Mumbai played without Harbhajan and Sachin!

Mumbai Indians have already lost all of their 3 matches in the IPL. In all the matches, Sachin did not play and Harbhajan Singh was leading the side.

It was a crucial encounter for Mumbai Indians when they take on Deccan Chargers on Sunday at 8 PM IST. They were eagerly waiting for opening their winning account.

But, to everyone surprise, Harbhajan slapped Sreesanth after their defeat against Kings XI Punjab lead by Yuvaraj Singh. It was their 3rd continous loss and sure that everyone was disappointed.

No one is clear on why he did that? Sure that he won't do it without any provacation from Sreesanth, but regardless of what he said, he should not have slapped him, if he did that. Only Sreesanth knows what he said until he comes out public!

With the proof from the offical broadcaster Sony, BCCI has suspended Bhajji from Mumbai Indians next match against Deccan Chargers. Sachin is not yet ready for playing Cricket and with Harbhajan also not playable due to the suspension, it would be difficult for Mumbai Indians! Sure their morale would be low! Can they pull out of this problem? Well, wait and see!

Harbhajan's hearing today!

The match referee Farooq Engineer will hear both sides of story today and take a decision on the incident. As the cricketing world knows, Harbhajan slapped Sreesanth after the match. Not knowing the reason why he did it, BCCI, based on the video footage provided by the offical broadcaster Sony, suspended Bhajjai for the Sunday match against Deccan Chargers.

Sreesanth cried uncontrollably after the match which was captured live by the televison channel broadcasting the match. Not knowing why he was crying, the entire crowd watching the match live in stadium and tv were stunned.

Later, the news channels flashd the news saying Sreesanth was slapped by Harbhajan.

We have to wait and see the decision to be taken by Farooq Engineer!

Sunil Gavaskar asked to choose one role!

Gavaskar's dual role as chairman of the ICC's Cricket Committee and columnist has created trouble for him from ICC. It is obvious that the ICC did not like his open and honest comments against Australia during the India's Down Under Series.

His position came up for discussion at the ICC Board Meeting in Dubai last week and Malcom Speed, the ICC Chief Executive was authorised to take up the matter with Gavaskar. This will be discussed in detail during this week's meeting in Dubai.

Though no decision is taken in this matter, it is Gavaskar who has to decide between the two. The matter got his attention when he termed Match Referee Mike Proctor as Racist though he denied that.

However, after the ICC's meeting in Dubai last week, Gavaskar slammed England and Australia in another syndicated newspaper column. "Gone are the days when two countries, England and Australia, had the veto power in international cricket, even though the dinosaurs may not open their eyes and see the reality," he wrote. "The cricketing world has found that India has no longer a diffident voice but a confident one that knows what is good for its cricket, and will strive to get it."

What will he do...wait and see!!
