I think most of us who follow cricket regularily know very well that umpirimg errors sometimes works in your favour and sometimes against.It is important that Yuvraj and the Indian team put these behind them and start looking towards the 2nd innings and perform better.Everthing is impossible till it is achieved. If 499 in 4th innings has not happened in the past it might happen now.It is important to look at things that are in your control and not pondr about things that are not in your control.Iam a die har optimist and still feel that India are in with a chance if they go with a positive mind.
RE:YUVRAJ NOT GUILTY

not only when they are playing against australia, against any of the so-called "white skinned" teams! remember how sachin was penalised for wiping the mud off the ball in south africa? and how sreesanth, harbhajan et al were fined for excessive appealing?
To Squeeze Yuvraj into the team at the cost of the winning team combination and breaking the rythem is a big big big mistake. Yuvrag is a great batsman but he has to wait his turn.
Even if Yuvraj has been charged for his behavaiour on the ground, there must be some law, in case umpires have made a mistake by giving wrong decisions, the players must be let off and rather the umpire must be punished by ICC not the player.

I fully agree with you, Mr. Suresh Chandra, that Umpires too must be punished for their mistakes. It was very natural for Yuvvi to be astonished on the decision and not leaving the crease immediately. We saw the replay and found that his bat was way away from the ball at the time snick sound came. This sound might be his elbow rubbing his chest or whatever. The umpire was very cruel on Yuvraj.
