The article says a lot about the bias 'neutral' officials have against
players of the subcontinent. Rashid Latif's case is an eye opener for
a lot of people.

We still don't know (for certain) the grounds on which the Aussies
were believed over the Indians, but they were 5 aussies (if i'm not
mistaken) and only 3 indians and that might have tilted the balance.
It is not acceptable, though - you are right.

I still dont feel the tour should be called off. If anything, the
players should be more keen to get out there and prove that they are
the better side (which they definitely were in Sydney, even with a
highly depleted bowling attack.) Protesting against the ban and
calling off the tour are different things. I'm not against protesting
at all.

Lets see how things go though.
