Sure the "independent Umpires" may be human and made an error or two......but what about the decades during which no Team could win a series anywhere on the sub-continent when "home umpires" were used?
Is it no wonder the world's best batsman, Sir Donald Bradman never toured the sub-continent?
All of a sudden, as happens in life, a few things go against you - and what's the response? - charge of to the ICC and make an official complaint.
If touring sides had done that over the period of "home umpires" officiating, there'd be no forests left in the world & the ICC would still be going through the paperwork!!
Don't be sore losers......simply because you can't "rig" the game at home any more....it's in the record book now - get over it.

Mr. Bhagwat, It is STUPID IDIOTS like you who are responsible for low self esteem in Indians. Do you think all the while Australian umpires were fair? How much cricket have you watched? Its important not to take anything away from good performances but there has to be a fair game to determine competency and capability. If you judge a team's performance in a game where there was no trace of fairness you will end up commiting blunders like those commited by the two umpires in this match. THINK RATIONAL....or may be I should say THINK first.

You are mad man Bhagwat. You seem to have been rigged, by the looks of your foolish post something very important is missing in you.

Yeah. Its actually stupid that 3 Indian batsmen got out in 1 over and thats too to spin bowling of Michael Clarke. Magnificient performance by Clarke. I think at Sydney Pathan would have been a much better choice than Ishant Sharma. Yuvraj and Jaffer proved to be liabilities on this tour. One of them ( I think Yuvraj) needs to make way for Sehwag and Jaffer for Pathan in Perth. India will be much better without them
Once again - Sachin Tendulkar. Cant handle the pressure. Couldent stick for 20-30 balls more?

You need to see areplay of the tendulkar dismissal, which was purely unlucky. Or maybe you have decided to kneel to racist abuse like some of our friends here.
