I am a keen follower of world cricket from gavaskar era. But this is the worst test match won, which would have won by opp team only because of bias. Australians are invincible but of behave worst when they are at recieving end.
I would like Mr Ashish,the greatest fan of Australian team to respond to what happened to day. What about Mr Points outbreak in Press conference? etc.etc

It was sheer luck of Tendulkar that he did not get bowled out by sc.m.bags Bucknor and Benson. Unfortunately, all his heroics were wasted, the second innings saw Hussey getting the benefit of Benson's largesse. Ganguly was given out off a grassed catch. It's appalling to see that all this has not affected Ponting or Symonds who will make mega million bucks, and face the mirrors every day for the rest of their lives.

Today Bucknor is the proud owner of a house in Sydney -- after all he was the man of the match and helped the shameless aussies win -- well done auusies you are showing the world how to pla cricket with 11 players and one umpire---
Maximum mistakes Bucknor has done are against India. Wonder if there is any other Empire done so much against one particular Team?? India should file a complaint against him.

I do not know which other Empire has done worse to which team but I do know that the Britishers build up an Empire and that is how we are playing cricket today.

mr debashish ghosh there is no link between what you are writing and what actual discussion is going on....pls remember that things
are jealous of the aussies as they no 1 for a long itime ,the aussies have a high benchmak which no other team can touch and tats wat eats up people who call the aussies names but fail to see the hard work which makes them brilliant sport men

by Ankur Bakhshi on Jan 05, 2008 05:22 AM
yes ashish no one is doubting on that and you know the reason for that its because they work hard and we have the people like you who can only say that the other country players are good but do nothing to improve on ourself.

No one is jealous of aussies. Its their attitude. No one in the cricketing world like them inspite of being no1. West indies team in 1980s were popular inspite of being no1. They showed their supremacy only through bowling and batting and not by sledging or not by taking the help of their local media when other teams visits austraia

thats not true Mr.ashish, look, Can u say that Ricky Ponting has the right to act himself as a correspondent of a gentleman cricketer? Can u deny the fact that the Australian cricketers are very bad in their on-field behaviour with the opposition?
The Aussie players are only good at their cricketing skills, nothing else. There are certain exceptions like Gilchrist, all others are hopeless people.
One more thing, as not u said, the West Indian Cricekt team at the 80s did win most of their matches only with their skills, not sleding. As u gotta understand, sledging is not an obvious thing. ok?

dude no one is here to say aussies are weak...they r strong in their game but weak with their conscience...the same ricky ponting who asked karthik to walk in the final odi in india failed to do the same when he was caught behind in similar fashion....all big talk and no action that is what the aussies specialise in!!!
When reputed umpires makes mistake of the kind which is seen in the 2nd test at SCG, which changes matches character and probably the scenario of the series, why not umpires are penalised from match referee fees, which all the umpires concerned in the match should face the consequence and change their style of umpiring. A.K.CHAKRABORTY, KOLKATA
A serious action should be taken against the players who knowingly stand on crease after getting out, only beacause they only know that they are out or umpire has not given them out.
They should be penalised by taking help of the technology like snikometer etc at the end of the day.
By doing this the cricketers will fear to cheat the whole world.
i see so many jealous indians blamin the aussies for wat happd ,why cause aussies r the world champs and wat happd to the indian media when murali was out in the last one day agaisnt australia? no one bothered ah

dude..the outcome of that match hardly had any effect on the series..but in this case i guess u have enough brain to think and understand about how the series outcome might be affected... try reading the comments of peter roebuck given above..
RE:and indian media?
by ashish on Jan 04, 2008 12:06 PM
well u guys will read wat peter has to say cause he has questioned the umpires but there are a lotta articles which talk of how the aussies have laid a bench mark that other teams can never reach and so wat happens when murali was out in the last game agaianst oz ,did u bother talkin bout umpiring?
RE:and indian media?
by Rationalist on Jan 04, 2008 12:22 PM
Stop cribbing about Murali.It shows their weakness that they could not get a no9 batsman again. And why should Pointing comment about that when he is not the one who would not prefer to walk on his own when he is out. Hypocracy is'nt it? It shows how bad loosers Aussies are. They could not accept the defeat.Winning and loosing is all part of the game. But attitude is'nt. Just compare when how Indians have swallowed the blunders of Steve choosing not to protest over. That shows the who is superior by attitude.

haha ya like some indian wud walk if he got a decision in fav of him ,who u fooolin dude and bout attitude tats why india is still a 3rd world and give anythin to live in oz any wys the aussies are the world best and tats wats eatin u guys

if the Oz were the best they wouldn't have cheated in the game. They knew they were losing hence they cheated. They did not want to lose. Why wld the umpire screw up his career. The Ausies have paid money to umpires to last for his life time, to give wrong decisions. otherwise why would the umpire ask the players ie. pointing whether to give out or notout. He was confused whether to give out or not hence he wanted ponting's opinion.
RE:RE:and indian media?
by ashish on Jan 04, 2008 12:08 PM
is not tyhe question of the series its the quest of us jealous indians and how we cant stand aussie supremacy and will blame the umpires the pitch the coaches the managers for every loss india has -- haved to manintain though tat sachin and lazman played brilliant cricket but on the other hand the entire oz team are wizards of da game
RE:RE:RE:and indian media?
by sharmila naik on Jan 07, 2008 06:02 PM
U are blind after seeing the recordings of the blunders and the captain himself admitting the mistakes u are talking like a fool. If the Oz were the best they wouldn't have cheated in the game. They knew they were losing hence they cheated. They did not want to lose. Why wld the umpire screw up his career

RE:and indian media?

Mr.Ashish, A team becomes great when they grab attention by showing their skills, and showing respect to the opposition. Take one example, Ricky Ponitng said that Karthick should ve walked. But he never walks. I would like to say tht its a personal attitude whether to wlk or not. But if u dnt walk, dnt expect tht from others. Here also the problem is not whether Pnting had to walk or not. Its their ugly attitude towards the opposition that irritates the truw fans of the game. Whether its India or England or Pakistan, all the teams are given a warm welcome and good respect in India, rt? u know that. When Bangladesh beat India, all the Indian players congratulated the Bangladesi players, by going to them and giving shake-hands. We cannot expect this from the Aussies, as some one said before, they are terrible losers...!! They can never ever accpet anything against them, the unfortunate fact in that is they would go to any long not to happen so. There lies the ugly face of their sportsmanship.
Steve Bucknor might have been out of umpiring business long ago if the rules and regulations of ICC are strictly followed and if there is any accountability in ICC umpiring panel. I think he may be bribing some of the officials of ICC to consider him for matches? Or there is any kind of match fixing between few countries, whom he helps by giving out to few in form batsmen and also by not giving out to few outs to the bowlers? This must be probed by the anti match fixing cell of the ICC. Enough is enough. Let our most so called powerful BCCI must take it up that must not play matches when Steve Bucknor is umpire and object the same before hands. Have our officials have balls to do that? Or face it and do not make any fuss.
