Strangely Aussies and ICC are firm in not allowing India to leave. India is trapped into contract, fearing punitive fines. Ongoing dispute must not be allowed to continue beyond this visit. Do not plan contract extensions with ICC.

True, but win or loss is an insignificant issue, after seeing the decision on Dravid and Ganguly.
Mr. PAWAR HAS AN EYE IN ICC PRESIDENT POST .HE IS PRESIDENT ELECT. NEEDS TO KEEP GOOD RELATION WITH CRICKET AUSTRALIA . INDIAN BOARD OWN T20 IS COMING UP . WANTS STAR AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS THERE. DON'T WANT THEM TO CROSS OVER TO SUBHASH CHANDRA REBEL LEAGUE. THESE CHEAP POLITICIANS AT THE HELM OF INDIAN BOARD CARE A DAMM FOR THE TEAM.
ISSUE: MIKE PROCTER MATCH REFREE : TAKES OFFENCE BANS PAKISTANI CAPTAIN RASHID LATIF FOR 5 MATCHES FOR CHEATING(BUMP CATCH) NOW WHY IS HE NOT TAKING THE SAME DECISION AGAINST MR. PONTING AND CLARKE FOR CLAMING A BUMP CATCH. THIS IS RACISM BY MR PROCTER. HE SHOULD BE BANNED. ANYWAY THEY WERE AND ARE RACIST. THIS SUMS IT ALL.
THINK INDIA THINK . KICK OUT THESE POLITICIANS . SETTLE ALL ISSUEES WITH PLAYERS AND THEN PROCEED TO PLAY
v are happy that buckner kickedout by icc but what about other who given out by asking ponting instead available third umpire &ponting picking ball from ground&appeal for out shoud be punish under icc codeofconduct law
India should not continue the series. Why BCCI never take a call off opting out of the tour. It happens every Series with aussies. Ponting and his team were given best team spirit award during ICC awards it should have been otherway best team without TEAM SPIRIT. BCCI is Scared thats why Speed is taking Indians for a raid.
After watching the test match, I feel some rules have to be incorporated by ICC to give the other teams a perfect clarification (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 bac

(5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as RACIALISM only. (6) MATCH REFREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN TEAM advices only. Player views from the other teams decisions will not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFREES are to be given huge bonus if this rule is implemented. (7) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained. (8) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING - "THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGTIRY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET" more than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be played to break records and create history in the game of CRICKET. These rules will clarify better to the all the teams VISITING AUSTRALIA.

what was symonds accusation?? bhajji hits lee for a run.........bhajji goes near lee to pat him with his bat....symonds intervenes to block bhajji from hitting lee and says something........bhajji replies 'monkey' and it offends symonds so much that bhajji is banned for 2-4 tests or 3-6 one day matches!!!
am still wonder that no body came to know actually what are the words exactly bajji told to Symonds Just symonds said he abused me by saying monkey and some other monkeys are witness for that saying " we didn't hear but he made some comments" What nonsense all this
inzamam was really brave against eng, as he considered a ball tempering penalty of merely 5 runs imposed on pak team as a case of cheating not merely against pak team but as a charge levelled against pak nation. n here bcci asks team to go n play for the baseless racism charges levelled by ausi m*key against ind. its an insult to nation.

i need not b paki, merely for showing good side of their capt's bravery. i feel sorry for ind not to hv shown such kind of bravery from our bcci, money minter. (even sports writer roebuck said he was surprised y ind was still playing ausi) bcci whose president is shameless licker of ausi for their votes bcoz he wants to become icc president. atleast sachins sms (if he had really sent it to bcci) that if bhajji is not cleared, v will not play perth test was good gesture on him n team as a whole to show solidarity in this crisis.
The brown coolies of the BCCI did not spent much time to 'soften' their stand. One can almost feel the relief on their faces to get a chance to back out.

bucknor was wearing both specks and contact lens...so everytime he raised his hand, he was merely saying 'ask God' as he could not see properly!
