What a Shame for Cricket world....
According to us, An Australian Victory in this 2nd Cricket test against India Today was not a true victory.
It may be for the records that Ausies managed to rout India at Sydney test by 122 runs victory.
But the fact remains that Australia won the match with the help of Bad Umpiring decisions and the team has now 13 player including 2 umpires.
Thanks to Steve Bucknor ( his salary is $440 per hour ) and Mark Benson who went on to spoilt what was a superb day of cricket.
A Matter of Shame & Un ethical Sportsmanship seen from Australian Team…
We, Indian cricket fans are disappointed by the un-sportive acts of Rickey Ponting & his team mates.
At the same time, we feel the Team India should rebuild their consistancy as the last 7 balls to spare, they lost 3 wickets and of course our appreciations to Clarke for his wonderful bowling to notch 3 wkts in 5 balls.
We also surprised to note Umpires too played for Australia, there by Australia had 13 players in this test match against India at Sydney.
Yes, those controversial decisions have robbed off the cricket match's charm.
All those the benefit of doubts has went in favour of Australia .
We're disappointed with the umpiring. But it is up to the ICC to take actions.
Right from the First innings few atrocious decisions most of which went against India during the ongoing Test in Sydney,
Australia's top scorer Andrew Symonds conceded he had been caught at the wicket at 30 on his way to a career-best 162 not out.
Failed to refer a stumping decision to third umpire Bruce Oxenford with Symonds on 148 as replays indicated the all-rounders heel was raised and outside the crease.
Andrew symonds should have walked out of the crease once he knows that he has been caught and still went on playing adamantly…At the mercy of bad umpiring.
The two umpires -- Steve Bucknor of West Indies and Mark Benson of England -- have given a number of atrocious decisions, most of which have gone against the Indians.
It is quite evident on television that the umpiring has been poor.
Even Sunil Gavaskar who is a member of the ICC's technical committee has expressed his outrage.
Australia benefited from Benson and Bucknor's generosity throughout the match.

On the first day, India had the hosts on the mat at 134 for six but Andrew Symonds was given not one but two reprieves -- once by Bucknor and another by third umpire Bruce Oxenford -- before he went on to score an unbeaten hundred to take Australia out of trouble.
Benson's generosity continued after he ruled in Mike Hussey's favour even after the batsman had edged RP Singh to MS Dhoni in the second innings.
Hussey, who was then on 45, made the most of the opportunity and went on to make an unbeaten 145 to swell Australia's lead.
Whatever said and done Australians have out witted our Indian Team to seal the match in their favour.
Let the Team India now learn its lessons and be prepared for a remarkable change in their performances.
