Hussey caused controversy when he stuck out his hand to knock down a ball that was headed towards the stumps while he was attempting a run, an action which India believed should have led to him being given out handling the ball. However the onfield umpires Simon Taufel and Billy Bowden liaised with third umpire Simon Fry and decided that Hussey was protecting himself, and therefore did not give him out. Hussey went on to score a half-century as Australia won by 87 runs, which left India with only the slightest chance of squeezing into the Commonwealth Bank Series final. India skipper MS Dhoni said afterwards that Hussey should have been given out, but Warner backed the umpires decision and said that he would not have lodged an appeal if he had been fielding. "At the end of the day you have got two umpires and they are the ones that control the game," Warner said. "You just have to listen to them. "If you appeal and it is given not out, it is not out and you get on with it." Warner went further, saying that India had been guilty of appealing excessively all summer when things were not going their way. "We have seen the desperation from the Indians this summer and they are (still) trying to get something out of it," he said. "They got beat 4-0 in the Test series and now they are not doing too well in the one-dayers so they are trying to appeal for anything at the moment." The Aussie opener also claimed that India were allowing their behaviour to have a negative impact on their performances. "We have seen a couple of times this summer the Indian batsmen just standing their ground, but once you are out, you are out," Warner said. "Even little things are getting on their mind like people moving behind the sightscreen. "Not once have any of the Australian players done that and I am not sure what they have seen behind there. "There are little things on their mind and it is obviously affecting their game." Warner said the Indians were still very competitive. "They are unbelievable as a unit. When I'm batting I feel I can't get the ball past any of them because they're so athletic, the young ones in the team always move and cramp your style," he said. "They'll find their form eventually after this series - I think they play Bangladesh next. I wish them all the best. "They definitely haven't lost interest, never have, they're always out there for the contest. "We know exactly what their players are like. With guys like Kohli and Raina in their team they have got aggression and are always putting their front foot forward for their country."
J P K Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 should this cowlasher really be allowed to play ipl ?
Ultimate_Game Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Another pillar of "spirit of cricket" chimes in :haha: So a valid appeal for handling the ball is "desperate" but Lee coming in the way of SRT is not :hatsoff:

Deleted_User_1 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 "They'll find their form eventually after this series - I think they play Bangladesh next. I wish them all the best." That was below the belt, but probably deserved!!! :giggle:

That was below the belt, but probably deserved!!! :giggle: I have zero reaction these days at insulting comments at Indian team. Infact i encourage more aussies to insult our Indian team. We here are cursing our players no end hoping for change. But we all know it is not going to be heard. More insults like this by opposition players might stir them to extent.
f.b.m Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 bogan A fascinating beast. The majority of the species are hideously repugnant and unintelligent, and yet they manage to breed in ever-increasing numbers and populate an area known as the outer west. It is quite common to find five or six offspring in each family group, often with a different father for each new baby. Their habitat consists of a weatherboard or brick-veneer dwelling and is characterised by an early-model Holden or Ford in the driveway surrounded by a group of males discussing why the carby is stuffed and the results of last night's footy (a primitive gladiator-like spectator sport enjoyed by most bogans). The female of the species, while smaller in stature, is far more loud and aggressive than the male. While the males tend to be very friendly and congregate with other males, the females spend most of their time in supermarkets and shopping malls, using a shrill high-pitched call to discipline their children and contact other females. Males and females rarely interact socially except during breeding season, which is otherwise known as Friday night. During this time, females are allowed to enter the male-dominated area known as "the pub" and display their impressive coloured plumage to a prospective mate. Herein lies an intersting phenomenon. Males will often fight over a particularly attractive female and she will mate with only one male, while some less attractive females have been known to have several partners simultaneously.
