OT: 8-1
Anand
Nothing new for visiting team in Australia then?
And Aussie players!? Bloody wankers! Whats bitten them? Their
conduct on and off field has dropped from bad to worse. Do
they really need to go down to this level, cheat their way to
victory? Disgusting. The biggest wanker of them all, the Aussie
captain, was caught with his pants down by one our journalist.
LOL! Well done. He has become a laughing stock with that clip
being played on every News channel out here!
The biggest surprise of all this hara-kiri being Adam Gilchrist.
Punter's men got him as well... sad. Aussie cricket under Punter
is at its lowest, where the team have no respect for the game,
no ethics, no code of conduct.
Anybody wanting see "the Aussie school of cricket" be sure to
watch the highlights of the 2nd Test match between Ind and Aus.
And archive it too. This is original Aussie nonsense at its best.
And now do we wanna talk about the way ICC match refrees make
their decisions? LOL!

ROFL, didn't take the fuckwit long to whinge..
Sadly, Anand's typical Ferrari fan mentality of "we can't win or even
come close, someone must be cheating" is catching up with you.
I guess the 5 days of monkey chanting at Symonds, despite repetative
calls to stop it, was a sportsmanlike behaviour, right ? And you
thought that will have no consequences at all ? Right ??
The captains had a gentleman's agreement that close calls will be
called by the captains, that's been renagged as soon as it was used by
Ponting. "ohgeez, mightymine, we didn't mean that you could do it" ?
The ICC umpires with more years of experience than any of the players
are suddenly bad too.
Even their reporters say that they were mistreated by being challenged
back on their rather sharpened questions towards the Aussies and it
was humiliting to the poor fucks.
Soon enough even their baggage handlers will put their hands up for
being given the bags with the plastic handles. Get the fuck outa here.

Dear me, coming from Biasedshire, are we? You are really making a fool
of yourself by producing that link and over generalising it. It has
nothing to do with Indian supporters, nothing to do with the game that
was played between India and Australia at Sydney.
There is no doubt that the Aussies are a rattled lot, so bad that they
have come down to cheating. Gross misconduct is not new, when it comes
to Aussies. And talking about the racist controversy, all I can say is
"look who's talking"! Aussies have had an history with making racist
remarks and they have gotten away time again without any slap on the
wrist. Don't we remember the true wankers of Aussie Cricket, in the
likes of Dennis Lillie, Michael Slater, Steven Waugh, Mickey Ponting,
who have all done it openly on camera and still escaped suspension?
There was no evidence on tape with this racist controversy and taking
the word of a wanker in Punter and the steroid man, and ignoring the
feedback coming from the Little Master just goes on to show what ICC
match refrees are all about.
Just look at way a few Aussie supporters in this ng react when the
Australian Cricket is caught with its pants down. LOL. True rabid
nationalist, who fail to see the obvious and talk absolute nonsense.
I guess, playing against a better side brings out the true fuckwit
hidden in most biased Aussie supporters. :-P

I usually think that unfair decisions will even out in Cricket and
never talked about one before.
We have chosen not to use technology and sometimes umpires have a hard
day on the field.
But this test match was the limits. I am not saying that the umpires
were partial - they are
probably above such things. But it is true that India were impacted by
most of the bad
decisions.
With respect to racist remarks, if Harbajan made such a remark, he
deserves his
punishment. But to most of us it looks like Symonds did most of the
talking and
invited Harbajan into the trap and he fell for it, where he shouldn't
have. Thats the way
Australia plays their cricket and our cricketers should stop falling
to the trap. Racism has
no place in Sports, in life, nowhere and it should be condemned,
whether it be from
Indian spectators or from anyone. Most of us in this country(India)
has heard enough
about what our grand parents had to go through till 60 years ago - not
having right to
travel even second class rail coach in our own country. So I don't
think anyone in their
right mind will make racist remarks.
We are not complaining because we lost a match. May be we would have
lost it anyway,
after losing first three wickets cheaply. So much for our strong
batting line up. But we
strongly feel the two catches Ponting was referred to - one he
appealed against Dhoni and
one where Ganguli was dismissed and he was consulted, were grounded
before completion.
I do not know about the coverage Australian televisions had. But I
watched the match live in
Star TV. They were repeatedly showing the replay of those two catches
and today the same
scenes are being shown frame by frame on all news channels here. It
looks like Ponting do
not have a lot of ground when he claims he is 100% sure.
An agreement between captains do not guarantee that it will be used
fairly and that noone should
complain about it. He did one correct thing in first Innings, but
twice wrong in second.

game that bad calls will be made by umpires and that fans of the team it
impacts will be mad about them. What I don't understand is that automatic
assumption by the original poster (Anand) that these bad decisions are the
result of rampant cheating.

Well unlike Anand, you are actually a normal person, so this isn't
fair, how am i going to argue now ? :-)

Yes, sledging is old and well practiced here, but i believe it's more
a tit for tat thing now and all teams use it to a certain extent. This
was evident at the world cup too. I don't have to say much to deeply
insult someone, as long as i know his or her weak point and if the
person is outraged enough, he or she can come back with a barrage of
slurs. So that one is hard to call, since only those two know what was
said.
My main trouble with the decision is that, if the ICI can take one
player's word over what another one said, it will set an easily
abusable precedence.

Yes, there were some weird decisions and our own TV crew certainly
made notes of those. As long as humans are used, bad decisions will
happen.
Ponting saying that he didn't ground the ball is a bit strange to even
imagine how it didn't, with his palm downwards. Unless he thinks that
his fingers were under the ball, but it does look as if the ball
definitely hit the dirt.
To me, this still has all the marks of a losing side grasping for
excuses and now with the others(ie: reporters) chiming in, it is about
to blow out into a nationalistic issue.
It seems that, from the Indian cricket team's point of view, after 10
days of cricket only the Aussies got good calls and all else was just
normal play, with nothing going the oter way. I find that very hard to
believe, although i only managed to catch bits of the series so
couldn't point to anything even if i cared to argue it.

I can not stand Ponting, so you're picking on my weak point now. :)
I wouldn't put it past him to bend the rules as far as he can and even
a bit more, but i can understand that in the heat of the game people
do get a bit greedy and hungry for a result. Any of us who played a
proper competetive game of any sport would understand it.
It is time he left the team. Even Aussies hate him.
Incidentally, we had a survey on Sky(Aus) about whether the Aussie
team played unfair and the last i saw the result was 52-48% in favor
of "yes", so it is a very contentious issue here as well.
Aussie sportsmanship has been and still is examplary in most
international sports, except for cricket. It may be time to clean it
up and for that the ACA will have to pull their finger out and
disallow the sledging.

Don't have any faith in your team, do you? What about the likes of
Dravid, Ganguly, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Kumble & Singh!?
For a side which got more than 500 runs in first innings batting
second, got a /lead/, there is no way one can loose from there on...
And our lazy cricket board is finally doing something /credible/,
one could say, though this is mostly driven by us fans;

Theres a white line at either end of the pitlane that says, this is
the pits and mechanics are not allowed outside of those zones. This
is to stop the good old days where mechanics would go out onto the
racetrack with a can of fuel and a bag of spanners to try to fix
the cars.

It has happened before though.
S.Africa 1910-11 (vs. Aus)
Pakistan 1972-73 (vs. Aus)
Sri Lanka 1992 (vs. Aus)
Pakistan 2006 (vs. Eng)
" 2006 (vs. Eng)
The last one by Pakistan was the one where they lost by default.

Besides, ... how many matches in the past (Sunny days) played against
England / Australia / WI could be classified as /fair/ play?
