AUSTRALIAN CRICKET
by mahesh jhalani on Jan 10, 2008 12:10 PM

What you expect from Aussies. Good behaviour, courtsey? forget it. The match was rightfully ours, whihc they snatched from us by bribing the 3 umpires and match refery. I cannot see any other explanation. The mistakes made by umpires were so glaring that it is obvious a huge amount was paid to three of them to turn match in Australia's favour. It is pity that the West Indian Board is supporting a man who has not only lost eyesight and heraing power
but also lost his integrity. BUCKNOR could not hear the edge of the bat of SYMMONDS but immediately raised finger on LBW appeal of RAHUL DRAVID, when the ball had brushed the pads. i think he suddenly got back his lost hearing power, with generous aid from Ponting & Co. Benson did not think it necessary to refer a doubtful catching decesion to third umpire but beleieved in SAINT PONTINGS version and as a puppet immediately ruled Ganguly out caught by Clark. However hard they may try now, the Aussies have lost it in th eyes of the world.
