I am continuously amazed at how the ICC characterizes this as just umpires having a bad day. They had a bad 4 days (nothing really wrong on day 3 to give them credit). Further, as Prem pointed out in an earlier post why has Ponting not been brought up for violating the code of conduct like Rashid Latif was by (surprise surprise) Mike Proctor for claiming a bump ball as a catch. The Aussies seem to be practicing holding the ball against the ground when they dive with one hand to help them retain control. Everyone knows that when the back of the hand hits the ground, the chance of a ball popping out increases. Mike Proctor says he knows what racism is, that is because he actively practices it by going after subcontinental sides and favoring caucasians. Remember his preferential treatment of Michael Slater in Mumbai 2001? If that had been Ganguly, a three match ban would have been imposed. The biggest racist in cricket seems to be the man making decisions about racism.
