Why noone is thinking about the culprit of all this, Mr. Ponting. He should be punished first as Rashid Latif. Why BCCI and PCB are not raising request for this behavior. This all happened due to Ponting want to bread Steven Waugh's record, and in cannberra the decision are going to be more towards aussies. Jab Buckner ke khilaf koi sakth kadam nahi uthaya gaya toh ab Bowden kyon katraye ga wahi galti karne main...Paisa sab ko pyara hota hai.. Agar khun karne ki koi sada na ho, toh paise ke liye kafi log khun karenge..all are not same.. Recent news said that Ponting was seen with bowden in a party, ab kuch toh lafda honey wala hai, par BCCI says..Tour should go on... Its better for we indians to play in PlayStation or PC cricket then to watch the real, at least it will not hurt our emotions.

In my opinion, Billy Bowden is one of the best umpires. After Saroop Kishen and Dicky Bird, I admire him as a just and honest umpire. Also looking at the amount of worldwide protest and contempt for the Australian team and also what happened to Bucknor, no umpire would dare to be unjust. Still, let us wait and watch. jatin raval

What is the use of the Board which can't protect the honour of the team that fetches millions of dollars to make it the richest board of all the cricket playing nations? This was bound to happen when politicians get involved in the game. In game they play politics and in politics, they play games so that they don't miss either of it. jatin raval

I think we need Munnabhai to handle the BCCI President first. The team India would have certainly returned if Mr. Sunil Gavaskar or Navjot Siddhu were the BCCI President. What we consider as Values, to them it will be an emotional outburst. Values are certainly missing. jatin raval
BCCI took some step because there was strong public outcry otherwise BCCI with people like Niranjan Shah & Lalit Mody would never take any step and would lick the boot of ICC for their own personal gain. BCCI is totally a political and commercially run organisation. It is not a sports body to say the least...
now they believe BCCI got some relief. but if the appeal goes against bhajji will BCCI cancell ODIs??? I think they wont?? what u think people??? because BCCI is full of politicians running it who never cares for people.

No the Australian Tour will be continued and hearing will be pending this tour will complete...its simple calculation ...how they postponed the hearing in test same they will do till one days would be complete
It's a shame that BCCI has backed out of taking a strong stance. Now Indian players should stand up by their team mate and refuse to play. That will teach Australia and BCCI a lesson.

From the predictable outcome of the whole issue of monkey business, it appears that even if the cricket as a game has got a beating, it has really suited our team profusely having not to face the ignominy back home for their successive drubbing by the Aussies with their horrible batting display. They have very cleverly diverted the whole attention blowing the issue out of proportions.Readers , wud u like to react ? Sukalp mishra
