It seems Aussies will never learn perspective of playing cricket in the way it was intended. Aussies, the so-called world champions, are bad losers and at any cost want to win the matches. This fact was displayed on-field in the second test match against India (Jan 2-6, 2007). Ponting seemed to have caught Dhoni but the ball had hit the ground in the attempt. However, Ponting had no hesitation in claiming for a catch. Michael Clarke claimed to have caught Sourav Ganguly when the ball had hit the ground. As Ganguly stood at the wicket, Ponting took over the duties of the umpire, raised his finger and told him that he was out. Sadly umpire Mark Benson agreed. To say both ICC %u2018Elite%u2019 umpires had bad day is simply not good enough; because they both had five disgraceful days each. Too many dollars appear to be dazzling them. It was really mind upsetting to find that Australians always escape the sight of umpires/officials/ICC, or is it that ICC and umpires always support Australia?
As for racial abuse, give me a break, the comments that have come through on the stump mikes from the mouths of some of the Aussies over the years has been disgusting. They are notorious for sledging, an art they have perfected but they have no stomach when the rival teams give it back to them. It appears they can dish it out but can't take it, what a pack of squealers.
Although, clearly cricket is the %u2018loser%u2019 having arrogant Aussies as champions, we can take heart from the spor
