Fight of yuvraj singh and andrew flintoff

controversy between yuvraj singh and andrew flintoff fight of yuvraj singh flintoff in t20 world cup .yuvraj hitting 6 sixes in the t20 match against englandThe Indian Express reports that the Flintoff-Yuvraj summit during India's batting innings in the game against England during the ongoing Twenty20 World Cup was sparked by the following comment from Andrew Flintoff.
"I will smash your face, you just wait"

This was after Yuvraj had hit him for two sixes. The second one was a hook shot which was in the air for a long time before trickling over the boundary ropes.

Lets assume for a moment that this is true - that Flintoff actually said this to Yuvraj. I should point out that "smash your face" is probably a reference to the bouncer. Yuvraj's reaction was brilliant in my view. He reacted strongly, and let the umpire know he didn't like Flintoff's comment! I wonder how you view this comment. Do you view it as:

a. The white bully trying to intimidate the Indian batsman
b. An abusive rant which someone like Flintoff can get away with
c. A frustrated bowler venting steam

harbhajan finds himself in another controversy

BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla said the board would wait for the report from the team management before deciding on the future course of action.
Harbhajan, leading Mumbai Indians side, allegedly slapped Sreesanth when latter said something to him which the off-spinner found offensive.
The paceman was seen crying bitterly on the ground at the end of the IPL match, which his team won by 66 runs.
While Harbhajan kept mum on the issue during the post-match conference, Sreesanth tried to play down the incident.

pakistan v/s england; ball tempering case

Not many thought that a man as laid back as Inzimam-ul-Haq would be at the centre of cricket’s first forfeited Test match in 129 years. When Umpire Darrell Hair accused team Pakistan of ball tampering and awarded five penalty runs to England, Pakistan Captain Inzimam-ul-Haq protested without much success. However, when the teams went for the tea break, few predicted what was to follow. In a completely unexpected turn of events, Inzi along with the rest of the Pakistan team, refused to come back to the field in protest against the ball tampering charges. Umpires Billy Doctrove and Darrell Hair waited for a while and then awarded the match to England, the fist such instance in 129 years.

shameful umpiring of Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson


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.
