No exaggeration to say that India lost the match due to bad umpiring.
Dravid and Ganguly both are given out when they are clearly not out which opened the gates to late middle order and tail enders.
The whole Australian media, commentators, umpires everyone is biased.
1) Marc Benson does not bother to refer Ganguly's dismissal to 3rd umpire but when Dhoni was clearly in and neither the wicket nor the fielders bothered to appeal, he immediately refers to 3rd umpire. 2) RP Singh's LBW would have removed the bails according to the TV replays. Again Benson was so confident that he raised his finger in the first 2 seconds. He sure has got some sight for someone who could not see Ganguly's catch was a carry.
Finally, I think Steve Bucknor is trying do Symonds a favor when he committed another mistake by ruling Dravid out.

Steve Bucknor likes Symonds because he was the only one who thanked him for the wrong decision. Mike Hussey and the other have not even bothered to say so :-D
