McGrath was the one who asked the Lara's P size. In response Sarwan said " I don't know, ask your wife." One over later Mcgrath threatened Sarwan that he will break his neck if he ever mentioned his wife.

the reaction from McGrath was because his wife had cancer. So if the true character of the aussies is to protect your wife in this situation then the aussie can stand proud. Rather that than the sulking and bullying behaviour that the Indians have just displayed

Yo bro! She had cancer, and McGrath's response was acceptable right? How would he have reacted, had he said- "ask your mother"? And that is the kind of stuff Ponting and his dogs bark vociferously..
Why sahould a cheat feel sorry. Does a theive after theiving feel sorry ? He is perfectly right to not feel sorry it is we as an Indians should feel sorry that we who are simple & law abiding people who are playing agaist such a filthy and gutterral team whose members are feeded on excretia.
Ricky must no be the guy we saw playing cricket at SCG. Otherwise only someone with value system rotten to core could say "I did nothing wrong". "Spirit of the game" when it comes to cricket is "Gentlemen's game". The kind that means you walk when you are out, treat others with respect, play fairly, et. Ricky obviously doesn't know that. Thanks to TV and replays, the stink on the field doesn't stay there and it's out there to be witnessed by anyone around the globe. Sad part is that after this shameful display by the Australian team, it's Australia that has lost it's face. By guilt of association with team that claims catches which are grounded, never walks when it knows one is out, thinks it's its birthright to direct whatever dirty/rotten language at others, expects others to just roll over and take crap,etc. Sorry, after this game Ricky, in particular, and rest of his team will be known as a team of cheaters, liers, whiners, non-SPORTSMEN. If Ricky and his team played the game in the spirit he is claiming to have, the series would have been 1-1 right now and the world excitely looking forward to an epic battle down under - and not at the mess that may have very serious consequences to the future of the very game.
Peter Rebouk one of the leading and respected cricket coulumnist has said that the way the second match went about he is surprised why the Indians have not packed there bags and gone off. There is no justice for them in this country nor any regard for them. He said that the ponting behavior has put the entire nation to shame and ponting has turned the 10 playing gentleman under him into pack dogs. Mr Gilcrist scratch your ass a bit so that your brain begins to work.

Have a look at Peter Roebucks profile , charged with child abuse , convicted of common assault on 3 boys .... he is hardly a respected or leading writer , just a headline seeking individual
Some rules have to be incorporated by ICC to give the other teams a perfect clarification for playing against australia-
(1) Ricky Ponting %u2013 (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED ) should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE decision is final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field. This rule is to be made, so that every team should understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE .
(2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 metre distance), the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should be seeked from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.
(3) While BATTING, AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.
(4) UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backi
Gilchrist, Nest time when you visit in India for shooting an add, we will provide you a royal treatment and we wont feel sorry for that..I hope you will enjoy
Trouble with this aussie team is that they are chasing their own shadows. They are good....aspiring for agreatness that they don't have....trying to have people give them the tag of the greatest team that played the game.....they think it is bt woinning non authoritatively that they get this. Being childish as they are with no perspective of history they are simply trying to win hook or by crook. Such a stark contrast to the Westinidnas under Llyod and Richards or the aussie team under steve waugh. This a rowdy group bringing down the game and whining how great they are!!! what a bunch of schmucks!!!!
To show our solidarity and for the pride of the nation..... We will bycott BCCI s IPL ( Indian Premire League) if BCCI signs even a single Australian player.........
