By on field umpires and third umpire and they should be punished or at least reprimanded for the same. It would not have mattered on the result. It could have gone either side or still a tie. It was Dhoni who is trying to practice batting and hits only when it goes out of hand. 230 runs were very much chasable easily, but we made a mess of it.

icc's technology development so good, congratulations allowing to bowl a 5 ball over.when players are punished umpires also should be punished for there mistakes icc should act equally
It was great mistake as replaced Sehwag by Tendulkar.What average sachin has has given on this position comparision to sehwag?Not deny he was a good player but shold retire and vacate the place.

why don't you join selectors... You might not done .001% in your own field where you are in comparison to the person you are judging
yes, india cud win this match rather tie, its total 4 umpere fault, may be intentionally or unintentionally but where is the use of technology! they counted 30th over wrongly for 5balls , not 6! with 1ball addition, india cud win this match, when only 1 run was needed!
just like the players are presented with a penalty for any mistake the umpire should be given equal or more penalty since the winning team has lost points in points table.
Interestingly, as Mohandas Menon pointed out on Twitter: 'First time both teams have scored same number of runs, lost same no of wkts, faced same no of overs, same no of extras, same no of 4s & 6s!' The two teams even had the same number of maiden overs: 2.
To add to these stats, there was one more similarity: From both sides (15 fours and 2 sixes had been hit yesterday) one batsman hit 6 fours, one 3 fours, two got 2 boundaries and two hit 1 four each. Apart from this 2 batsmen hit 1 six each as well. Is this a coincidence...So many coincidence in one tied match ???
