This is pathetic.... And to see Ricky Ponting exulting like it was a hard won match shows the shallowness of this shrewd cheater...!!
Yes, Ricky Ponting has lost his claim to the Cricketer of the Year by behaving in this pathetically shameful way..!!!
It is amazing how the Australian team went to play with 13 players instead of 11....!!!
That is.... 11 cricketers 2 umpires...!!!!
ICC should negate the result of this match since it is clear that the result would have been drastically different had the decisions been correctly given..!!!
I mean human error occurs once or twice in a match... But 7 times..!!!!!! And that too against a particular team..!!! That is not human error.... It is called CHEATING / BEING SOLD OUT..!!!!
Bucknor should be asked to pack his bags and retire before he gets shamefully disgraced...!!

you mean 14. You forgot the 3rd umpire who was probably paid by the betting and gambling organizations. How can it go so many times against India and not even once against Australia. I see a massive umpiring betting scandal

You even forgot Ricky as the 4th umpire while giving ganguly out. Plus, if Match Referee goes against Bhajji today and/or does not do anything on these gross umpiring mistakes, it will be 11 3 1 1 = 16 people.

Actually, it was fourteen players. You forgot to mention the third umpire.
