****ing umpiring decisions

In a match where Ricky ponting became the third umpire and Indians were playing against 13 on field opponents yet they manged to bring it down the wire. Top three batsmen were given out based on the appeals by the australians, worst of all Ganguly was given out by Ponting rather than the umpire. Just a chat with any Australians regarding this will land them into trouble of racial slur. Umpires have judged Sachin 4 out of 6 times wrongly when he was in the late nineties last year. Now a match which India could have won easily was forced to a defeat. Indians almost managed to come out of a defeat but the umpires stood in the way. BCCI has expressed concern over these things. They are planning to lodge an official complaint to the ICC. But I think it will not do any good, Ponting and the umpires have to be fined for breaching the rules and if this situation continues, the Indians should recall the tour. They should not have any regrets in doing so. Indians are cheated right from the start of the series down under. Seven decisions went against the Indian team when they were batting and four when they were bowling. So these decisions turned the match entirely in favor of Australia. The Australians should be 200 to 300 runs short but with the help of the umpires they have made it. It takes great team effort, technique and character to win a test match, in this manner, Ponting should be really proud about this win.
