Australia - Cheating attitude of 14 Men squad and Back door help,isn't it??? in any standard of cricket SCG win is absolutely with the help of kick backs not with real talent....6 decisions against India intentionally.... Kudos to kumble to for continuing the sprite of cricket and Ponting should come out of azzzhoooole behavior and no point in leading cheating team and say we are the best with the help of back doors.
It has happened once again. The anti Indian Bucknor has screwed up the match and handed it to Australia on a platter. It seems that he has made it his life's mission to make India loose every match. If he had his way then he would declare the other team victorious in each match India played even before the toss. It looks to me that Mr. Bucknor, being from West Indies, has not forgiven India for beating West Indies in the 1983 World Cup (Prudential Cup). Just as players are penalized for dissnt, ICC should also penalize blumbering Umpires like Bucknor and even Mark Benson & third umpire Bruce Oxenford.
I also agree that there were numerus howlers against Team BCCI. But what about that fact that these guys(8 other batsmen) could not last even two sessions. When was the last time They managed to achieve batting out last day to save a test match.(Apart from against England at Lords)..They failed twice against SA.Go as far as you wish to..One is hard pressed to find any other instance.
Do not let umpiring Howlers divert attention from inept batting of team bcci..And also attitude of some players(Yuvraj running after Depika padukone..dhoni following him)..

to talk about lasting, the three who were forced out by the umpires were good enough to win or draw the test match. this is what umpires knew and did their bit and helped the australians in their cause.
We indians should encourage other games as well like Hockey. In that way BCCI will automatically become weak because of lack of revenues. This is the right time to take the power into our hands and encourage other games. We are forgetting that because of out passion for the game BCCI is making 3000 crore per year.
Looking at the summary of the first and second test matches, I conclude that Australia played (or rather conspired and cheated) with not eleven but thirteen players if you include the two on-field so-called umpires. It has become clear that Australians are bad losers, cheats and play dirty mind games. The numerous bad decisions by umpires, the Bhajji-Symmonds episode, and instances of cheating by Ponting (claiming a grounded catch, not walking off the field even after nudging a nick to the wicket-keeper etc.) proves that the Australian cricket team is a cheat and undoubtedly fixed the matches with the umpires. They must have bribed the umpires to get umpiring decisions in their favour.
I have never ever seen such bad umpiring in last 30 years. I like to point out that Steve Bucknor is anti-India. He has been for the past few years consistently giving bad decisions against India in ODIs and test matches just like his colleague David Shepard does for Sri Lanka.
In my opinion this test match be nullified and either be abandoned or replayed. Both of the umpires be stripped of their designation and banned for life. We can certainly do without them.
The conduct of Ricky Pointing (appealing despite knowing that he is wrong in doing so, showing Ganguly the finger suggesting that he is out (he had no right to do so)) and of Symmonds (falsely accusing Bhajji of racial remarks) should be thoroughly investigated and be banned for atleast 20 ODIs and 10 test matches.

David Shepard????He was one of the most respected umpires who retired once he understood that he was past his prime. I guess you mean Darrel Hair.

plase accept my sincere apologies. i meant darrel hair and NOT david shepard. however david too has been involved in several glaring bad decisions.
Blatant umpiring bias costing India test matches against Australia is nothing new. In fact, it has been the norm over the last two decades. The biggest factor that has kept emboldening the Australian cricket board and the ICC to 'arrange' for Australian victories by having cheats as umpires has been the BCCI's failure to intervene properly on behalf of neutrality. The BCCI's bosses (especially today's politician-robber Pawar) have always been only interested in the commercial aspects of the game and not in the game itself.
It is very intstructive to check the records (in this regard) of the governing bodies of other games like soccer. These bodies enjoy and jealously guard their hold and command over everything associated with their games. Thus, the Football associations of countries like England, Germany and the Latin American biggies decide which rule changes are acceptable and which are not in the game, which referees are worthy of international status, where and when matches should be held, etc. And all these decisions invariably lead to big advantages for the soccer teams of their countries (and to the disadvantage of other strong soccer countries but which do not have the necessary political and economic power). Invariably, it is these European and Latin American countries that rule the international game. A similar situation exists in the game of hockey, in which India and Pakistan were once kings.

Even in cricket, the current presidency of the ICC by Australian Malcolm Speed has distinctly marked Australia's current ascendancy in the game. The entire international cricket apparatus has come to appear as being tailored to suit the interests of the Australian cricket team. This is not to demean the might of the Australian team in any manner (they are indeed competitive cricketers and have a very healthy domestic program to groom cricketers) but only to hint that the 'edge' that they enjoy today might not have been possible without 'official' support in many subtle ways that are not exactly sporting or fair.
With the help of umpires, Aussies own this. We need not bother about htis. They have to have shame on this. In order to divert this, they registered case on Bajji. They never tolerate if someone up against them. We have poor Team selection wherein, Irfan and Verru should have given a chance. Be proud that we have defeated Aussies morally. Today aussie newspapers are talking about caste dimension on Indian cricket and that's the way they own that. Hats off to Kumble and Team to make the team sprit up.
