On the Sydney Incident

If the BCCI is convinced that ANDY SYMONDS is the one who initiated the abusive language, then why doesn't the BCCI issue a single statement to the world media, something like this: "We shall NEVER play against any team of which ANDY SYMONDS is a member. If Mr. Symonds wishes to apologise and make restitution then we are willing to reconsider our decision. Otherwise the above resolution stays permanently." 

BCCI being the richest in the whole world can easily afford to lose the small sums. They might earn by playing against scoundrels such as Symonds. But imagine what an effect it will have on all world class cricketers. "Hey, I've got to buck up and avoid all abusive language when dealing with Indians."
