2nd Test Gavaskar/Border Series
Australia retains the Gavaskar/Border Series and with it the record for 16 straight wins in a row, another record in their kitty.Congrats to Australia....but do they deserve the win??? may be if you are an Australian or one of the three umpires(thanks to some wonderful umpiring including the third umpire who couldn't spot a stumping chance when referred to him).
This is the most controversial test match, thanks to the most esteemed umpires that are standing in the middle who needs to check themselves whether they deserve to be in the fit to be at this level, may be ICC can take a look at beauty of decisions by their elite panel, not one..one after other they kept on doing the mistakes. Anyways a team with 13 players(including the umpires) will definetly have the advantage.
Most ridiculous of the decisions that were made to mention a few....
Ponting caught by wicket keeper but wasn't given out, he went on to made 50 odd runs and to add fuel to the fire his testimony was taken into consideration while giving Ganguly out :)
Symonds was out thrice for sure if not fourth time(once leg- before, once caught and once stumped most ridiculous of things is that he was not given out by third umpire this time)
Jaffer poor guy was bowled by Brett Lee of a no-ball
Dravid given out which he has not nicked....
Replay's showed that the leg before decision of Hussey was not given and he went on to make a century...well played buddy
Ganguly given out which clark has clearly grounded the ball..to add to the controversy the stand in umpire took the words of fielders(ponting and clark's who stood their ground when they are clearly out and umpire has no minimum common sense to consult the leg umpire or the third umpire and and gave ganguly out as he got the approval from fifth umpire Mr.Ponting????
Decision on Harbhajan singh's contoversy with Symonds hope he will not be banned from tests or one days by taking the words of players with out proper proofs... hope ICC will not take the decision by considering the words of fellow players and ban bhajji....
All in all a good fight by Indian's and all the best for the rest of the tournament..
