coffee_rules Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Agree with Doc. Complain about umpiring officially. Continue fighting. I think India should lodge a protest against MR also, if he doesn't reprimand Ponting for claiming a grassed catch (of Dhoni). He then has the balls to say that the batsmen should accept the fielder's word on close catches. He is a clear cheat and he should be reprimanded with a fine or a ban. Link to comment
Guest Hiten. Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 No, IMO. Stick out there, forget the umpiring, and channel your anger into playing better. Ignore factors that you have no control over. The world will judge India by how they recover from this. It'd be a shame if we let go the opportunity to fight back. second this Link to comment
beetle Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 >>>The world will judge India by how they recover from this. Really...??? The record will say 4-0 in favour of australia...there will be no mention of the helping hand of the umpires. If we had left the ground in protest today...at least there would be hope in the next. Don't expect fairplay by this aussie umpire team. Link to comment
beetle Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 And why the bloody hell should we play with such a heavy disadvantage? Link to comment
Indus_Army Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think that will be a strong message and force the ICC to sort this aussie-umpire alliance. Let BCCI get screwed for some money....they deserve it. Nope..such a move would be too drastic and is unwarranted. A strong complaint by BCCI/team management and diligent follow-up is needed. The complaint must also contain a request for replacement of Bucknor for the Perth test match. Link to comment

beetle Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 No wonder we have been screwed up so many times..... Link to comment
talksport Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 no i dont think we need to emulate the pakistanis. I am proud of the way Anil Kumble and his men fought it out despite all odds and represented our country with dignity. There is no dignity in losing .....This is modern day sport, You win it either by Hook or Crook Link to comment
bunny Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 We should call back our seniors asap. Rest AK, SRT, RD, VVS, SG etc. Send the India-A team. It will serve many purposes and if we can pull a win that will be the sweetest moment ever. Link to comment
beetle Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 yeah....send the future of indian cricket to get screwd up royally...... Link to comment
Dhondy Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Actually, feel quite sorry for the Indian fans whining all over PP and looking for sympathy, just as they were looking desperately for some appreciation when Tendulkar scored his ton. They will get none. Link to comment
goose Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 i'm with beetle. certainly should Bucknor be there in Perth we ought to pull out. i want this test to be PERMANENTLY etched in everyone's mind as the test that was interfered with by grossly unfair umpiring - how do we do that? Link to comment
bunny Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 yeah....send the future of indian cricket to get screwd up royally...... We will know who the real contenders are. Of course if the senior guys play and we win in Perth that will be sweet as well. (but that's unlikely because all of our good fast bowlers are injured right now. We will need a miracle in Perth).
