You say that Kumble Says nothing, does nothing. What a bad statement! He took 9 wickets, made a fighting 45* in the second innings to almost save the match against Aussies and umpires. His captaincy was simply brilliant in terms of placements and using bowling resources.
If at all some one can talk, it is Anil who can make any statement on what ugly things happened on ground.
He never said India could have won, but the facts on how Ponting stayed even after he was out and declared Ganguly as out when it was clearly doubtful. None of the Australians were honest when umpiring was favorable to them and no one walked.
Kumble has a right to be disappointed about this behavior. On top of this Australians went against Bhajji as if they are the most decent.
Australia is the ugliest team after Pakistan during Miandad days.
India was never like this. and No Indian captain was indecent on the ground irrespective of whatever happened.

A correction. It was not ponting and it was Clarke who behaved nastily.

WIN..... my Foot!
Symonds was out thrice. And Aussies have lost the Sydney test. Itis ONLY by bribing umpires and pressurising through PM-Speed(CEO of ICC)-Umpires that Aussies have won.
WIN...... ha ha ha

Dear Akash,
Winning with decency is always difficult compared to win by hook or crook. This was what happened in Bodyline series as well and people like you appreciated Douglar Jardine.
Coutney walsh could remove the bails in world cup 87 when Salim jaffer the last man was out of crease but didnt do just for the decency. Pakistan never showed such decency and won that match. Once again people like you will appreciate Pakistan rather than West Indies.
The biggest issue with Ponting and and other recent Australian captains is that they never achieved the kind of respect old West Indies enjoyed. It was because they always won by sheer talent and never depended on other crude tricks.
Today Australia may be winning as per records. But they can never get the respect like West Indies before 1987.
