You are forgetting to add ONE more - 3rd umpire who favored for Aus cause even after watching replays many a times.
Its a preplanned Australian Strategy to frustrate the Indian Team, now stop playing with the Aussies , there is no meaning to play when the match is already fix betn Australian Umpires, board and players Now australian we hates U
The more and more I watch this sport, I feel it's racially run and adminstered. Cricket is a racial sport. ICC thinks people watch cricket for umpires and whites. Technology should be used 100% until which India and other aisan countries should abandon cricket
The Indian team fought valiantly in both batting and bowling, but were done in by malicious umpiring.
Read what the BBC (considered neutral) writes:
"Steve Bucknor was involved in another moment of high controversy. Having been roundly castigated for failing to give Andrew Symonds caught behind on day one - the batsman went on to hit 162 not out - he awarded the Australian the most tenuous appeal for a catch at the wicket which ended Dravid's innings.
An extraordinary incident seven overs later deepened India's plight, and again there was controversy as Clarke dived forward to claim a catch to end Ganguly's innings on 51. The umpires, apparently unsighted, accepted Clarke and Ponting's word that the catch was a good one - Ponting even raising his own finger as though giving the batsman out."
This is not a joke. BCCI should follow up and make sure these umpires and Ponting are punished.
Do you think the cheating Aussies would have kept quiet if this happened to them in India?

Yes dear u r right BCCI should ban these umpires for the life time, this is the only solution
Boss you are forgetting the complete list. Here is the complete one 1. Ponting caught behind on 17 2. Andrew symonds on 30 CB 3. Symonds on 48 third umpire 4. Symonds on 120 odd not refered to Third umpire wherer as Rahuls catch refered (which was given not out). 5. Mike Hussey LBW kumble on 30 odd. hitting middle and leg. Guy was 1 feet in front of Stumps. 6. Mike Hussey Edge on 45. He goes on to make 145. 7. Rahul as all know 8. Ganguly as all know. 9. RP singh was LBW . Hawk eye suggests that the ball clipping bails. Long way forward, I've never seen such decision.
On top of it I have a few issues. 1. Ponting trying to be like a real sportsman by saying that he is not sure of catching it (in first innings - refered to 3rd ump and not given). and then claiming catch of Ganguly by clarke. And Umpires asking for his view rather than 3rd. 2. All comentators (obviously aussies) saying that I do not see anything on clarkes catch. It looks fine. If this was aus wicket, this would be replayed 100 times. They said Dhoni's decision looked fair as it is hitting off. What about hussey. Not even once the replay was played after hawk eye after hussey decision. 3. Sledgers complainng about sledging. It's admited by ian chappel to sledge gavasker, vishvanath by calling on there sisters and meat eating. WFK. I'm surprised tendulkar tried to calm things and Bhajji Said sorry. or appologised to Hayden. Hayden might be best of the lot but no way appolgising.

What's the use ? ICC will get another one just like him to torment Indians. For all you know his name will be Fucknor.
BCCI is a part of ICC.Umpires are selected well in advance. Most of the good umpire ie.Bird,Shephard,Venkat have retired.The ex cricketers are making a hue and cry about umpiring,why they preferred for the white color job not this thankless job called cricket umpiring.
