I just have 2 points to make right now. 1) How can ICC ever think of trusting an Aussie? Go through their short history. The original settlers were all petty criminals/cheaters who were shipped out of england to free up their prisons. Its in their blood. 2) Why can't ICC just ask the Umpire - In this case Steve Buckner to Step down from the next Test at Perth? There have been a nuber of cases where Football Umpires have been asked to stop referring matches after a dismal performance in the match. These are absolute facts. ICC feels it is will lose it's esteem by doing that and giving in to an Asian protest.

Sharad Pawar is the ICC chairman in waiting. The IPL aura is built around some Australian players. Do you honestly think BCCI officials have the balls in them to fight this out? If we all agree that the umpiring was flawed (if not out-right partial) then the last match should be declared null and void. I am amazed that no one is even talking about it.

Yeah...and the worst part is Ponting and his cronies continue to behave as if nothing wrong has been done, and keep coming up with some of the most laughable arguments to justify their dishonesty on the field. When you not only refuse to admit you fault, but go to ridiculous lengths to defend it- that's Orwellian!
Some Oz vermins that had infiltrated into this forum last night/ early this morning were doing the same.

Wow. Ponting crony and mouse, all in two paragraphs. I have been working hard. Time to read a new book Why Care. Tried the rules of cricket?
That was a brilliant piece of well meaning text giving out credible and well researched reasons for damning ICC's ban on Bhajji as well as rubbishing Craddock's words. Now that we have one decision in our favor lets see what happens to the other...

This article would go down in the anal as one of the most blunt, true and factual pieces of authorship. After reading this article, the only thing that iriks me no end that I am helpless to ensure that this article is read and digested by the Pontings, Symonds, Husseyes etc. How do we ensure that this article reaches those individuals?
