Kudos to Laxman Sachin Sourav Rahul for demolishing the Aussie bowling. It was a cooked up result in the darkness of lengthy shadows surrounding the batters at evening when play was continued till Aussies can win. Indians did well to get out as otherwise they would have been injured and no bowlers would be left for balance tour. Misery was brought by dubious umpiring which did not get Symonds and Hussey out off clean catches which even a deaf can hear and a blind can see. Cheating at its terrible height. Aussies would never be in the match after being out on day one for less than 300 OR less than 300 in 2nd innings. ICC should probe the umpire fixing scandal by checking the girls who were offered to Bucknor and Benson at the hotel. This is the worst form of match fixing but going on in Australia. Should be stopped. Even Proctor should be scrutuinised for his banning Bhajji so that Ponting the Bhajji Bunny can play on.

Don't blame the umpires, blame the ICC. They should allow the umpires to use the replay technology.
It is crazy that people watching at home have better evidence than the umpires making the decisions. The human eye simply can't be relied on to make some of the decisions at that speed.
Email the ICC and tell them to follow the example of tennis and other sports and bring cricket into the 21st century!
