Battle Between Two Legendary Cricketers - Javed Miandad and Dennis Lillee

One from the famous cricket stories is the, Dennis Lillee and Javed Miandad Controversy. In 1980-81 during Pakistan cricket team visit to Australia a controversy between Australian Fast Bowler Dance Lille and Pakistan Captain Javed Miandad developed. During a test match when Miandad was running for single, he struck against Dance Lillee. Dennis Lillee was not happy and was claiming that Miandad struck against him deliberately. On the other hand Javed Miandad was claiming that Lillee deliberately came in his way. The situation heat up to the point where Lillee kick Javed Miandad with his leg from back. In response Javed Miandad lifted his bat above his head as if to strike him. But umpires and then Australian captain separate both players. Dennis Lillee was fine for A$120 and was suspended for two matches. And  this was the end of controversy  as well.  

Imagine if this type of controversy occurred again. And if any Pakistani player involved. What would be the response of international media, especially Indian Media. I can guess, Media, former cricketers from India and  the ex CEO of ICC Malcolm Speed and Umpire Darell Hair will demand for "BAN ON PAKISTAN CRICKET". What you think.
