To all Indian bashers
by Vijay on Jan 11, 2008 12:03 PM

Australia started the tradition of whining. Back in 1930 when the world's greatest batsmen including Bradman and Neil Harvey could not handle leg-side bowling tactics engineered by Douglas Jardine. And Aussies went so far as to threaten diplomatic relationships with Britain over cricket. Allan Border threatened to walk out of a Pakistan tour in 1989 when similarly crooked umpiring as witnessed in Sydney angered them. Of course they wanted to move out as Aussies were losing mostly due to umpiring. Infact when Dravid was given out I was stunned had never seen such a poor decision and I immediately switched off television, it was painful to watch 2 incompetent umpiring ruining a good test match. I knew then that India is going to lose.
