South Africa not to pursue racist incident involving Morkel in Hobart

The touring South African cricket team will not pursue the racist incident in which a spectator was charged by police for using abusive language to their player Morne Morkel in last Sunday's one-day match in Hobart.

The decision is in keeping with the cordial spirit in which the present series is being played, as contrasted with the acrimonious one Down Under in 2006, which was marred by a series of ugly incidents.

LET BYGONES BE BYGONES: Australian supporters hold a placard saying they are not racist following South Africa's complaint of being racially abused by Aussie fans during their 2006 tour. A similar incident came to light during the second ODI last Sunday but the South Africans have decided not to pursue the matter. PIC/AFP
