cricket Australia had refrained from publicly expressing its frustrations about Harbhajan but held private discussions with the Indian board and received assurances its problem child would be counselled about the difference between provocative remarks and personal abuse. India twice threatened to take its bat and ball and go home if Harbhajan was not cleared of racially abusing Andrew Symonds, a decision that would have cost Cricket Australia millions of dollars. With the tour finished when the spinner delivered his latest insults after India's triumphant homecoming, Sutherland took a more direct approach.
