Aussie were playing 13 members(that is 11 Players and 2 upires) while their opponents thet is now India were only 11 this happens often when Australian's are playing any where in the world and they want always on the top of the table in cricket ratings. Aussies are not sportsmen at all. they want to win the matches at the cost of the opponents. In the case of Harbajan Singh, Symonds complained to the Match referee only because Ponting was out every time he was facing Harbajan and they dont want to face his bowling at all hence this request by the player and they want to penalize him even though he has not done any harm.

Hi friend, Not 13.. it was 14(Third umpire) The Bucknor and Ponting replaces the postings. Bucknor as an Australian captain taking all decisions in favour of his team. Ponting is the umpire to rule out between the Bucknor's side and poor Kumble's side.
