Regarding Sehwag and Collins the answer is simple. The match referee knows that Indian cricketers are over-paid so giving a 20 % fine is no big deal for them. West Indies do not get paid so much hence ...
Regarding Lara's incident, there is no better behaved cricketer then lara in cricket today. I know him for his honesty. I have seen walk off before the umpire has raised his finger which no Indian player does.
Let me also say something. We talk about ours being the best batting line up in the world, but we have not won test series outside sub-continent since 1986. Even if we win against West Indies this time, it amounts to nothing as they were trashed by everyone for the last 6-7 years in test and one days. The reason is that the talented guys migrate to USA and play basketball and other sports there. So lets not cry as we are famous for crying everytime in cricket. Instead of that lets cry as to why we cannot win medals in the Olympics or Asian Games.

Hi Bruno the conversation is not reg winning the series outside India. its totally reg wether the referee's are biased or not.ur saying Lara is well behaved. can u point out any player shown discent to the umpires or the refere's. in this case having somuch experience, he should have done that. And let me recall on issue about, when the lost a match to Kenya i think so in 1996 world cup, the same well behaved hell of a man said we have lost to our younger brothers, when voices were raised against the comment. then the told he not said like that. this is the example of well behaved man. ICC had be pratial, they should take action againt Dave Richard also for his comment on this and he dare to say no Indian umpire had been standard. what abt Steve buckonor nowdays he gives 50% of wrong decisions, why he was not pulled out atleast for a couple of years
