India has to complain. Not to complain, they have to boycot the next 2 test matches and come back to India. When 2 teams playing and fighting for pride, you cant have so many controversal decisions.
India might have saved the match if Dravid and Ganguly were not given out. How can the umpire ask a fielder whether you caught it or not? How can you trust a fielder, not the batsman who stood his ground. In dravid's case, Nothing touched and that blind Steve Bucknor gave his out. Wasim jaffer is clean biowled on a No Ball.
how can be all wrong decisions will be against India?
This is an offical match fixing. if this continues, Aus can win consecutive 40 matches.

Well Said Partha, you hit the nail on the head, that crazy colored bstd, Steve F ucknor is always against India, This has been since a long time not just this one... this is toooo much to take....zenith of shabbiness .... India should boycott the next 2 matches...I had lot of respect for the Australians... But Not anymore...Symonds shamelessly said, he nicked Ishant... And michael clarke at the end of the match said , the pitch was awful for batting...so Australians didnt play any well in this match...This is awfull..as some one rightly when two nations are playing for pride...this cant be taken lightly...

Ponting is a**h**le. The most incompetent player with no sportsman spirit. I wish he goes to Panta. He was claiming Dhoni's catch which everyone can see he grassed. He will do anything to win (his wife needs to watch out).

In the second Innings after nicking to dravid at first slip, Michel clarke stayed at the wicket hoping the umpires will save him. So comic to watch

I agree. Sitting here in MN, USA I am feeling absoluetly disgusted with the Ganguly decision (of course Dravid was not out also)-How can the umpire consult Ponting about the decision-What happened to the third umpire. As far as I am concerned, the match was won by India. The umpring squad from this match must be banned from cricket and the Indian team must return back-The hell with this series.

I would agree we should come out of aus. 2nd test was between ind and umpires, and umpires made aus victory. Aus were playing with 14 players (11 3). One morething is drop yuvraj & jaffer. now onwards tests must be played in nuetral venues rather in home countrys.

You can believe the fielder's words if they are from a country other than Australia. That too, the umpire asked Ponting about the catch. Everybody knows the kind of player Ponting is. He wanted Murali Karthik to walk after he was given not out. But he himself didnot walk after he edged one to the keeper. How can the umpire believe such a player's words?
