All hell broke loose when Harbhajan's name was splashed across all major newspapers of Australia, accusing him of flimsy charges to have "aped" a monkey in front of a provocative crowd while he was fielding at the square leg fence after completing his quota of overs.

When The Indian spinner was informed that the official broadcaster might not have any incriminating evidence to offer to the match referee to nail him down, he was not surprised.

"Obviously, they wouldn't have anything because didn't do anything," said Harbhajan on arriving in Brisbane, looking to build on to his fabulous performance of on Sunday with a series-sealing triumph at Gabba.
