Test Match - a game of character
by on Jan 06, 2008 02:45 PM

This 2nd test match would certainly go down well in my memory as a game where the Indians played better cricket but still lost out due to poor umpiring standards.
Certainly I'd like to appreciate the Indians for the way they have fought this match inspite of continued flaws in umpiring.One however wonders if FIFA rules of max age for umpiring to be 45 be implemented in cricket as well.
Finally a word of appreciation for Kumble who's displayed a great sense of sportmanship and discipline compared to the derogatory succesful Aussie captain Ponting.
Test cricket is all about character and sportsmanship.The Aussies have certainly lost in this regard barring a few.Team India-you might lose the cup,but you have certainly won our hearts in this test match.We stand by you!!!
