ANDREW SYMONDS

The Australia batsman was subjected to racial abuse by India fans in the final one-day international at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in October 2007.

An Australian photographer captured on camera spectators in the North Stand enacting monkey gestures, a complaint that had been first made during the fifth one-dayer at Vadodara.

The matter was brought to the notice of Chris Broad, the ICC match referee, by the Australian team management, and Broad later said that action had been taken against the offenders.

The incident happened just hours after Sharad Pawar and Creagh O'Connor, the respective presidents of the BCCI and Cricket Australia, issued a joint statement saying there was no place for racism in cricket. Symonds lasted just one ball in the match, falling to Murali Kartik, but was booed vociferously on his walks to and from the middle.

DARRELL HAIR

What started with Hair penalising Pakistan for alleged ball-tampering and their after-tea protest on the fourth day of the fourth Test against England at The Oval blew up into a much wider affair.

Hair and Billy Doctrove refused to continue the game and stated the match had already ended with a Pakistani forfeit, even though both teams were willing to continue.

The Test was abandoned, with the match awarded to England.

Hair subsequently offered to resign by e-mail from his position in return for a non-negotiable one-off payment of $500,000 directly into his bank account which was to be kept confidential by both sides. He subsequently revoked this offer two days later.

Following a two-day meeting in November 2006 the ICC banned the Australian umpire from officiating in international matches.

In February 2007 Hair announced he was suing the ICC and the Pakistan Cricket Board on grounds of racial discrimination but by October 2007 he had dropped the case.
