'Monkey' talks and the Pandora's Box.

This could be the most telling of all comments on the latest Harbhajan Singh/ Andrew Symonds episode.

 

Former Australian captain Mark Taylor feared Ponting had opened up a can of worms and potential tit for tat citings by rival captains over on-field behaviour.

 

"I think Ricky has opened up Pandora's Box in terms of this," Taylor said.

 

"The Australians play tough cricket and make the odd chirp, if this goes any further I am sure there will be other times when Ricky Ponting will be on the other side of the ledger when the Australian team make the chirp."

 

So no is above slipping in a racial comment, isn't it.
