aab bharat ki team ko kewal hum china waley bacha saktey hai agar china ki rai mano tab sharad pawar ko opening key liye bhejna hoga kyoki austrlia main koi aisha paida nahi hua jo sharad pawar ko out kar sakey
Its quite shamefull that the way Indians are over to this issue.They should be more concerned about the game rather than pointing out fingers.Iam sure Ponting did make a mistake but then at that moment anyone with the nature like his would do the same! Did we play upto their standards? yeah but partly..Look at the way we are struggling to get the ACTII out in todays match.Theyve managed to get 290 . Now do we have to blame the umpires???? This is the problem with us, whether its cricket or bollywood we give so much of importance...Why!!! We blame how aussies react after taking wickets..but have we seen how Harbajan and sreesanth react!! but AGAIN We are so typical!! If all aussies quit playin, they have atleast some job to do..have we thot what these indian cricketers will do..nothing, except giving commentary or in case if they wanna paint the town red..bitch about some player....hahahaha!! Come on! play the game and rather giving importance to such issues! we lost the 1st match fair and square, that too by a huge margin!!! fine, dravid's wicket was a mistake...harbajan and kuble could have stayed and saved the day...losing the last wicket on the last 6 balls of the match! disgracefull!
Kumble has certainly shown that he is no nonsense and is made of sterner stuff and can call a spade a spade. The Indian team and Kumble have been pushed to the edge by Ponting, Umpires and the Aussies . What was not expected was a spirited fight back by BCCI and the Indian team but they have done themselves and the country proud by not cowing down and capitualting to the lack of spirit and gamemanship of the Aussies. In fact by labelling charges against Bhajji and Proctor by suspending him have shown who the real racists are and how they have been winning unfairly over the years. Just come back Kumble if the charges are not revoked against Bhajji.

All this monkey business is only to divert the attention and keep Indians busy while they can go on match fixing, win the match and equate the record of 16th test win here. Then comes Perth where India does not stand any chance and there they can break the record which India had denied last time there by completing their vengeance. Very unsporting of so called world Champions..

u r stating the opposite..infact, on the contrary Kumble´s image has gone down..india were thrashed in Melbourne and now in Sydney they lose a match which they probably could have won/drawn as it was the match situation at the end of the third day..Now kumble, the clever diplomatic person that he is is trying to shift the focus of the series defeat away from the team and try to fool the usual emotional India public with this TARGETTED cry..

Okay Arjun:
You go on believing this is just a diversion.. You are entitled to your opinion. The whole world knows which team played good cricket out there in Sydney. You chose to disagree, you are welcome to do so. And by the way I am not the usual emotional India public, but to me Kumble's statement sounds totally measured, dignified, and loads better than his counterpart who is still sulking in the corner.. "You should not be standing in this room.. "..
But as I said, you are a free man. Believe what you want to.. Cheers.

yup there was no fault of Australia only Indians are wrong well i dont know who u r but some day i want to meet u
harbhajan whether is punished or not taht not issue. what has hapnd is india has lost an opportunity to win down under despite on stronger side. now going back without playing is good but the result of 2nd test match shuld be scrapped. while rest can be taken care . bucknor will go home and as for symonds he will b beaten by indian mob when he comes back to ind
This clearly shows the difference between Indian and Australian Culture. Ponting's , Gilchrist's , Clarkes's , hayden's , symond's behaviour shows how this Guys have been taught the game. I thisnk such cricketers should not be part of Indian Primiere League Why should Indians Pay them at all .
What decided the match in AUssies favour? It was the umpiring mistakes.
1. Are Aussies responsible for umpiring decisions if even if they are the beneficiaries at the end? - No!
2. When Mike Clarke stood there without walking off,even after the catch being taken of his first faced, it was because of disbelief and coming to terms in those few seconds. To suggest that he was waiting for the umpire to challenge is ridiculous! He too knows that it was too evident and there was no chance of a second opinion unless it is a no ball. Hasnt Yuvraj stood ground coming to terms when he was out?
3. When Mike Clarke took that catch, the ball touched ground with most probable of certainity when he rolled over but not before. In that position it would be difficult for anyone to know with a high degree of certainity that the ball touched the ground. All humans believe that they right honestly and are prone to give themselves the benefit of doubt and that can not be treated as a trait that depicts lack of integrity or being dishonest. Ricky rightly checked with Mike and relied on his version. If Mike genuinely believed that he took the catch cleanly and informed Ricky accordingly, Ricky in no way can doubt Mike because Mike is the captain waiting and has no past record of dubious ways. If it was the Umpire who didnt take Bucknors or third umpires decision it was his fault. However, it is the established practice that umpires going by fielders and captains words. It was just unfortu

Kabeer did not say that Indians started weeping crying and projecting themselves as targetted. They ARE JUSTIFIED in feeling targetted. 7 decisions against any team DOES call for such a feeling.
We will surely watch out for the chin music. And thank you for feeling that Indians are just trying to shift the focus away now that they are going to get thrashed 4-0. You are welcome to feel this way. After all you are an Indian!! :-)

Dude clarke stood his ground not in disbelief, but to see if what the umpire had to say- he was looking at the umpire, in case u didnt get to see the match. And come now, even Hayden mildly criticized Clarke's action.

Ashish- you should've watched the game on Channel 9 or Sky Sports which gets the Channel 9 broadcast. Hayden's comment was aired by the commentators on that day.

Let ashish be.. he is suffering with an illness. You know the same one Punter and his cohorts are suffering with.. It's called megalomania - "I'm right and everyone else is wrong"..
It does not matter that you actually watched Hayden.. ashish did not see it.. hence it does not exist. I wonder even if he had seen it, it would not have existed because ashish doesn't believe it.. :-)

Mr. Kabeer, no where in his column has Kumble blamed umpires for the defeat. Infact, if you had read the column carefully, he only blamed his batsmen for the failure. And coming to catch taken by Mike, since Ganguly believed that catch was not taken cleanly, umpires should have referred it to third umpire and unfortunately that was not done. And there is every reason for Indians to feel cheated as the umpiring was below par and seven out of eight wrong decisions went against them. And to Mr. Shetty, I would like to say that Kumble has not tried to shift focus and any self respectinmg person in his place would have done the same.

There is a difference between Coming to terms when you are out and waiting for an umprises decision when the knick is quite obvious. Micheal Clarke (he is supposed to be called PUP, isnt that racist....jokes apart) was not coming terms when he was out with his head down in disblief. He was looking at the umpire to give him. This speaks a lot about his character. We will now have batsman getting caught in the outside n then wait for the umpire to give them out... About his catch, when in doubt he could have said I am not sure...why dont the umpires take a call...This was reqd when he knows that bcoz of the prematch agreement, if he said out it would be treated as out. So the whole call of questioning the aussies is correct..they have never been good ppl on the field...

Kabeer:
I disagree on point 3. Mike HAS HAD a past of dubious ways. He HAS claimed catches that should not have been claimed.
Another point is that if 7 decisions and dubious catches can be termed unfortunate, there is no absolutely no case against Harbhajan. What he did (or is accused of having done) too was at best unfortunate. A word said (that too allegedly, not proven beyond doubt) in a heat of the moment should not have been prosecuted vidictively, especially after Kumble, the opposite captain had offered to apologise.

1. ausies r not responsible but aussie cricket board, captain, umpires and icc r responsible.
2. yuvraj's decision was not out. he didnt nick the ball to slip and stood though knowing he nick the ball just like clark.
3. 3rd umpires r provided for cricket matches officially to resolve issues and to clear uncertainties. As it is there in official manner it has to be used.

I think it is hightime we completely forgot about agarkar, powar, sehwag and started introducing players like badri, sharma, uttappa, yo, pankaj singh, vrv etc.
RE:ajit w/s sehwag

@Anshul:
Agarkar has always taken wickets in Australia. Not many people know but he has close to 300 wickets in ODIs.
In tests he was not given any reasonable chances playing around 30 tests only. But his best is 6-41, which happens to be better than Brett Lee's best of 5-30. And guess who did he take 6-41 against?
Australia!
In fact you should have said Yuvi is better in Punjab or India rather than anywhere else.. :-)
RE:ajit w/s sehwag
by Arjun Shetty on Jan 11, 2008 04:25 PM
maybe u have a very valid point here..Agarkar is much better than Ishanth, pankaj and Pathan and VRV . And also, Agarkar is probably the only fair Indian in the team. No doubting the talent of our guys but all the players in the team are dark and are very ordinary looking with dirty features which makes aussies to racially taunt them. Tx Lord Krishna millions of times, e made me fair, well built and successfull. how i wish we had many fair , aggressive well built talents in the team unlike the dwarf sachin, the thin reedy ugly ganguly, dravids and black Bhajjis and sreesanths and Dhonis
