Being an indian and having pride in my country I want india to boycott the series. There is no point playing a match against 14 players (11 aussies and 3 umpires). Also the world cricket should get to know how Australia are world champions. When they r unable t play shoaib or murali they brand them as chukkers and continue to appreciate lee the world fastest chukker.Indians have fought well against all odds and we r all proud of them.
Its better late than never at lodging a protest. BUt what good is it going to make, can the results of the match nullified. I dont think so. Rubbing salt on the wounds Andrew Symonds has been also rewarded with the Man of the Match , mind you out of no where he has coe out with the allegation against Bhaji. KUble rightly deserved Man of the Match, he has 8 wickets in this game & stodd tall amongst the ruins, how much more can you play when justthe 11 of you ar eplaying against 14 opponents. Simple logic loose you had to but when was the question , Kumble & co managed to pull the inevitable as along as the last moments of the game. Kudos team India, we cant do any better. Would like to see how Sunil Gavasker aproaches to this controversial decesions, have guts resign from the ICC Technical comittee as a protest, no you will not....

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. 3. Sledgers complainng about sledging. It's admited by ian chappel to sledge gavasker, vishvanath by calling on there sisters and meat eathing. 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.
Dear Readers, Please dont blame Steve Bucknor & deprive him of his job, b'coz like India ICC has also quota policy and Bucknor comes under Physically Handicapped Quota. He certainly is Visually Impaired. Ask him the color of the Cricket Ball & he will tell u with full confidence that it's green.
India has to complain. Not only to complain, they have to boycot the next 2 test matches and come back to India. When 2 teams playing and fighting for pride, you cant have so many controversal decisions.
India might have saved the match if Dravid and Ganguly were not given out. How can the umpire ask a fielder whether you caught it or not? How can you trust a fielder, not the batsman who stood his ground. In dravid's case, Nothing touched and that blind Steve Bucknor gave his out. Wasim jaffer is clean biowled on a No Ball.
how can be all wrong decisions will be against India?
This is an offical match fixing. if this continues, Aus can win consecutive 40 matches.
Even blind & deaf person can see and hear that catch of Hussey. Symonds reprieved 4 times in first innings. I agree they should discontinue the tour and come back.

I request all indians to send e.mail to ICC, BCCI complaing about umpiring standards in bulk & force them to take actions against all this non-sense. BCCI need quick action, if they cant act in national interest, then we indians should take law in our hand.
