The Harbies

Keeping up with my daily newspaper surfing activity, I stumbled upon a tongue-in-cheek piece by Aussie scribe Robert Craddock in The Daily Telegraph. It is an absolute must-read, sarca-take on the fallout of the Harbhajan racism row.

And here it goes:

IT'S time for Cricket Australia to scrap its Allan Border Medal night and introduce a concept that would grab the cricket world . . . The Harbies.

The writer comes up with fitting award categories like - The Best Foreign Language Actor, which of course goes to Harbhajan Singh himself, and then the Spirit of Cricket, which he reckons must be given to the Aussie team for them signing the "Spirit of Cricket" pact with Cricket Australia.

THE laughably highbrow Spirit of Cricket pact signed by Australia's leading players, particularly the clause in which they promise to respect other cultures.

Just read it for more of these nominations and awardees, for now I ask - Are the Oscars happening this year ?
