On the episode, Ponting wrote, “Most noticeably during the latter three matches(the last three ODIs of that series at Vadodara, Nagpur, Mumbai), small sections of the crowd took to making monkey noises whenever Symmo walked in their direction…..after the final game, Symmo, who is part of Afro-Caribbean descent, informed us that while we were fielding, though I didn't hear myself, Harbhajan had called him a ‘monkey'.”
