I think every test playing nation has some gripe or other about umpires in certain series, but talk about the ICC should nullify the result would bring a waiting list of series to be nullified by other nations thinking back to when they thought they had been hard done by.

India are 13-1 of 5 overs, and would be better served fogetting the umpires - and get on with the job of saving this match.
They got 500+ in the first innings, so batting out the day would be better than thinking about having a result overturned - if that's the case - what's the point in carrying on playing the rest of the match?.

Symonds to Dravid, OUT, oh dear, looks like there's been another questionable decision there, Dravid given out caught behind when he padded up to it outside off, the bat behind his pad and nowhere near the ball- cricinfo


This is getting disgusting now. This match has become a complete farce.

How can a team play when the umpires are determined to give victory to the Aussies. All the umpiring errors have favoured Australia. A match which India would have won easily has been taken over by the umpires..

That Dravid decision was disgusting, I'm not going to start calling out conspiracy theories but if I was Indian I would be spewing at the umpiring in this series.

Dhoni nicked one off the glove, caught by Ponting. Not Out.

It all evens up doesn't it?

All of them???? Dravid, Tendulkar and Laxman were all given not out early in their innings to plumb LBW's. Get over it Kasmamse. LOL

No, it does not. If Dravid was not given out, Dhoni wouldn't be out there to nick that one.

Second, two wrongs do not make a right....and I have now lost count of how many times the umpires have gone wrong in this match.

Test of Ponting's captaincy here

India 181 / 6 about 12 overs left to go

Where is Michael Clarke and his left arm 100 kph off break darts

Hogg appears to slow and spinning to much

I think Clarke who does have test bowling figures of 6 for 9 on a spinning track at I think Delhi deserves a chance with his higher velocity range on this almost end of day 5 pitch.

As for Hogg....I still think he is a passenger in this team and should be terminated sooner rather than later.

He is not in it to bat and none for on a fifth day from your specialist spinner is not the answer. Plus at 36 thier is no real future.

Better with Tait in, and let Symonds and Clarke handle the spin duties at least until Cameron White comes back on the scene.

And if Cameron fires the spot I possibly see in trouble may be Michael Clarke.

Fields too bloody attacking put some men inside the ring.

Bring Brett Lee back I want to see him rip a yorker.

Hogg turns it too much as Acker says. My boss here in the office isn't too crash hot about the idea that I've got the TV on.
