The present tour of the Indian team to Australia is not only a tragedy from cricketing point of view but it is also turning out to be a catastrophe as far as public manners goes.
Paceman Ishant Sharma showed his middle finger to the assembled cricket fans as he the length of with his teammates, went to do go-karting at a local club, Indian television channels reported on Monday.
Quite a few Indian cricketers, as well as skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and batting icon Sachin Tendulkar, went for go karting and were in fact messy to see a posse of TV cameras and media persons next them in hot trail.
Despite all attempt to keep the media out of bounds, they could have their pictures and videos much to the cricketers' annoyance. It apparently led to Sharma showing his middle finger to a heckling crowd which had also met there, the reports claimed.
It's the second time when an Indian cricketer has shown his middle finger at fans during the tour. Virat Kohli did so throughout the second Test at SCG and was fined 50 per cent of his match fees.
Indian team's media manager GS Walia said he was not conscious of any such incident.
"I am not aware of any such incident (Ishant showing the middle finger)", he said.
Walia also spring to the defence of Indian cricketers who are being roundly criticized for attending a go-karting session as a substitute of attending nets, saying it was a way of destressing.
"The team had also gone for a cycling session ahead of the Perth Test of 2007-08 and they finished up winning the Test", he said.
