Here is another take on the story....

http://blogs.cricinfo.com/pakspin/ar...oblem.php#more

Albeit, written by a Pakistani blogger. However, it does raise interesting issues. Did Saffer players go beyond acceptable sledging on the field? Did that contribute to the bad behaviour of the fans?

Personally, I don't think so. I think the fans were morons, and would've behaved badly, regardless of what went on the field. But sledging in the southern hemisphere can teeter on the border of what's acceptable.

But, until I know exactly what Gibbs said, I cannot pass judgment one way or another....
