What a painfull end to an exciting five days , Usual norm at the end of close encounters is to say " Well !! the better team won" , and on this sunday not even any one fom the winning side has uttered that phrase ..that for me epitomises the match
It was match full of events, bitter ones if you got blue gear on your head. And they got every right in using all the excuses,but nothing on earth would justify not playing out nine deliveries when you got 3 men to go. So after all the symapathy its right to say India squandered it away.( well...Umpires Pushed it to Draw from an Indian Win ...Indians helped by Umpires pushed it to Aussie Win)
I really do find it funny when people debate about integrity etc.... Well...let me say...every team is playing for a win these days( and Darling its 2008)... Words like Integrity,Honesty...are permitted in law books and press conferences. Iam Sure India would have done the same thing if they were going to have crack at Australia in Final Session...Rewind Back Kolkatta 2001..So for me thats not a big Issue ....and Just FYI theren't many hypocrytes who can come close to Ponting on Hypocracy scale ...He Knows all that Integrity thing is show off. and nothin like that exists in game ...
I guess Its up to Umpires, take decisions on their Instinct rather than reputation of appealing player , they should stop judging palyers...treat em all as Dishonest crooks
I some times do get the feeling that Mr .Bucknor watches ( Aussie)Player Body Language when making decisons..This theory of Bucknor bailed Aussies out from a potentially match losing situation
After MCG, Indians were badly hurt, they did show a great character in sydney to put Aussies under pressure for the most of the match ....its obvious they are hurt as their sweat is being pissed by umpires down the drain. And that does aggrevate the pain they are in
Coming to Aussie show.....Australia took their biggest gamble in reporting India's premier off spinner for Racist remarks( This is a big joke....I don't think any Cricketer can get under the skin of this Aussie team verbally). Assuming Harbajan has said what ever Symonds Claimed to have said...I don't think it would have mattered much to him...By the way where on earth is using Noun of a specie is Considered Racist....and Iam sure it wouldn't have for these thick skinned cricketers.
I guess this sole show is to attack the morale of visitors ..(who are already hurt and bleeding )and dig deep in to their wounds and aggravate bleeding ...as they say, they might bleed to death in Perth...but even if an ounce of life is left in them...beware.....they will be immune to pain then. So lets wait and watch if this gamble pays off

Hey! What about those catches. Which clark and pointing took. WHat's the explanation for that. They dont even play Honestly now!. I think aussies are addicted to winning, for which they would do anything.
I will have to second your thoughts even if emotionally speaking, the game was not played in the real spirit of sportsmanship...btw nice post..keep going..
