IS this really cricket??? I mean the way those umpires were umpiring....

Dravid was actually not out....the ball had brushed his pads and Ganguly toh was not out and even when he stood his ground, that umpire didn't have any wits about himself to refer to the 3rd umpire????!!!

This is really shameful.....the umpires have gifted away the match to Australia...and I really hated the way Ponting was behaving....the umpire asked Ponting whether Ganguly was out or not....wow....what an un-biased decision!

Now the BCCI is going to protest about this umpiring thing...but its really shameful both on the Aussies as well. Even poor Kumble didn't say anything in his post-match interview....but even he hinted at the things happening and he looked really disappointed

And they are inventing things against Harbhajjan Singh when video relays showed Harbhajjan wasm't even glancing at Symonds....it was Symonds who went up to Harbhajjan and started talking something....so how and wy is he blaming Harbhajjan??????

Really a disgrace!

OMG...i am so upset at the umpires...
first when austrlia was batting Symonds was out like 3 times!!!! but they didnt calll it!!!...and i remember MANY MANY times when the aussies were out but they were given not out!!..
then obviously Dravid wasn't out!...it clerly hit his pads...not the bat
but when Ganguly was callled out, the umpire agreed to what Ponting said, it like hello obviously hes gonna say he caught it ufff😡 couldn't he go to the third umpire, the balll hit the ground!!!!...
Dravid and Ganguly getting out was the turning point of the match i think
i am just so upset with the umpiring

and i dont know what harbhajan said to Symonds, but Symonds clearly started talking first...and Ponting was the one to complain!!!
but i hope Haarbhajan doesnt get banned from the next couple of matches because of that

I just finished watching it nd am FUMING MAD!!!!
well one o two or even four bad decisions are ok... but 8?????

I mean mistakes can be made... but what happened out on the feild as far as i saw was clearly not a mistake... the umpire wasnt concentrating and he very well knew what he was doing...

And well it wasnt like the mistakes were evened out on both the sides... after our unbeaten 500+ we coudld have atleast drwan the match but no that didnt happen cos the umpire was busy dreaming when they were supposed to be looing at the match!@!!!!!

Im just so mad at thisS!!!!!!!

BCCI must register a strong protest against both umpires...they should not stand in next test (I heard Bucknor is there in next test too) or else we Boycott the test.

Its high time we use your financial strenght to our advantage. We should clearly tell other teams which umpires we don't want for series or else we won't tour.

The fact is WORLD Cricket can't survive without INDIA.

Lastly, we should not hold overselves back..bhaad mein gayi sportman spirit...play fire with fire. Chun chun ke target karo Aussies ko.

I so agree with you. I am very annoyed watching the match. Lots of umpiring errors and everything is against India. Actually India could have won this match had Dravid and Ganguly not been given out unfairly. How the hell can they believe Clark and give out when the wicket could change the whole match.

Actually Aussies are the losers, they are sore losers. They cant take a loss and will do anything (read scream, glare at umpires) to get the match to their side.

Indians are the true winners.

I still cant take it. This should have been our match but hell Aussies won. But they won only because of errors and their disgraceful behaviour. 🤢 🤢 🤢 Aussies need to learn sportmanship from India.

Kumble should actually be proud, dispite things not going our side, we managed to get 200 runs and stayed on the ground untill the last few overs.

what can we do except write here and let loose our frustration and anger....imagine the plight of kumble and his men....in the land of those terrorists..they are so crude,dishonest and cheaters that it will take one full generation to exclude such monsters from the game.

i've never been soo disappointed with umpires in a match before. in both test matches, the umpires decision have been so controversionally wrong .. esp when the team members of the other side have admitted it, namely ponting and symonds. BCCI have lodged a complaint now, i pray that ICC do something about it, because it's really not a fair match. it's just pure racism!!!!
