Let us focus on the main issue here. India couldnt play 46 overs in the last session to defend the match. That is a fact that cannot be denied. Even given that Ganguly and Dravid were given out wrong, can one call it a test side if it cant defend 46 hours ? Come on, what does it take to remain not out if you dont have to score any runs? Just stay put buddy.
Yuvraj should be obviously thrown out of the team. So should Dhoni be.
Let us focus on Indian's team pathetic performance for a change. Harbhajan's ban happened after the test match got over. We Indian are good at obfuscating all issues and politicizing them.
But the fact remains that inspite of a good first Innings team, Indians played pathetically on the last day.
Prem Panicker better concentrate on that. Pawar of course will concentrate on politics.

Looks like Samir does not know what cricket is. In the cricket not all batsmen do good performance in every inning. To defeat a team all you have to do is by hook or crook remove the 2 good batsmen from the crease and whole team will tumble down. Australians are not capable to take all ten wickets so they use wicked ways and use corrupt/incompetant umpires to out the batsmens. Sam

Mr. Prashant, everytime India loses, it is the umpires fault or bad luck. I have never heard people like you saying that the other team played better. You are worse than Bucknor. It is people like that India cannot win a single medal in Olympics because we talk only of cricket. The olympics is not far away and it is in China, but is anyone talking anyting about it .. No... Its a shame that we have people like you in India...

hiya sameer,
Well u r right when u ask cant the indian team play 46 overs.however if 2 of ur top batsmen are given out just because the otehr team wants to win at all cost, man i tell u no one , not even the aussies would have doen better. U know jsut one last thing, If India had won this match in a similiar fashion- i tell u man i would have hated to be called an indian.the aussie's are cheats, arrogant liers who cannot accept someone playing equally gr8 game. sameer my friend its time that we Indians dont take nonsense from the world.If u dont have Pride u dont have anything.they are targeting harbhajan and we indians atleast today dont have to take it. we can only become a super power if we beleive we can and be proud to be Indians.
