Hi John:

   You wrote – “Even Cameron White who cant get in the Australian Team is getting
paid more than a lot of the so called Indian stars” I don’t know, who is this
“Cameron White”? Maybe, he is some local Australian player (I don’t care)! But,
your captain Ricky Ponting is definitely getting much lesser money than what
17-year Ishant is getting. Ishant has even surpassed Brett Lee, Shane Warne and
Glenn McGrath. Tell me, who else is your super-star!!

   But, I am glad Symonds has been offered great money! There is an old saying –
if you offer only peanuts, you get only monkeys :-)

like all the sly Indian cricketers do... Even
Sachin Tendulkar was proven to be a bare faced liar after the Sydney
Test. Symonds is also a far far better player than any of the Indians
except maybe Tendulkar and that's why hes getting paid so well as he can
win games off his batting or bowling, he bowls medium pace or spin.

Indians should have immense respect for Symonds for his incredible
talent and not taunt him as a monkey... Even Cameron White who cant get
in the Australian Team is getting paid more than a lot of the so called
Indian stars... Hah hahhh hahhh what a joke its just too funny.

If an Australian player racially taunted an Indian I bet the Indians
would go absolutely mad as all hell, threaten to go home etc etc....
And the strange thing is India is probably the most racist country in
the world. The Indian Caste System is pure 100% racism.... I have Indian
friends who tell me their fathers wont let them marry a person from a
"lower caste"... Unbelievable!

payment

I felt it to be quite inappropriate to pay such huge amounts to
Australian players who have the least respect for values of the game and
treat other players like crap. The worst is Symonds getting more than
all of our favourite stars. The same guy who said it irritates him to
see the Indian players doing ads and got aggressive when our player
admired an Aussie bowler. Misbehaviour may be acceptable for some in the
heat of the game, but it would be quite annoying if they keep doing it
for decades without having any sense of guilt and justify their acts
fiercely.

Shame on Deccan Chronicle management for banking on INDIAN cricket fans
to pay hefty amounts to those who have little or no respect for us
"INDIANS".

The first thing I'm going to do now is to un-subscribe Deccan Chronicle
and practice monkey taunts for the forthcoming IPL Hyderabad team's
match. Monkey taunt was never a racist gesture in India and even if
people disagree, they got to admit that it is acceptable if the term
"bastard" is a friendly one( as per the Aussie players)
