Just read this comment posted on the website of a leading Australian Newspaper: "I hope India wins, I have never been so disgusted and disappointed with an Australian team who have had to resort to cheating in trying to obtain a win. It seems they have lost all perspective of playing the game in the way it was intended. Too many dollars appear to be dazzling them. As for racial abuse, give me a break, the comments that have come through on the stump mikes from the mouths of some of the Aussies over the years has been disgusting. Also, they appear to forget that close ups allow viewers to read their lips very clearly. It appears they can dish it out but can't take it, what a pack of squealers. I was once a fanatical Aussie supporter but no more, their arrogance and will to win at all costs has left me out in the cold. Posted by: C Douglas of Melbourne 4:17pm today"
maybe the Indian team should jus forfeit the series n come back.. there's no point in playin or if they want they can go into bat for the third test n jus come back to the pavilion hit wicket or clean bowled by movin away from the stumps. dont get the umpires involved n not appeal when they bowl... let the aussies walk when they tired of gettin out...
one test match like this will teach the ausies a good lesson..
Bucknor is an openly racist umpire and he should be shown the door for his incompetence. Bucknor has a problem with Dravid in that he was mocking Dravid back in 2003 when Ganguly was captain
Aussies had proved that they are the unbeatable champs in cricket in a slight difference way. This time with an unfair cricket. if bujji to be punished for poor manners, what should be punishment for Ponting, clerk, symonds and hussey?
Gilli u too became worst (You had a good name for being loyal for wickets).
Hats off to kumble for maintaining the dignity of the game and leading the team as an example.
Is this a time that the ICC should start thinking over some laws like "re-match"? Sounds stupid but who knows what can be the future like...no one expected T20 a few years back..!!
Well, the case should be personally taken up by the ICC to investigate upon. And the first step should inculde a "ban" on the umpires for 1 year...when it can be put on the players for just a single fault, then why not on the umpires for REPEATED faults? What say people? And is there anything..any source I can raise it to ICC directly? Please tell me if there is any...

why cant 3rd umpire intervene in such clear cases of bad umpiring? These stupid rules of Umpire on field is the final authority is stupidity. The ICC will not change the stupid rules unless India flex its economic muscle.

Yes it does my friend! How come everytime we are on the receiving end of these decisions? Even in the 1st Test M.Johnson was out when he was on 0 in the first innings! Why always us? Sorry, but India 2008 is way different to India 1987!!!! Only if our BCCI can grow some more balls!! 70% of the revenue comes from us to thegame of Cricket! Cricket Australia can't survive without the BCCI!
