Racism charges against Harbhajan dropped, Australia tour continues
The hearing in Harbhajan Singh's appeal against a three-Test ban commenced at the Adelaide Federal Court on Tuesday and according to sources, a compromise formula has been worked out between the two teams.
India's Sachin Tendulkar and Austrailian captain, Ricky Ponting have written a letter to the presiding judge, Justice John Hansen to reduce Harbhajan's charges from Level 3.3 to level 2.8 only — from charges of racial abuse to using offensive language.
Level 2.8 carries a fine of 50 to 100 per cent of the match fee and can also result in a one Test or two ODI ban.
Harbhajan has been accused of making a racist remark to Australian player Andrew Symonds during the second Test in Sydney earlier this month. Match Referee Mike Procter subsequently slapped the ban on the Indian off-spinner.
ICC-appointed Justice Hansen had said on Monday that additional evidence — including chat transcripts — available from the stump microphone, would be taken into account.

They didn't have much of a case.
Its learnt that both Ponting and Tendulkar wrote letters seeking withdrawal of charges.
Meanwhile Team India has thanked all its fans and BCCI for the support

Anyways, nice to see the board backing the team, for once sachin stood up and the board can't do anything against it  that is his power 
But one has to appreciate bhajji for his mental strength.

Bhajji must have been traumatized, hence he was left away from the 3rd match |

he was left away cos he didn't find a place in the team for the 3rd match. You can't play 2 spinners in Perth. And Bhajji was awful at Adelaide, so i dunno about the mental strength part

Re: Racism charges against Harbhajan dropped, Australia tour continues
well its the might of BCCI and strong will of Indian Cricket team.
Its better that charges were withdrawn from australian side rather than twisting arm of ICC.
Now better sense will prevail.
get ready for T20 on friday.
