Guys, In light of the pathetic one sided umpiring, the recently concluded test should not be considered an official first class test match. Pls reply to this thread if you agree. BTW, did you guys observe something. Channel 9 team immediately started making a case on how difficult it is to accurately adjudge "no-balls" immediately after it came to light that Jaffer was given out on a no ball. True to their character....cheap cheater Aussies

Six months from now, everybody will forget about the "umpiring errors". Steve Bucknor will retire and stick to Jamaican beaches, the other dude will pocket his kickbacks, as Australia shamelessly will register this as their "16th win".

I completely agree with you Friend. ICC should come forward and declare this test as an un-official one. Not one not two.....This is 7 much...a teams entire top order....
1) Ricky Ponting Given not out 2) Symonds Once for a catch behind. 3) Symonds again for Stumping chance. 4) Symonds again For a Stumping which Buckner did not refer to Third umpire 5) Mike hussey given not out at 45 when he nicked RP Singh. 6) Rahul dravid given out when it is crear that his bat is 10 km away from the ball 7)Ganguly given out when clarke grassed the ball..
