apart from glen mcgrath all other australians are howling experts than bowling experts. Aussies can never be respected champions they can be just winners at the max(some feat the bodyline bowlers achieved a few years ago) I feel that indians should also give these aussies a dose of their medicine(and should be allowed by umpires to do that) Probably this is the action plan(??) aussies were talking about.
why do we have to potray ourselves as the victimised against a bunch of hooligans!!. Is it because we lack credibility.......? I doubt.Nevertheless,aren't we capable of getting under the skin of these Aussies who no doubt have a lot of chinks in their armour as well. Perhaps we aren't doing enough homework under the garb of.....a Gentleman. Time we used their tactics in their ...backyard.
I am surprised that the Indians did not do the same in the second Australian innings. Not that Aussie victory was not assured, it would have been better if more than one wicket fell. If there were any complaints against the Indians then there was enough evidence existing against the Australians. It is bad umpiring - that is all. In my days as an umpire I would have termed such incidents as foul play and would have cautioned the captains as per the laws of cricket. But it seems that those good days are over and gone. I last stood in any game was in 1986 in Nairobi, Kenya.
if the aussies can give a dash into the indians - why cant the indians give it back to them. so far we should admit that the indian team had put out a very brave fight, trying to match the aussies in all aspects. even they feel the lack of fire power that they have resorted to another department they are well aware off. come on "boys in blue". show them that even we can match them even in this department. remember, when we gave it back to them in the ICC tournament at nairobi, they were rattled and lost. surprise your opponent and beat them to grave. this must be the motivation behind the indian team in the final test. we can definitely win the match and the serious, it just needs our players to up their performences a bit more. we have shown them we are capable in the adelaide test. just another 5 days of a good show, where everyone plays to his potential, the border-gavaskar trophy will be us. play on guys. let us show them what we are made of... al the best to the indian team.....
i feel that little partiv got enough chances to prove his credibility, its high time to send him back to play in the domestic game so that he gets time to make himself a better keeper. i think that others should be given a chance to prove themselves.
It is really frustrating even for the viewers on tv to see the australians sledging the indian players. Being the best team in the world it is unbecoming of them to resort to such bad behaviour. After all they are winning the match by hook or crook. It is high time the match referee to be tougher on them. By their bad behaviour they bring direpute to the game
Where were these incicents when India won the test match? Why didn't anybody raise the voice then? Indian team thought about this only after losing to the mighty Australians. I do not understand what goes on in the minds of Indian team. Why can't they accept defeat as it comes?? Why so many complaints.
