in my opionion the only solution make the situation a little justified is to declare the test unofficial and thefore null & void. even the most ardent aussie fan will know in their conscience,that australia doesn't deserve this victory.( I still believe that they are the best team in the world if you take into account their past performances and their true potential.) but this crosser all the limits. I mean, if there were not obvious umpiring blunders, india could have won the match with the position aussies were in 195/6, and symonds adding another 130 runs to his personal score there. look at the way equations change after that. I thought laxman and tendulkar got lucky with lbw's two later, but that's later, you would never know wht would have happened if the aussies were to be bold out for say a score of 230 or 250. the ramnifications of such a decision is too huge to neglect it. ponting also got lucky when he was on 10. the umpires made bad decisions against the aussies too, albeit to a lesser extent. one can never conclude that they are biased but one this is for sure: they are highly incompetent. if umpiring errors are allowed to decide the fate of a high profile test match, then there is seriously something wrong. ICC should wake up atleast now and take the help of technology, in a manner that is largely acceptable to all. ( you can never satisfy all). something like tennis could be tried, like (3) challenges for both the batsmen and fielding side. (contd)
