35	y.chalapathi rao	india	There is nothing wrong in calling people manking monkey acts as monkey whether it is Symonds or myself.It is a commonly used word in India. Cricket is a no longer a gentlemen game and all type of monkey acts are seen in cricket now a days. Dragging Hidu worship in this affair will have its own repurcussions. One should learn to respect religion.
