The Indian team fought valiantly in both batting and bowling, but were done in by malicious umpiring.
Read what the BBC (considered neutral) writes:
"Steve Bucknor was involved in another moment of high controversy. Having been roundly castigated for failing to give Andrew Symonds caught behind on day one - the batsman went on to hit 162 not out - he awarded the Australian the most tenuous appeal for a catch at the wicket which ended Dravid's innings.
An extraordinary incident seven overs later deepened India's plight, and again there was controversy as Clarke dived forward to claim a catch to end Ganguly's innings on 51. The umpires, apparently unsighted, accepted Clarke and Ponting's word that the catch was a good one - Ponting even raising his own finger as though giving the batsman out."
This is not a joke. BCCI should follow up and make sure these umpires and Ponting are punished.
Do you think the cheating Aussies would have kept quiet if this happened to them in India?v will teach them a lesson in the 3rd test keep it up india
