Indians R looser, Although I don't like AUS winning but love Dhoti's to Loose against them ..
Look at the drama, Blaming Umpires for what they deserve. Umpire are also Human being,

sorry If I am racist, but Dhotis will be 4-0 and I am going to love it.

U can scold me if you love IND

Have your say ?????

When would they grow up??

I followed almost every ball of the 2nd test and I can tell you this.. even if you are not a fan of Indian Cricket, you would hate this. This was like watching school level cricket where one of your friends is an umpire and supports your team giving all wrong decisions against your opposition. Someone talked about Sunil Gavaskar's comments, watch Australian commentators- they are the the biggest a$$holes in the whole damn world.

It is not just the indians who are complaining about the umpires. Even the former Australian players have expressed their views how the umpires won Aussies this test.

And I read somewhere :  Indian Team    c Benson b Bucknor 

 

 

THE International Cricket Council today faces one of the biggest days in its 98-year existence when it simply must seize control of the game.

India's threat to boycott the Australian tour has come down to a battle of who runs cricket - India or the ICC.

ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed should give ground on one key issue and stand as firm as a brick statue on another.

India want Steve Bucknor sacked from the next Test in Perth and so he should be. Every grievance India have against him is genuine and there were whispers last night he was gone already.

But India's suspension of the tour while they wait for an appeal on the suspension of Harbhajan Singh is a veiled form of blackmail and must be treated with the harsh response it deserves.

If the ICC feels Harbhajan was worth suspending, it must not crumble in the face of a subcontinental blackmail from the world's most powerful cricket nation.

India's cricketing wealth may be 50 times that of any rival but that does not give them the right to run the game.

India must be told by Speed in the strongest possible terms to get moving with the rest of the tour and let the ICC worry about Harbhajan.

If the ICC buckles and overturns the Harbhajan verdict because of Indian pressure, it may as well shut its doors in Dubai and cease to exist, for whatever credibility it has will be lost forever.

And it will be a crippling blow for cricket, because a sport without strong leadership can never reach its potential. A game run by self-interest is a game in trouble.

If the Harbhajan verdict stands - as it should - and India abandon the tour, then so be it. Their nation will be in disgrace, their team retreating as men who cowered in the face of substantial adversity.

It's a shame India have sulked, because many Australians felt deeply sympathetic for the dreadful hand they were dealt in Sydney. They were dudded. It's as simple as that.

The Australians have not come out of the Test well either. Ricky Ponting continues to argue Australia play within the spirit of the game, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he failed to walk when he was out, threw his bat when he was dismissed and put his finger up to indicate a low catch had been taken by Michael Clarke.

His protest about the "monkey" taunt has left a lot of Australian fans cold, given his side's lengthy history of verbal warfare.

Ponting's fine reputation as a leader has not been enhanced by his performance during the game or his comments after it.

 

this is how an Indian Behaves

They are like this .. when they are in Power .. when they huge money .. they think .. they are the f cking king of the world....

This controversy is larger than a row over sportsmanship and bad umpiring. it is about Power of Money ... it is about how  fu ck ing indians think and behave

BCCI vice president Rajiv Shukla told AM there are two demands that must be met before the tour resumes.

"The options are very simple. We want this decision of the referees on Harbhajan Singh not to be implemented. Secondly, the umpire for India-centric matches should be changed," he said.

f ck them ... f ck them ....

 I am damn angry now .. sorry Guys .. I am not able to control ...

एक लात दीयर बारीको पाटामा पुराइदिन्छु ।। धोती हरु

lol...indians...oh man....they din expect to be whitewashed in australia as they used to perform decently in australia compared to other nations
i guess there was more of a bad luck to the indians and certainly the umpire was really inefficient....but nevertheless, australians deserve to win it...a big win...yup..i was watchin all the tests....it was really the best test finish i have ever seen....

.if india does pull out of the tour, it will be a big blow to the cricket world...aussies will probably not go back to india in the future...probably they wont play with india except in competitions.....this will be a mess...

.indians will probably wont take that step as it will hurt them more...people will start talking about the indians being unable to play with australia no matter how the umpires were in the matches....n the 20-20 was still there to come for them to show.....

Aussies, the best!!!!

Whatever I hate AUS but I hate Dhoti more than AUS .... Dhoti .. f ck .. they have money does not mean they can think to do anything .. and that A$$hole Harbazzan and other A$$hole 'Youvraj"... ..

 though I like Ganguli to get good run but love Dhoti's to loose.

I think it will be a big blow to the cricketing world if India backs out from the tour..Well, If you guys can remember how many wrong decisions  happen in the Indian subcontinent?..especially with bat-pad catches from the bowling of spinners..Previously,Indians had local umpires  even for test matches  in India ..They used to make so many wrong decisions against the visiting teams...Nobody raised  a strong voice against those...However, its a different scenario in the present series.. Its India playing and people as well as media are crazy about cricket in India ..For the future references, new ways should be imposed to eliminate wrong decisions...For example, if a batsman strongly  feels  he has been given wrong decision ,may be , he can appeal the decision to the ground umpires ..Consequently, ground umpires can call for third umpire....However, problem still remains  if the batsman is adjudged not out although he was technically out..

Just becos you hate Dhotis doesn't mean that you have to support those arrogant a$$hole Aussies in every matter. If it's wrong-its wrong. Indians lost in Melbourne, they accepted it. When you have 8 decisions in a test match go agaist you, there is something wrong. Hell, there even was a stumping decision by 3 rd Umpire which showd Symonds was clearly out and he gave 'not out'. Talk about fairness. If  you have watched the game, even if you are an Aussie fan, you would be embarassed.

I think I could do better Umpiring than freaking stupid Bucknor. He had been a great Umpire but he is past his sell-by date.

Like I said earlier: India Team     c benson  b Bucknor

India is now speaking the power of money and nothing else.  Team has been blatantly given out and biased even in the past.

Australia lost the Ashes in 2005 after almost 2 decades with some shocking decisions where almost 80 to 90% went against them. They never complained. I believe for Australia ashes is more important series than anything else.

India themselves have a history of bad umpiring.  Who can forget the 10 wickets taken by Anil Kumble in Delhi. Many experts says that kumble owe largly to umpire Jayaprakash.  Similarly when Harbhajan took a hattrick in kolkata against Australia to win and late the seires on Sydney herald newspaper wrote  "Umpire took the hatrick".

Banning umpire have started a dangerous precedence. I don't think Australia have done anything wrong in appealing. Every player is entitled to appealing that doesn't make anybody as a cheat.
 

agreed Noquiero ..  This is what I am thinking .. Even India is not  a powerful nation now ... and look what they are doing ... I afraid, if India becomes like "America" .. Dont know what they will do ... f ck indian Players and indian press and BCCI

Let's get a sense of balance. No Indian writing or broadcasting from Sydney mentioned that replays showed Sachin Tendulkar was out leg-before when he was in the twenties. He added roughly the same number of runs that Symonds did after being reprieved when he was first out.

Ponting's integrity may be in question after he claimed a catch off Mahendra Singh Dhoni though the ball touched the ground. Just as you can't be a little pregnant, you can't be a little upright. Integrity is indivisible. But if the two captains had an agreement regarding catches close to the wicket, then Mark Benson was right in turning to Ponting when Sourav Ganguly was caught. After all, Steve Bucknor was further away from the action.

Indians are not innocents. The average number of Tests played by the Sydney XI is 65. That's enough time to learn all the tricks. Ishant Sharma, in his third Test, showed you don't need to have played 65. His ridiculous time-wasting tactic of walking out with two right gloves would have embarrassed a schoolboy.

ALMOST ALL THE CRICKETING NATIONS ARE WITH INDIA ON THE WHOLE ISSUE INCLUSIVE OF BLOODY  RIVALS PAKISTAN.

THAN WHY ARE WE AGAINST THEM  JUST FOR THE SAKE  "OPPOSITIONS JOB IS SIMPLY TO  OPPOSE  WHATEVER MAY COME".

 

 

 

those who don't know the game of cricket can bark in the favour of aussies for this particular match at sydney

WICI is also against the decision of throwing the Bucnor out from the next test.

Du You guys really think it is a good idea to remove an pre selected Umpire from the match because of few wrong decision.

Indians are barking not the Auziz

West Indies board hits out at Bucknor dropping

The president of the West Indies Cricket Board has attacked the ICC's decision to remove Steve Bucknor from umpiring in the Perth Test as being an "extreme" reaction.

In a letter to ICC president Ray Mali, Julian Hunte compared the situation to the way the ICC handled a similar complaint lodged by the WICB during West Indies' tour to Australia in 2005. "The ICC's reaction by Dave Richardson [the ICC's cricket manager] was to acknowledge that errors were made but to insist that 'the overall standard of umpiring has improved in recent years, particularly with the advent of the elite panel'.

"It would be interesting to know what made this situation any different." The match referee during that series was Mike Procter, who is again at the centre of the storm following the Sydney Test.

Hunte has asked Mali to provide information to the WICB to enable it to consider what action it might want to take. It has asked for copies of all communication between the ICC and Bucknor, the ICC and other parties and the report of the match referee.

"There is no question that even the best umpires make mistakes," Hunte concluded. "They are human and there are circumstances which may affect their judgement. What worries us is whether the action of the ICC in the case of Bucknor might create even more problems for the ICC and international cricket down the line."

The ICC's move was also slammed by Clive Lloyd, the former West Indian captain and match referee. "You wonder what confidence this gives umpires," he told BBC Radio 5 Live. "I don't think anybody is out there to cheat anybody. The umpires I have had, particularly at ICC level, have been excellent. They are people who are very honest and who I trust implicitly. Every time something goes against you it doesn't mean the guy is cheating. Nobody is infallible. We all make mistakes - we have to accept it as that. That has always been part of cricket - we have to accept the decision and move on."

I agree . why there is different yardstick for india and other team. ICC is clearly worried not to disappoint india because of the revenue they get from BCCI .

Same thing happened to westindies in 2005 in Australia but the umpire was not replaced. Just shows the double standard  of ICC towards the poor countries.

Allright India got decision in their favour. Lets see how they can stop being thrashed at the fastest wicket in the world of perth.

 

suresh memon an Indian writer reports why Indian team are not innocent

 

 

.

suike. Why isnt indian media talking about the few decisioins that went in favour of india in this test. Like a plumb LBW decision to sachin tendulkar given not out when he was on 20 before he made  150 odd runs . Ricky ponting wrongly given out in first innings.

Time and again , over 100s of time if they keep on showing what went wrong against them is just misleading general public.

 

The fact that there is  not even a single umpire from India is in the top elite panel of ICC shows the standard of their umpiring. Umpire hariharan and Jayaprakash was shocking umpires to say the least. Ask Australia on 2001 culcutta test or Pakistan in the 1999 Delhi test.

Its not India but their power of money that is making a statment which i believe is completely wrong.

Mc Grath Lashes out for the Autocratic nature of Indian Cricket Board

 

 

guys i read some of the comments above

i follow cricket and followed ind aus 2 nd test and i can say that i havenot seen that bad umpiring till now

no umpire asks player whether catch is taken or not if u have

doubt u go to 3rd umpire

i know that umpire r human and can make mistakes but not  8 or 9 mistakes in one test match or more than 3 mistakes in one innings(will be better to say in few overs)

and one more thing ausis are ruling cricket now if u can remember there are always controversery with a visiting team in austrilia.be it india, srilanka, west indies

and about the ban in harbhajan singh i think ricky pointing should be banned for excessive appealing
