Australia spinner Brad Hogg now charged Level 3
Sydney second test between India and Australia has become infamous for the players of two teams labeling charges on each other on very trivial matters of outburst of verbatim in heat of the game which may not be decent in public.Players going to the official with their reports as crybabies exhibits the degradation of International standards of cricket playing countries.
Match ought to be played in the game of spirit has been lost somewhere in woods of the mind jungle.A little smile on each players of the two teams can bring back the standards of the game to back to its lost glory.The Intellectual of the great cricket playing nations wants the match to be played in the best of spirit or cancel their obligation and wait for the wisdom to prevail.
Not it is turn of Australia spinner Brad Hogg was today charged under Level 3 of the International Cricket Council's Code of Conduct following allegations that he verbally abused Indian skipper Anil Kumble and Mahendra Singh Dhoni.Instead of team playing on field,the players are to report to the judiciary court for their acts on the fields a school time discipline which needs to be corrected.
Hogg is accused of making the remarks during the final day of the controversial second Test in Sydney.
Under the terms of the Code, ICC Match Referee Mike Procter will hold a hearing as soon as reasonably practicable. The preliminary date for the hearing is set for 14 January in Perth, an ICC press release said.
The alleged offense has been reported under paragraph 3.3 of the ICC Code of Conduct which refers to players or team officials "using language or gestures that offends, insults, humiliates, intimidates, threatens, disparages or vilifies another person on the basis of that person's race, religion, gender, colour, descent, or national or ethic origin." Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was also reported under the same clause and later found guilty of racially abusing Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds.
The penalty is a ban of between two and four Test matches or between four and eight one-day internationals, the release said.
Law is created to keep the human mind check but not in gentleman's game one is playing the least and is worried about to have a catch of words from the opponents rather than catch the cherry to send his opponents out.
The peoples feel on both side that we are unable to keep the good manners in or off the field intact it is better to play or to ostracize both teams for entering into the venture of international cricket.
Good relation between two nations are more important than playing and pinning each other with flimsy and whimsical lower mind attitude towards the game.Game must be played with elite etiquettes and higher mind spirit which understands the language of gestures and not that of verbatim outbursts

If the Indians were insulted as much as they say (so insulted they waited 3-4 days to bring the matter up) then Hogg should go for 2 matches. The funny thing about it is that it would only be a virtual 1 match suspension as you couldn’t see him playing in Perth anyway.
It should be noted that when Ponting reported Harbhajan (moments after the incident occurred) he was following the process that he was asked too.
Surely you can’t condone Racial Abuse of any kind? Soccer in Europe plays in front of empty stadiums because fans can’t help but make racial abuse. Surely cricket should pride itself on trying to make the community better and try to educate the community.
The local football code, the AFL, took on the racial abuse problem and made some hard decisions and the game and community is much better for it.
Hopefully Crickets strong stance helps the community. Hopefully they don’t back down and send the message that if you have enough money/power you can do what ever you want and respect no one!

But is it? Isn’t it a community story as it deals with Racial and other abuse. The AFL looked at it as a Community issue and dealt with it and they have been able to improve it no end.
