India will lose this sydney test too.

Do not get decieved by my topic title..I wish India all the luck, well wishes in the universe if they go about and even draw this test which began today. I saw the entire innings riddled with sinfully,blasphemous,outlandish,humiliating umpiring decisions..all in favour of the aussies..so my title.

not 1 ,not 2 not 3 but 4 umpiring decisions and that too in their favour..with even the third umpire who was also an australian gave a wrong decision....friends it cannot get worse than this that a batsman....symonds who was really out at 30 was given not out and is still playing 137 not out ..gleefully telling in the press that he was out and he does not care😡..i mean guys...which era are we living in ..can't Kumble and his men walk off after so many terrible decisions...is there no code of conduct for the aussies or the umpires...then why play this gentleman's game?.i had to let this off my system ..firends ..if you read this thanks for reading.......

Every side gets bad decisions against it at some time, the problem is against Australia you can't really afford to have them as they know how to go on punish you in an innings.

As for India losing this match, they will if they bat as negatively as they did in the first test. Dravid for example, took 116 balls to mate (from memory) 5 runs. To beat Australia you need to put them under pressure and attack their bowlers.

That said India can be really proud of themselves, as they are putting Australia's batsman under pressure, so I'm still confident that if the Indian batsmen are more positive they can still do well in this test series.

thanks for your thoughts...i just felt there were many cric fans here..so felt we could discuss the way this test is heading....that's the point ..one wrong decision from Bucknor and one wrong decision from the 3rd umpire makes up for 162 run pile by symonds..it cannot get worse tahn that..i just heard that jaffer was bold today from a no-ball by Lee

agree wid u there....

India at the moment is batting well...dravid n VVS both gave a good partnership...but the problem is that they both got out today only...wen there was onli little tym left to the end of day's play! 😕 Both wer set batsmen! And both got out one after the other playing stupid shots! 😕

Anywayz they still hav Sachin n Saurav there..

I know....even I was a lil shocked at the decisions of the Umpires....Steve Bucknor is an experienced Umpire and I would have never expected this out of Bucknor or the others.
I am glad that Kumble and his men decided to let go that controversial umpiring decisions and not take action.
What could they have possibly done? I mean....the innings was over....could they get the runs back?? no rite...?
i appreciate them for keeping quite and not making a big fuss out of it.... 😊

That is very true. India deserve alot of credit for the way they have conducted themselves.

On a seperate note it's great to see Laxman doing so well and in some style too, his postitive approach has shown the way to bat against the Australians.

I'm convinced India despite the bad decisions, can still win this series, at the very least the fact they are competing despite the bad decisions just shows how well they are doing.

i mean why else are there THREE umpires?!! 😕 what a stupid mistake to make that cost the team 100+ runs 😡 very poor umpiring! very biased and that was proved yday!
and they complain when they come 2 india and wonder why they aren't been treated properly 😆 now they should expect it!

r u talking about sportsmanship or something else that Aussies shud learn from the Indian team...!
If u'r talkin about sportsmanship..then may be u r rite...but if talking about cricket....I think Aussies are masters of cricket...other teams look upto the Aussies to learn a few things from them...coz at the end of the day, they are the BEST!
