Since the victim is white, no hate is involved....impossible. Everyone knows hate only goes in the other direction. Right?
"In the first test in Perth last month, South African players Makhaya Ntini, Justin Prince, Garnett Kruger and Shaun Pollock were taunted in Afrikaans. "
This story is confusing to me. Afrikaans is the Dutch-based language spoken by the whites in South Africa. And the article says they were taunted in Austrailia. Exactly who was taunting this dude?
In response to the article...big deal.

Umm,allow me to tell a thing or 2 about cricket & cricket spectators in general.Like all sport,cricket also has it's fair share of hooligans in it's fanbase,which is visible in every following nation.But,for right or for wrong,Australian fans have always been viewed as illmannered.Indian,Pakistani,South African & even English players have been subject to abuse(racial or otherwise).The last time South Africa toured Australia,in 2001-02,much the same allegations came up.
About Nel,well if he complains,it's a case of the pot calling the kettle black.He is one perv who get's hauled up or fined for one of every 2 matches he plays and the way he abuses opposing players is open to all.
At least they didn't call him a "chucker" - surely the worst insult of all!
