It seems the slow death 'Steve Buckner' is to be called back from his retirement to prop up Australian cricket!. They could extend their supramacy for 2 more years by extending Buckners tenure by 2 years--- Always a dreaded "12th man" in Ausssie side!
Here is it how it all happened: 1.Haddin appeals for caught behind of bowling of R Harris.None of the other aussies inclusive of the bowler appeals.It goes to 3rd umpire and DRS. 2.Tony Greig on replay say since ball and bat are close ,it must have been a faint edge , Ian healy ( a keeper backs his community i.e Haddin, Mark Taylor says no edge and not out 3.Umpire has conveyed the decision to field umpire Dar.It is not out. 4.Ricky and P siddle remonstrate with Dar on that.Pictures of Ponting and his teammates watching the Channel 9 replay on big screen.Ricky is seen congratulating siddle rest of aussies including Harris and Haddin are not saying a single word.finger gesturing from siddle and ricky to umpire. 5.Ricky is talking to KP the batsman who says he do not know same as bfore the challenge made. 6.Greig, Taylor says the scene played out is not good for the game 7.Commentary change former captains Bill Lawry and Richie Benaud comes in.Lawry says you should never challenge an umpire once a decision has been made and he is correct.He is literally blastig Ponting.Benaud says what a poor appeal , only keeeper appealed ( He means to say it was not an edge as bowler not appealed. 9.Tony Greig the former Eng Captain is the one who offers some relief to ricky saying it is bad becuase these pictures make headlines in all papers.He is prepared to say there must have been a faint edge. ALL former AUS Captains comes down heavily on ricky
Death of a Gentleman's game!Ponting pointing finger at the umpire speaks volumes about the Australians character,their culture!Let us see how fair the Australian papprazzi are.
Ponting is a born CHEAT,a rogue, a rascal and a downright rotten person.Ranjan Madugalle must be attempting to migrate to AUS, hence cannot afford to displease the Aussies.There have been umpteen occasions where Madugalle has let off opposition teams with only so much as a reprimand.
Its death of Australian Cricket & not of Cricket. England were little lethargic in Perth test & now after such wakeup call, they have bounced back with their true potential.
Whatever Ponting does is right.I,though Indian, aleways want Aussies to win even against India.Thats bcos I am an illegal immigrant in Australia working at McDonalds in Flinders Park,Melbourne.I live in a shanty sharing 2 rooms with 9 other illegals.But I live in eternal hope that one day I will get a legal visa and then PR in this amazing country.Maybe if I bad mouth my own country and flatter the whites it may come true.

Nobody is interested in your illegal immigrant status and the "forced" support for the Aussie cricket team. We are talking of cricketing abilities here and the battle of temperaments betwween the 2 arch rivals. Get your facts right my friend.

Illegal immigrants are always danger to national security whether these are in India or else where, Victorian Police should take note of these Pseudos.
Untill they all including Gilchrist.Symonds and Hayden publicly accept and apologise the cheating and snatching of Sydney match from India in Sydney 2008 ,they will continously be humiliated like this ,the day they accept the plot they created to defeat India ,they will be back to their old days,

We didnt cheat.India is a poor and weak team which sucks so badly it cant even win against Bangladesh abroad.Steve Bucknor gave right decisions in that match and Ricky,Symmo,Gilly and Pup played in the right spirit of the game,India are cry babies and we are the best.This time due to England cheating we are not winning but the game isnt over yet,watch out.GO AUSSIES GO!
