Every day the story keeps changing,first Harbhajan didnt say it then next day Kumble says he offered a apology even if he didnt say it,then next day its Symonds who started it(how can he start it when it was Bhajji who hits Brett Lee in his butt,man thats gross) and then next day Sachin sends SMS and next day he hasnt sent a SMS,guys dont u see it,these guys are lieing,most of these things happened during match fixing times as well,he said you said finger pointing. Atleast 3 players would have their effigies burnt namely Dhoni,Dravid and Yuvi for the way they have played so far and now it is all diverted. They are making it sound as if no match ever was decided by bad umpiring,what about SK Bansals generosity to Bhaji in 2001 series and AV Jayaprakash and so many other umpires cheating?And have Indians never started a sledge,what about the recent one between Mohd Yousuf and Kumble? Guys dont support these liars and cowards,they want the match fees as well as pretend as if they want to abandon tour,they are just bunch of losers finding a good excuse.Why even play Aussies if they think they are cheats and sledgers? Did Aussie cheat in 2003 WCUP final or those ODI matches theyve been winning against us for ever?

you seem to be staunch Australian fan.even people in Australia are criticizing their team's victory by un-fair means

No one is criticising for Unfair play,just to control their team,do u really think our players never sledge?Or our umpires never cheated?

in broad day light this all happened, TV replays are showing all the mistakes(cheating). but u bunch of liars dont want to accept and only believe and speak out all hypothetical things like they want money and they do not want to cancell tour,it seems you are blind because you cannot see and digest THE TRUTH and the plain and simple truth is this australian team is bunch of talented but cheater player but liar aggresive but arrogant.
Yes one has to move on in games for the sports benifit..a match standerd lies in its sportmans spirit.and not the controversies which follows in it.just forget the faults and default and move on to build a great cricket history.
ponting does not deserve to be in the same room as kumble. let ponting go to hell. the mentality of the aussie cricketers is such that they will have respect for you only if you abuse them
The recent incidents have displayed great qualities of Kumble. You dont have to show your disgust by loosing your temper and making so many statements. He was disappointed and angry too but did not loose his cool. As a captain he has to support the team which he did pretty well but at the same time he has to make sure that they do not cross boundaries. His one sentence said it all 'Only one team is playing in the right spirit'. Just because the Aus behaved arrogantly does not mean Indians do the same. We all knew what a fighter Kumble is on the cricket field always giving 100%. Now we know that he is also a very mature individual. Throughout all of the recent events, he showed tremendous courage and maturity. He was tough but at the same time did not show even an iota of arrogance and in fact did the right thing by offering to talk with Ponting, unlike the arrogance showed by Ponting. There is no doubt that Kumble has emerged much taller after this. There is no point in prolonging this issue because India got what they want so far. Regarding the Harbhajan issue, the appeal's process is still on and India is still keeping its options open. Until that time, it is better to focus on cricket. If you want to destroy Australian team's arrogance, the best way is to play better cricket than them.

Kumble is very soft.. not fit to be captain..he has no guts to defend his team from australian aggreesion. He is trying to be nice now which will make no good against aussie.
Somebody correct me..since when is being called a monkey a racist remark? That to a countryful of people who are known as Kangaroos? And bless your soul Kumble for siding with your team mate. The Sardarji at least has balls to risk his future but not be treated like a 2nd class citizen, which most Indians are treated in commonwealth countries. Bravo, Harbhajan! Way to go mate!!
Looks like Indian team is playing for money than country. BCCI should pay huge money to ICC if the game is stopped. That is the reason that Sarad Pawar said to continue the game though the issue on Harbajan is not completely closed. He should have considered countries pride. We should have refused to pay the money as the mistake is completely with the umpires selected by ICC and of Australians. We should not have soften like this. Indian team would have demanded for Sydney test cancellation Indian team should have stand firm until the ban on Harbajan completely revoked and then only should have proceeded for next game.

BCCI is doing all right, and it's not for money. Don't be short sighted. The whole white world is hurt that India is fighting for it's pride. In such situation PR is important. BCCI needs to put it's step carefully, and they are doing so. Remember, the discontinuation of the series is in suspension, if Bhajji's ban is not revoked. Yes, if there is a legal way, India should ask for cancellation of the 2nd test results.
