Mumbai, Feb 1 Chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar today wanted Mike Procter to be hauled up by the ICC for bungling the incident involving India's Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds during last month's Sydney Test.

"He will have some answering to do to the ICC," said the former India captain while reacting to the three-Test ban on Harbhajan imposed by match referee Procter which was later revoked by Appeals Commissioner John Hansen who reduced it to a simple monetary penalty.

Slamming former South African cricketer Procter for failing to perform his duties properly, Vengsarkar recalled the ICC official's errors in the past and said the latest incident was only a reflection of his bungling ways.

Vengsarkar referred to the Oval Test fiasco between England and Pakistan that led to the first-ever forfeiture in Test cricket's history and the on-field spat between Australian speedster Glenn McGrath and West Indian batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan in Antigua.

He said the Sydney experience has made "the team stronger" when queried about his own experience of sledging by Australian cricketers during his playing days.

"Australia are known to be sledgers, but this experience has made us stronger," he said after launching the Polycom Cricket Fest 2008 here at a suburban hotel.

Vengsarkar, praising the progress made by the Indian team on the ICC rankings table, also sounded optimistic that soon it woould rise up to be number one Test team in the world. (Agencies)
