Revenge of the monkeys

"Aussie louts throw egg at Murali, teammates"- HINDUSTAN TIMES

Soon after Monkeygate — or Maa ki gate, if you will — comes news that does nothing for Australia’s image. Late on Thursday night, men in Hobart threw eggs at a group of Sri Lankans, including Muttiah Muralitharan. A Lankan selector walking with them was hit in the face by an egg.

Bhajji just said 'bandar'( according to me). These guys are worse. Spreading bird flu by throwing eggs.

Shriyan Samararatne, the Lanka team manager, told HT, “Our guys (four of them) were walking back to the hotel when somebody threw an egg from a car at them.” He wouldn’t say who the egg was intended for, saying the car was being driven fast and perhaps the people in it “were drunk”. But Murali’s was easily the most recognisable face in the group.

It was aimed at poor Murali. They did not like him for going past Warne.

CA’s Peter Young said police were looking into the matter. “We understand that on their way back to the hotel on Thursday evening in Hobart, a few members of the Sri Lankan team were abused by some local youths,” said Young. “One of them threw something at them.

Remember the fuss the Aussies made in Vadodara and Mumbai?

“It’s regrettable and CA condemns it... Ricky Ponting has made an appeal to the public to treat visiting players with the respect they deserve.”

Start with yourself first. Bhashan baazi later please.
