Match referee against India
by Vijay on Jun 13, 2006 02:33 PM

This is not the first time that the players from the subcontinent are facing arbitrary rulings against them. Sachin was accused of ball tampering in South Africa and almost half the team were reprimanded by the referee then. Sunil Gavaskar is the elite panel in the almost defunct ICC, not to mention Mr. Javagal Srinath who has been inducted in to the ICC panel. Probably the international cricketing community as well as the ICC think it is up to the indians to make the game mor gentlemanly when others are always getting away with this so called "mild slipups". I still remember the mumbai test match when Michael Slater caught the Rahul Dravid after the ball pitched on the Ground and he used all sort of un parliamentary words and i don't remember any action being taken against him apart from being warned for his mild misconduct. Since we, normal people don't play at that level, we are told by ex players that we don't know what goes on in the field and we should not criticize the players or any one else. Well Mr. Gavaskar, You play the game, we prayed for you and we have cheered for you now I think the time has come for you and your likes to stand up to this step motherly treatment.
