I know Losing to India in Perth has come hard on the Aussies Captain Ponting. We should really investigate the 16 where Mr. Ponting team achieved the feat of 16 Wins in the following fasion: 1. who were the umpires then, 2. how may wrong decisions go for the Australian team at crucial junctures 3. How many times the playes and Ponting in particular had abused and hurled comments on the oppostion team members and got scot free. 4. How many opposition members were booked/ fined / penalised for no fault of theirs in these matches 5. Accounts of the Umpires before and after the series were enriched by either ICC / ACB under some or the other pretext. 6. Definitely the malpractices were involved. They should be stripped of the undeserved wins after this investigation and the matches should be recorded as won by the Opposition teams. Such Players like Symonds ,Ponting and Pub Clark should be banned for 5 test matches each.

get real dude, very few teas actually challenged them. australia is weak without sledging that point was proved by england and the ashes tour when england stood up well, and the aussie media criticised the team for being 'nice'. ricky ponting has been getting away with a lot of lbw decisions in his favour, that i have observed over the years, and also other teams have observed that aussie team gets away with on field offences, or get punished mildly, they also get decisions their way more than others. what happened at sydney was a combination of it all. and thats why indians were pretty pissed. but, the other teams should also stand up and not put up with the nonsesnse. just like how sri lanka did with hair, or like inzy did for ball tampering issue , or how we stood against mike deness.

They would have been stopped at 13 by sri lanka. Sanggakara scored more then 150 runs and was all set to end the game in a draw (Malinga also scored runs) when he was given LBW when he got a good nice edge. The umpire later even apologised to Sanggakara.

but he wouldnt have stopped the winning run, he'd have made that stats less at 15 wins, and since we were also done by the umpiring at sydney, the stats would have been 14, not even what steve waugh's team achieved

Steve Waugh is another ass who always got away tampering the pitches and umpires. In a way you can say Border started it.

In 3rd test no one find aussies abusing, i.e. without abusing they could never win
The barrage of criticism after the acrimonious Sydney Test had forced Ricky Ponting [Images] and his teammates to discard their ruthlessness and the rather civilised approach to the game never really worked for them, he said. Mr. Mike Coleman are you trying to say Aussies were uncivilized all these days?
RE:Rather civilized
by shraddhanand desai on Jan 21, 2008 01:12 PM
Or, is Mr. Coleman admitting that all these years Aussies were winning on account of their "uncivilised approach" and not because of their "cricketing skills"?
They wish they were me, but they can't be, because they are Indian. It is good to be loved =), worshipped and idolised, I'm like the Australian Cricket team around here.

Hello (ter)mite!! Nice to have you back.. this match was won by India fair and square and first match was won by Australia fair and square.. can't say the same for second match. Lets hope we have a clean 4th game irrespective of who wins. But it feels good to have stopped the mighty Aussie train in its tracks.. now you will have to start all over again .. LMAO!!!!

Also, I take issue with me being labelled anti-Indian, I believe the term you should use is just honest.
RE:chris rock
by chris on Jan 21, 2008 08:27 AM
I could care less to be honest. I don't always agree with hawk eye. Australian commentators, like myself, had no problem with Clarkes catch. And I disagreed that either of the stumpings were out as no frame showed to me a bail completely dislodged (rules state that 1 end is not sufficient) and a foot undoubtedly with not 1 stud on 1 blade of grass of the pitch, and where the rules states that the benefit of the doubt goes to the batsmen nothing less suffices to be able to give a batsmen out.
Simply put, there will always be controversial decisions with or without this use of 'technology', many sports do use it, and they still have their controversial calls.
So shrug, don't care either way, it's always been that way and always will be. The real shame in the matter is the sub-continent teams which have all failed at one point to accept an umpires decision and had a tantrum and not played on, or India's case at least threatened to not.

I don't know what to make of Indians, you are a particularly strange little creatures. Reddif is a circus, a peanut gallery, hang out of the unwashed masses, I come here to troll the hilariously uneducated effigy burning rabble which is the great majority of India, to which this Sydney test was a taint on their 'honor' lol.
You will never, ever, find a mainstream Australian website and its inhabitants advocating abandoning a sporting match because of umpiring decisions.
And for those who care over here, we know full well what the India media is reporting, on our cricket forums we link it and laugh at it along with the Roebucks nonsense.

Your comments have always been derogatory and have nothing to do with cricket. You are still in colonial mind and I think you need a psychiatric treatment for your own good. Why don't Australia accept defeat? a real sportsman is some one who learns to accept defeat.Now and then you are reminded by india what is a defeat. You better learn to live with that, man why don't you grow up?
You'd never see an article like this written by Australian media talking about the Indian media, we just couldn't care less what you people think. Why do you value our opinions so much?

Because we believe in giving a fair hearing to the opposition. Can you Ozz live this new found self belief of the India as a nation. My guess, No. Sack Ponting now.He was in the pitch as a minnow who just cant face bhajji and ishant now. Take the sledging out of you and you are only half a good side. We like to beat a full side. come back with your sledging and we are ready to give it back to you.

Hey Chris, if you "couldn't care less about the indian media", why are you wasting your time reading Rediff? Surely the very fact that you comment here, shows that you do value what the indian media says, particularly as rediff is unknown in Australia.

Chris, Just for the record this is NOT the first time India own against Australia. Check Stats you will find that Australia has only tiny edge 10-8 wins in the past 10 to 12 years... Check your records before saying whole ONE Win...

You do not seem to understand. I like onion. It doesn't mean I gorge myself on it to the point where I absolutely reek of it and then go out without cleaning myself up. This is what Indians in Australia do, they absolutely reek of curry to the point where people purposely keep their distance from them as they walk past. Why is this? Do they not understand how disgusting they stink?

Chris ! You seem to be deeply impacted by the loss of Oz. That supplemented by your search for your father has turned you on to be a disgrunted, arrogant, peeved moron. I suggest you not to waste your time on rediff. And Ignoring comments of such morons will be the most practical option available. Bringing the entire Oz and Indian fraternity into the thread is absolutely unnecessary. I believe such medium of communication must be used for constructive criticism and not for personal whims.

Chris,,i think you have very much investigated about the India and Indians. I also think you have investigated much about the % of aids in India or Australia..are you some kind of retail vendor of condomns and trying to sale your shit product after imagining these kind of stories..I think you have spent most of ur life in just noticing what Indians are doing..thats the reason you know so much abt us..infact more than what we know..abt the indian curry i want to say that Australians who are so lazy and are like animals who can eat anything raw without washing and fighting with obsession..If the curry is so bad why everbody in europe and other western countries like it so much..I think you have some mental problem ..go to some psychiatrist..u have gone mad due this loss of match..

At least we don't shout "Australia s..ck my .. c..ck". I was at the ground and heard an "Educated" Oz shouting "India s..ck.. my c..ck". Wonder what kind of education that is, especially at a Gentleman's game. Besides I don't think that idiot even imagined what would happen to his "thing" if 1.2 biilion ppl did what he was shouting/asking for. I pity his g'frnd. India outplayed Aus at their favourite ground where they haven't lost a game in a decade. Believe it! Don't cry!
