[POLL] Did Harbhajan say it? A Sri Lankan perspective

I know you are as keen as I am to know where Sri Lankans stand on the current racism issue. Harbhajan Sing was banned for 3 Test matches for calling Andrew Symonds a 'Monkey'. The Indian camp including Harbhajan deny making the remark, whilst Symonds and the Australians are 100% convinced he said it and seem very hurt by the comments.

No concrete evidence has surfaced to prove that Singh in fact made the remark. Sachin Tendulkar stands by Harbhajan and testified in support of him during the hearing. Sachin was the only player within hearing range to have picked anything up.

What do you think? Vote below and see the result for yourselves.

[Video] When Sabina Park woke up to Mahela | World Cup Semi Final 2007

It takes a lot to impress them here at Sabina Park. Many of the locals who came through the turnstiles were weaned on some of the game's all-time greats. Some were here in 1983, when Viv Richards hit a violent 36-ball 61 to transform a dying Test into an improbable triumph, and those whose memories stretch back further can recall the silken strokeplay of Lawrence Rowe.

So when they started purring towards the end of Mahela Jayawardena's innings, you knew you were watching something special. -Cricinfo
