What did Symonds say to Harbhajan Singh that resulted in the "monkey" spat

Anyone know exactly what Symonds said? According to Symonds it was
something like:

"My dear fellow, you can't go around slapping chaps on their back with
the bat as they run past. That's just simply not on ol' chap".

I have a feeling it was more like:

"Oi you mofo, you hit him with that bat again and I'll rip your head
off you bearded freak".

Yeah? You like?

And Harbhajan for sure would not have picked up on half of those
words. If he did, he could have easily claimed that atleast a couple
of those words were racist.

Symonds: What was the word you promised never to call me?
Harby: Monkey

OR

Symonds: Want to go to the zoo when this is over?
Harby: I luw the zhoo.
Symonds: What is your favorite animal?
Harby: Monkey

OR

Symonds: What does your wife call out at that certain moment?
Harby: Monkeeeee!

OR

Symonds: How does that song go again:
   Mere something something Ganga
   Aur Tere something something Jamuna Ka
   Bol Radha Bol Sangam Hoga Ke Nahin?
Harby: Man Ki

It was Kumbles placing his hand on Lee's backside a few times.

Speaking of the manipulation of Bollywood songs, I caught Shekhar
Suman (the Conan O'Brien of Indian TV) yesterday crooning:

SS: Maine dekha, tune dekha, isne dekha, usne dekha, sabne dekha...

(background): Kya dekha?

SS: Ek Bucknor, jo dushmanon ka sahara hai,
      Benson Benson, jo Ponting ko pyara hai...

Wish he could sing a bit better though - he sounded like a sex-changed
Kathie
Lee on durgs.

Cheers,

TD

I thought you said it was more like "Oi you mofo, you hit him with
that bat again and I'll rip your head off you bearded freak", but sure
why not.. from now on, anything can be termed racist.
