Transcript of audio picked up from the Nine Network stump microphone and used as evidence in Harbhajan's appeal:
Symonds walks up to Harbhajan at the end of an over.
Symonds: "Go and yell at your teammates .... You called me monkey again."
Matthew Hayden: "Twice. You've got a witness now champ."
Hayden approaches Harbhajan.
Hayden: "That's the last time."
Harbhajan: "No listen he started it."
Hayden: "Doesn't matter mate, it's racial vilification mate. It's a shit word and you know it."
Soon after, Michael Clarke approaches umpire Mark Benson.
Clarke: "It's not the first time. He done it in India and got into strife. That's the second time he's done it."
Captain Ricky Ponting walks up to Benson and gestures towards fellow umpire Steve Bucknor.
Ponting: "Go and tell him. Go and tell him straight away."
