Aussies have double standards, when they can't dictate someone wether its batsman or bowler they start framing him. But if someone says anything against them they have that habit of laughing it off. I want our team to understand that we should always target Aussies and beat them hard and harder. We shud forget about Pakistan let's make it an Operation Destroy Kangaroo Forever.

To destroy Australia, only one man can do. Send Mr. Kiran More as selector of Aussies. Then see the results.
Yes. I feel he cheated. Legally I dont know, but ethically yes. What difference does it make if a bowler tries to do something in the ball. Or the same thing done by an Indian or Pakistani or a Srilankan player ?
Aussies have one rule for them and other for Murali .

I completely agree with you on your point about double standards. I think we can be 1000% sure that if Jayasuriya or Sangakarra did what Gilchrist did, the Australians would be screaming bloody murder, would want Sri Lanka barred from the ICC and thrown out of the United Nations even. It's only because its one of their players that they 'laugh it off'
If it is within the rules of the game then it can be permitted... it's not that the squash ball gave him added POWER... people put extra padding in gloves sometimes to get a better grip... and actually... I think a squash ball is actually a hindrance! Wonder how he did it... anyway I guess it's useless to comment on anything unless you know the rules... let's not take anything away from Gilly's knock!

He has purposely told this 'secret' so other teams can start doing the same till it remains legal. Now you can see 2 balls in gloves, 2 in shoes, one below helmet, one in mouth and every player who does it will score 50

well said, even i was thinking on the same lines. i mean it would be a hindrance to me if i did it. i think it just was a mental thing.that his coach gave an idea. and he decided to use it. maybe he got some success with it, and he took it as a catalyst,albeit not correctly. sometimes mentally if you think something is a good idea, even if it actually doesn't change the situation, you tend to do better, because of the psychological effect. and i think that's the case with gilchrist too.
