"That's Wayne's opinion based on meetings Wayne sat in over the last year talking about expansion." .
India wants Symonds, Proctor punished
The racial abuse charge was downgraded to that of using offensive language of a seriously insulting nature. The lesser charge carries only a financial penalty. The Board of Cricket Control in India and Cricket Australia negotiated a compromise outcome before yesterday's appeal held in the Federal Court. India would not guarantee it would contest Friday's Twenty20 clash or the one-day tri-series against Australia and Sri Lanka if Harbhajan's three-game suspension was upheld.

BCCI officials celebrated the verdict, which effectively questioned the integrity of Symonds's original evidence and that of referee Procter.
