Dear Mr Ponting I was a great admirer of your sportsmanspirit. The true Australian team flourished in the era of Steve Waugh and believe me that entire lot was a true sportsman who believe in honesty dignity and self respect. Pointing was born in that era but failed to keep up the reputation. He has reminded all of us of some of his ancestors who were all out to conquere the world of Cricket with unsportman like activities. Micheal Clarke, Adam Glichrist, whom I till recently thought to be the most honest man in the squad and Brad Hogg forget the culture of Australians. Symonds is atleast honest to admit, but it is really a shame on all others.. May god give some better sense to all those men who are suppose to play this gentlemans game.

Absolutely on dot and that guy is talking about ages old Ind-Aus cricketing relations. Enough of this monkey business. I am seeing an Ind Aus match at Eden's or Wankhede and the whole crowd screaming 'bandar! bandar! like a mexican wave. And they call it racial abuse. A game between men and monkeys is just not done. May God save cricket and the gentlemen cricketers. sandeep Bhutani.
He is a disgrace to Indian cricket. He is the one who approved Bucknor's appointment eventhough he knew that Bucknor is anti-India and has made willingly wrong decisions. If he is a person worth his salt, he should resign immediately. He is a disgrace to Indian cricket.

Good point,even now he hasnt said a word against Bucknor because he hates GORAS and likes WINDIES,remember before world cup he bad mouthed Aussies out of sheer jealousy and praised WINDIES of 80s and yes this is a good point,i didnt know he supported Bucknor but its a blunder,the guy is over 60 yrs old and is unfit to even stand,let alone stand in a match.

Gavaskar is a useless guy to sugesst . He does anything only for meney.
I remember an earlier match in India where the umpire raised his finger to give out decision and he only raised it till as far as his nose, scratched his nose and that was it. That was funny, dont remember the match or the umpire..

The amount of zinc he puts on his face,tries to look white.He should better take advice from Mike Jackson and shift his carrer from umpiring to singer.That will suit for him and australians.

Man... this is really hilarious... I can't stop laughing... LOL... phew!...
Sydney test was a height of Hypocrisy(White racism-bucknor included).Most Bewildering part was that even if the umpires were criticized for initial four days of the match,then also there was no change in behavior on the last day. Ganguly's catch should have been referred to third umpire but mark benson knew in his heart that Ganguly may get the benfit of doubt so he simply consulted ponting and party and raised his finger. On the other hand Gilchrist,Hayden appeal for Harbhajan 's run out was ridiculous yet steve bucknor has not taken even 5 seconds to refer to third umpire.(eventually given not out)
The conclusion is that, out given to Indian Batsman were not "misjudgments" but these decisions were taken in complete prejudice of White supremacist.
Other mindboggling issue is suspension of Harbhajan.These Australian Batsmen hurl all abuses against all asian cricket players yet no brown skin has ever complained to ICC against aussie behaviour.(example - Aussies abuse Murlidharan whole day but he does not reply back) Best option is India should pull out of tour unless Andrew symonds should apologize to Harbhajan and all the false allegations should be scrapped and Indian Umpires included in ICC's umpire panel.
