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?
