The "Farce" at SCG and the Australia tour

After the "farce" at SCG, I strongly believe that India should discontinue the currentr tour, unless ICC nullifies the result and declares the result as "No result - attrocious umpiring".

This is what happens when you have your heart set on a draw

And a guy who got two ducks and is in the team as a batsmen, takes 3 wickets in 5 ball's.

I notice you are not pointing your finger at Harbajan Singh, RP Singh or Sharma. The Indian trio that failed to negotiate 5 ball's nor the probable 2 other overs if one of them had of stayed in.

I hope you do not reflect the spirit of other Indian supporters with your "sour grapes" dummy spit.

With such series taking place so frequently, greg, isnt it time to wake up and see why the umpires are making so many mistakes? Yes, human error happens. But when they can be minimized, cant they? How come the umpires in the final of a world cup were not aware of the rules? Why does not an umpire refer a close call to a third umpire when the facility is available? Why should an umpire consult a player before giving a decision while he can take help from the third umpire? Such mistakes need a closer examination.

And when an umpire keeps making mistakes, its time to get a better one in his place. How does the ICC evaluates the ability of an umpire? Mistakes do happen. But when they happen too frequently, you just cant turn a blind eye.

it is easy to say tailenders didnt hold on. They are tail enders after all. And how can you forget innings played by these very tail enders earlier in the match. What about atrocious decision that went against set dravid and in form ganguly. Your regular bowlers couldnt finish off our tail but fortuitous clarke bowling to clearly demoralised players is branded as a match winner.

Yes Clarke was a match winner wasn't he ? He took 3 wickets in 5 balls. Australia won. India lost. Period.

It doesn't matter who took the wickets, in the end Australia did.

BTW: Lets bring a couple of Indian Umpires over for the Perth Test, they can adjudicate as Australia crush a "demoralised" India.

What? India pack up their bat and ball and go home?

This is just ridiculous Kasamse. Give it up and be a little more graceful.

Here's a link to one of my posts regarding an Australia vs India match where Australia was shafted by umpires. It's cricket mate. Show some grace

Australia defeat India to lead series 2-0

Forget the umpiring, the Indians won that one fair and square, but the Aussies played very well and can hold their heads high too.

Maybe they should pack their bags and go home. That is if they don't fight back and show true professionalism and character under adversity in the 3rd Test.

If they leave, then New Zealand could come back over so the Aussies could thump them too.

so what do you expect indians to do? Forget all injustice and laud you for undeserved victory? It is like winning a duel with a man whos right hand is chopped off by some illegal means and then berating him for not holding up with remaining hand. Indians at least deserved a draw here.
