Australians are famous for breaking batsman's concentration by abusing and then bullying when confronted by the batsman. I agree totally with what Mr. Sunil Gavaskar when he said that when Australians abuse, they want the issue to stay on field and not carried out of the field. But when they are on the receiving end, no dispute stays on the field. They definitely want to carry it out of the field. In reality, this is the stunt to demoralise the indian team. After all cricket is a white man's game. Rules are changed to suit the whites. There is no medicine to remove apertheid from the blood of the whites. The Australian team has proved this. They remind us of the Lagaan match. The difference is here they have won. Also I fail to understand why umpires like Steve Bucknor are tolerated by world cricketing body like ICC? If Daryl Hair could be sacked, why not Steve Bucknor. At sixty plus how does ICC expect their senses to work? Besides he also has a bad sight and ear. With his blurred senses, he has spoiled the careers of many a good cricketers. I understand Sachin's agony. It is high time that ICC does something out of its own senses rather than under pressure from the protesting nations.
