YEAH..COME BACK HOME..AS IT IS UMPIRES AND PONTING AND HIS TEAM WOULDNT LET U WIN..BECZ THEY WANT TO WIN BY HOOK OR BY CROOK..POOR CHEATERS THE AUSTRALIAN TEAM..
Truly speaking 2008 will positively write off few of old cricketers of Australian team,among them will be the this pony who can't be place in the category of Autralian great captains, the Don,Benaud,Chappels,Border,Mark Taylor,Waugh. Cricket Australia can take a leaf out of the Cricket History and make the change at the helm to keep the true image of the game.
Indian Team and its board is overdoing this to cover up its losses

Agreed in Australia the umpires seemed biased but what stopped the Indian team from winning in the test matches and one day matches in India. Forget Australia, we dont even win in New Zealand or for that matter south Africa.
India first needs to win, we all agree we have the best batsman, best bowlers, richest board but winning percentage Pakistan's and South Africa has better winning averages than India

India has lost many times, but it has never complained like this before. Point is not that India lost, but how they were defeated. India lost because Australia cheated and umpires gave Aus helping hand.
I have seen 6-7 year old kids playing with better sportmanship than Australian team.

Indians, who can't even win properly with Australia are using the Sydney match as an excuse to demand that Ponting quit. The real reason why they want Ricky to go away is because they are afraid of Ricky whose team regularly gives Team India a sound thrashing.

NO,they r not over doing.What a team epects,when rival team captain declares ganguly out.it would have been better for our players to take gaurd 1 feet away from stumps to allow the bowler to hit stumps as dravid was not out which every body saw.Symonds out on 30,u allow again out below 40 not out decission,syddney test was ours but umpires conspired to make us loose.hu is scared of ricky,he is bhajjies bunny,see in rest tests,india will bounce back,aussies r playing like kids hu cry to get decissions from parents hu know its unfair but still allow their wish to not see them crying.

Hello Uncle,,everybody knows how india kicked out australia in 20-20 and the same will happen in 3rd test match..autralia have to play with 11 players not 15.

We know what happened when Aus played with 11 players. They thrashed India by 337 runs in the first test.

Yes, very much possible. Aust did thrash India at MCG in the 1st test, but did u hear any protests? There were disappointment about India's performance, but there was no complain about either officials nor the Aust players. It may not be, but looks like in the 2nd test all are hell bent to give aust a win; field umpires, 3rd umpires. Most irritating part was as if Ponting is running the show, by giving out and ump is listening him without referring to the 3rd ump. I think what Aust players did is very common to them, and I am not exactly surprised. To me the umpires are the main cultprit. Not only they gave plenty of one-sided horrendous wrong decisions, they even looked too weak to handle the pressure and dictated by Aust players, Benson in particular. If correct decisions were taken it could be a comfortable draw and if luck favors could even go for India. So of course the disappointment of losing a golden opportunity is also added to the frustration.
If u like to agree or not this Sidney test win will be remembered for all the wrong reasons, excpet for those rabid Oz nationalist. At the same time I should also admit Indian public behaved over the top, which should also be stopped. Media is mainly to blame for this. Hope everyone involved got a lesson from this and the rest of the series will be played the way a cricket match should be played.

That is a wrong assesment. Team India is not comparable to Team Australia, that is ok. But, did Team Australia need to use unfair tactics to win? The argument is about how you play the game and not about winning or loosing. If the argument was indeed about loosing, then every match India lost should have turned into trouble. But that is not the case.

Australia did not do anything unfair. Stop blaming them. The Umpires gave a few bad decisions. You cannot blame Australian team for that.

One or two rare victories dont make a champion.We won the one day last in 1983 Aussies have won it 4 times.You may talk about 20:20 but did you ever in your wildest dreams think India could win.we all know we won by luck unlike the Aussies who have been on top for more than 2 decades

If that is what HB said, it is worst than calling symmonds a monkey
It was really a farce when on %u2018shilpa shetty racism issue%u2019 we cried with our full heart and now, same in case of Harbhajan. What about us? Are we not racist? Forget about Mahatma Gandhi, talk about today. A foreigner always termed as 'gora'(white). Isn't that racism based on skin color? Have anyone seen the plight of foreigner specially ladies? People keep commenting anything on them. Leave foreigners, south Indians are termed as 'kallu' and 'idli-dosa' in north, whereas, north Indians are termed as 'daal-roti' in south. People from mumbai termed as 'ghaatis' in rest of India. 'Sardars' are being joked every part of the country. 'Bihari' is an abuse, especially in Delhi-Mumbai. Want more? Write a topic on Rajinikanth/ Shahrukh/ Amitabh and see north-south mess. Write something on Ganguly/ Tendulkar/ Dravid, and see whole India jumping on each other.
Coming back to the match, it was really nice to see all TV channels gaining TRPs by playing with emotions of Indians, and terming this whole episode as question of national pride. But that doesn%u2019t alter the fact that all we needed is to middle the ball of an irregular bowler safely in last over with three wickets in hand, and we were unable to do that. Regarding %u2018Ponting%u2019s cry to refree%u2019, we can%u2019t point on him, because it was instruction to both sides to do so. Also, I am really surprised to know that Mr. Kumble agreed on %u2018captain%u2019s decision%u2019 on low-catches. Hope he doesn%u2019t do the same in future.

MR. CHAUDHARY VERY WELL SAID.. BUT I DISAGREE IN ONE MINOR POINT WE ARE RACISTS NO DOUBT..BUT WE ARE UNITED AS A WHOLE WE NEVER SAY ANYTHING BAD FOR FOREIGNERS IF WE CALL THEM GORA THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO DEMEAN THEM ANOTHER POINT DOES OUR BEING A RACIST BE AN EXCUSE ENUFF FOR OUR NOT PROTESTING AGAINST WHAT BEHAVIOUR THEY HAVE METED OUT TO US?
RE:RE:Come on India..

Why not reply in same manner? Why showing aggression only in words, and not in performance? Why only talk fire-for-fire and not showing anything even near to fire? I am not against protesting, but giving fact that - we are not racist so we can't abuse others - as a proof, is utter nonsense. (it's being said in many tv channels)
RE:Come on India..
by Vinay Srivastava on Jan 10, 2008 01:25 PM Permalink
No Mr Chaudhary, we are not racists. Our culture might be having many good things and many bad, but we are not at all racists. If you talk about jokes on Sardars, i can assure you it is not to demean them, it always shows the purity of character a Sardar has. Not only this all the examples you have mentioned are not racism, but they are for humor. Remembre there is a big difference between humor and racism. Every culture has such ways of amusing themselves. Racism is when we talk about a culture or race in a way to show them that they have lower status than us. Not only this as Australian team has shown, it is racism, when your words are better than mine. No matter, how many evidences are shown to you that you are wrong, but you insist that you are right because you are white and others are black. When we crack jokes, we don't say we are right. Give me one Indian who does not respect a Sardar, or a Maratha warrior, who does not respect Guru Govind Singhji or Shivaji Maharaj. So please don't call Indians racist. That's insulting to me and all the citizens of this country. As you should not call every Australian a racist, or every team menber of Australia a racisct. But yes Ponting, Buckoner, and others like them are racists.

Agreed but u do not seem to understand that men who middle it,were left in the muddle by umpires. How silly is that you miss this. Speaking of racism, try and understand that it shd not be on cricket field and oz did it every time... even if bajji did it y do u think, ponting ran to headmaster? because they were cry babies.... Indua did'nt loose but oz did not win either.

Agree about umpires. Umpires made sure that a win will be converted to draw for us, and our players made sure that a draw will be converted to loss!!

True, that there is not any proof of 'abuse', but even there is not any proof that bhajji didn't say that. It's all shown on TV that bhajji was saying something. But obviously, ban cannot be justified anyway without proof, and I agree with that.
ITS FUNNY THAT UMPIRES ARE ASKING PLAYERS FOR HELP NOWADAYS.. DOESNT BENSON NEED TO GO BACK AND START FROM SCRATCH AND LEARN THE BASICS OF UMPIRING BEFORE EVEN THINKING OF UMPIRING AGAIN IN SUCH CRUCIAL TESTS
