Does Chris Broad have problem with Asians?
It is not just Indians but Pakistanis too have experienced his biased attitudes.
Would he ban Dhoni today in the 3rd and the last test match against WI??

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has again accused International Cricket Council match referees of being biased against Asian players after Zaheer Khan was fined for a code of conduct breach.

India paceman Khan was fined 80 percent of his match fee by match referee Chris Broad of England after he pleaded guilty to a level two charge following the second Test against Australia on Tuesday.

The left-arm paceman appeared to say something to opener Matthew Hayden following the batsman's dismissal before tea on Monday's fourth day.

"If he swore at him, if he abused him, he obviously deserves to get punished," Gavaskar said on Wednesday.

"But let's not mince words here. Every time, it is always an Indian or a sub-continent player who gets hauled up, never the Australians.

"There were a lot of incidents in the match. "Do you remember Virender Sehwag batting in the second innings was given not out where everybody appealed and (Australia captain) Ricky Ponting came from extra cover towards the umpire and kept on asking again?

"Now if that had been an Indian, the match referee would have taken him to task, fined him... This is where I think the ICC needs to actually get its act together."

India won the contest by 320 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series ahead of the third Test starting on October 29.

Gavaskar resigned as ICC cricket committee chairman in May after being asked to choose between his position with the sport's governing body and his job as a paid media pundit over concerns about a conflict of interest.

In January, he claimed white ICC match referee Mike Procter was biased against Indian players because of their skin colour, after the South African found spinner Harbhajan Singh guilty of racially abusing Andrew Symonds in the Sydney Test.

Gambhir ban: ‘Give it back, but don’t look stupid’


Gautam Gambhir's one-Test ban has again drawn attention to the acrimony that has marred India's recent tussles with Australia.

Gambhir was suspended by International Cricket Council (ICC) match referee Chris Broad on Friday for elbowing Shane Watson while taking a run on the opening day of the third Test in New Delhi on Wednesday.

Team India’s ‘Save Dhoni’ campaign

In the Barbados Test, Dhoni knew all along that he was behind the required rate in a stipulated time but even he was guilty of not rushing up the matter. Dhoni, being an innovative captain, keeps shuffling his fielders constantly and it doesn't help in finishing the overs in time.

He did try getting Suresh Raina to bowl his off-spinners on the last afternoon in a bid to speed up the rate but it only marginally helped the matter

Where ar ethe bloopers? Isnt this exactly the same way the Indians and Pakistanis treated Daryl Hair, even when he was proved to be correct in the calls he made? You even point to another incident where Gavaskar accused an official of being a racist for banning Herbie after he went bananas and racially abussed a player.

Doesnt it actually suggest that these players/teams are the ones with the problem, if there is one, or that its maybe just a perception issue? Strikes me certain people are being very precious and cant accept that they may have been in teh wrong. Remeber the Pakistani board denying that their had been any worng doing and making all kinds of threats last summer, what a joke.

Its a bit rough to be chucking out accusations of racism based on 3 calls all of which have to be assessed by the ICC, none of which are that controversial.

Does Gavaskar have a problem with white people?

This question is just as pertinent/racist as the one you posed

At the moment, I'd say Stuart Broad has more of a problem with Aiming.

That said, he has just got his first wicket of the ODI series.

more of an anti Asian than Indian

Complete nonsense to be honest. The players in question breached the rules, and were therefore punished accordingly.

On a side note, do not let this thread descend into anything remotely racist or it will be locked faster than you can say Chris Broad dislikes Asians.

Thank you mister moderator, but all the evidence of Chris Broad's bloopers proving nothing but he is baised against Asians, IF NOT RACIST.
All please stcik to word "biased"

Active, when you think about the Test playing nations, 4 of them are from Asia, I believe. That is a pretty high percentage, and therefore it is inevitable that Broad will be refereeing games involving Asian teams on a regular basis. I wouldn't say he was biased, and certainly not racist, but what I would say is that the probability of decisions he makes involving Asians is hardly a small one.

Do you not believe Stuart Broad (like many other Oz and Eng culprits) got off the hook lightly in the following incidents??
Imagine how would have he been treated (by his dad) if there was an Asian player, in this case the match referee was Ranjan Madugalle.

England v Pakistan: Plot thickens as Stuart Broad is blamed for Zulqarnain Haider's injury

Not for the first time the Oval Test promises to be a controversial affair, after suggestions from Pakistan that Stuart Broad's petulant throw at Zulqarnain Haider at Edgbaston could have caused the fracture that threatens to keep him out of the third Test, which starts on Wednesday.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/international/pakistan/7946867/England-v-Pakistan-Plot-thickens-as-Stuart-Broad-is-blamed-for-Zulqarnain-Haiders-injury.html

Active, you are suggesting that Chris Broad is an untrustworthy and corrupt official - pretty serious claims to be making when your evidence is based on nothing but your own opinion.

As I said above, a high percentage of Test playing nations are from Asia, and therefore he will referee a lot of Tests involving Asian nations. I am sure he deals with every incident as he sees fit, regardless of whether they're black, white, green, or called Stuart Broad.

Chris Broad does have a serious chip on his shoulder when it comes to Asian sides.

Whether he racist or not, who cares.

But Chris Broad wasnt the Umpire or match referee in those cases, so what youre saying is that other (sometimes Asian) officials are favouring Stuart Broad.

Whether you are a racist or not it would be nice if you contributed something other than constant whinging, wild accusations, or just straight abuse toward English or England cricket.

The PCB are constantly banning their players, does that mean they have a chip on their shoulder regarding Pakistanis?

I think theres a reason I missed the point....

Your question is does Chris Broad have a problem with Asians? The evcidence you offer that he does is that his son wasnt banned by an Asian umpire for doing something different.

What is the point you are trying to make?

That Asians love Stuart Broad despite his dad hating them?

Frankly this started silly and has stayed there. Just because Gavaskar does have a problem with any Umpire or referee that calls against India it doesnt automaticaly make Chris Broad biassed. Hes never had the opportunity to ban his son, because the regulations are set to avoid .... bias.
The ICC reviews, assess and moderates any sanctions handed out by their officials. They dont have a problem with Broad, hes very highly rated. But then the ICC has a lot of Asians and they love the Broads apparently (steadfastly refuses to ban Stewart, promoting Chris). So Maybe what we have here is a conspiracy by the Asians in the ICC to promote the Broads so that they can continue their bias against the Asiains. Makes no sense at all really.

So OK the point is that Chris Broad doesnt have a problem with Asians beyond a few internet nutjobs, and any team he makes a call against.

indianmonk:

Nothing of the sort. Having taken the time to read all the comments on this thread (although not the links provided) its patently obvious that Seabiscuit is merely pointing out the flaws in others' arguments.

A number of people appear to be accusing both Stuart Broad and his father of having problems with Asian players and as far as I can tell, all PSW is doing is showing them where their logic falls down.

I'd say he's doing them a service.

i just saw a comment fro gavaskar saying to indian cricketers, put tests before ipl....

that is good to see

wow wow seabiscuit slow down you are trying to wheel down others opinion just because it does not suit you. it is not gavasker who has a problem with chris broad it is broad who is biased & also racist, remove your prejudiced blinkers and see his actions on indians/asians

But noone has yet constructed an argument that suggests he is biassed or racist or presented any evidence that he is. Im not even clear that thats the point the guy who started this is trying to make, I cant decode his witterings.
If you think Broad is a racist please show some evidence and construct a reasoned argument, then Ill listen. Untill then Ill continue to poke fun and riduclous contradictory statements.
If Broad is racist against Asians because he banned them when his son wasnt banned by Asians then surely that makes the Asians positive discriminators in favout of a guy whos father is racially prejudiced against them. Its a ludicrous logic chain an not based on any kind of reasonable view of what has actually happened or the characther of the people involved (so far as we know it).
Broad is hardly special or unique in having upset Indians or Pakistanis, that to me suggests either theres a massive amount of racist officials out there (which kind of makes you wonder how India managed to win the world cup and get to numebr one in the test rankings) or its peopel like Gavaskar and internerds like you who have "a problem".

Meanwhile Chris Broad remains a highly repsected senior match official from a country with a large Asian population, appointed and reviewed by an organisation with a large Asian component. That his son is a petulant brat and probably should have been banned (by Asians) is another issue entirely.

Frankly Im embaressed that I bothered to grace this with a serious response.

How did is c*ap get on here???

If Broad was that bad of an official I am sure he wouldn't be trusted as a match referee.

I think before this whole anti-asian gets any worse, I might point to the direction of the ill fated Test Match between Pakistan and England in where the umpire was somewhat 'bias' in 1987??

Don't think Chris Broad is a racist. However, there is a strong perception that he is a touch too close to some players, and they tend to get away with offensives for which others would get a greater punishment. In the Gambhir v Shane Watson issue, and the Benn v Mitch Johnson issue, such perceptions did gain pretty strong ground. it was reported that Ricky Ponting, and Broad share a pretty strong friendship, and this in fact has led to Broad being lenient to some of the Australian players. Personally, I would have Broad pretty low down in my pecking order of ICC referees.

As a proud West Indian, I'm used to the Windies beating England into a pulp.

Being a match referee, surely a component of that job is to remain impartial no matter what nations are being refereed?

The fact you are claiming that Broad has an agenda is quite frankly laughable and such a daft, libelous claim that I can't help but laugh. As a match referee, he has guidelines to adhere to and has to ensure both teams are sticking to the laws of the sport.

If teams flout the rules, they have to be reprimanded, it happens to all nations, not just the asian playing nations.

i must admit this is one of the most ridiclous articles i have ever read!

It amazes me how he continues to be match referee.

Any reasoning behind that?

I dont know how this gem escaped my attention but i am glad i saw it as it gave me a bit of a laugh

especially in light of Harpers latest press release regarding Indian players...

People need to understand that an official who criticises your team is not automatically a racist.

Officials whose previous career was as a pro Cricketer playing in England like Mr Broad will have spent their entire working life with players of Indian, West Indian, Pakistani and Sri Lankan origin - let alone the Kenyans, Zimbabweans Saffers etc etc and never in that time has there ever been a whiff of racism associated with him.

Then he hands down a couple of verdicts you don't like and has skin a different colour so he must be a racist?

Please don't ever try to walk and chew gum at the same time.

Is an it isnt. My point that the Indian team is running into trouble by critisizing several officials suggestst that the problem is from their side, not from the officials. Do Harper, Hair, Bucknoor and Broad all have a problem with Asians, or do some players and coaches have a problem with Umpires and referees who make calls against them?
Eitehr theres a mass global cosnipracy against India, or Harper has a point. Guys like Broad are doing the best they can, accussing them of bias ( and other people then taking this as evidence of racism) is bullying and doesnt make their job any easier.
Critising Broad for bias when he punishes Indians for indiscretions is relevant to Harper questioning why Dhoni was allowed to question his integrity in a game, treat him with direspect during it, and then publicaly critisize him after without any action from the match referee or ICC.

No the situations are very different.

Mr Harper named the Indians and far as i can remember Mr Broad has not.

There is a major respect issue in cricket and Mr Harper has a very real and valid point but he just should have chosen his words more wisely.

Judging by Kumars words to Erasmus today it appears that theres another umpire that has a problem with Asians.

It must be so tough when everyones out to get you.
