The International Cricket Council is taking a rubbish defence that it has not taken action on Australian captain smith for taking the help from dressing room for going for the DRS nor on Indian captain Virat for his out burst. It ought to be noted that the Indian Cricket captain was right in his out burst. What was he suppose to do ? Just be mum and let the Aussie Captain commit a breach by taking help from the dressing room for the DRS ? The breach by smith is a serious issue that even the Cricket greats like Sir. Sunil Gavaskar and, Mr. Steven Waugh has condemned it.
We Indians should protest and demand action from ICC against Smith and ICC does not take any action then people should come out of streets and should stop the series
I partly agree with Sunny but I feel methodology is wrong. Referral should be immediate like tennis. DRS was introduced to obviate clear errors like edged bat pad etc. And successful referral should not result in reduction of available referrals but only in case of unsuccessful ones.
Of all the countries in the world, Australia was being used by the Britishers to imprison convicts. On their release, the convicts would form colonies. Generations of these white-convicts settled there this way.
The point is, crime is in the genes of Australians. Wherever they visit, their criminal mindset surfaces. Cricket is no exception. Their taking pride in ' abusive sledging' tactics shows their criminal mindset. If they can't win, they would put all false charges on the opposition and after a loss, they would become crying babies blaming everything from the pitch to umpiring but not themselves.
The unlawful, and many a time, bullying behavior of Australians is always supported by white officials of the ICC who have a racist mindset. These officials would never take cognizance of any complaint made by a non-white team. On the contrary, they would impart severe punishments on Asian cricketers for paltry, many a time, for no offenses. Even a false complaint made by white team members would be taken seriously as the gospel truth.
Remember, how Harbhajan Singh was targeted and charged falsely in 'Monkeygate' by Australians. Also remember how in Nagpur Ricky Ponting had thrown down a whole TV set down on the road from his accommodation on the fourth floor. This matter was hushed up. Had an Asian player committed such a crime, he would be behind bars first thing.
Asian teams must boycott Australian team as well as ICC. That is the only way.

Who can forget about the Zaheer Khan and the jelly beans incident , Rahul Dravid's Lozenges incident. In the first case it was hussed up and no action was taken because English cricketers were involved. The second case was blown out of proportions, even though it was not intentional only because an Indian player is involved. And who can forget many wrong decisions given to Sachin Tendulkar, if not for those wrong decisions, India could have won many more matches and Sachin could have crossed maybe 150 centuries or even 200 centuries. Racism is rampart in ICC and above few incidents along with current incident proves it beyond doubt.

Even though biggest muscle power is BCCI, you are still afraid ICC can ban V.K. Shame still that servitude mentality of Indians (subjected to 200 years of British Raj) still haunts and dominates them in every section of their life!!
