I read the evening newspaper (ie MX) on the way home and it mentioned that only 4 decisions went against the Indians . :finger:

Good to see the media standing up for once for India. I thought the Indian media were always in awe of the Aussies and treated them like special people.

Ponting acting like a chump and dissing someone from Indian media might have had something to do with it.

Well he had pushed the BCCI chairman off the dias once but I didn't really hear much noise from the media then.

Poms are loving it An article from bbc.co.uk India have had enough and are suspending their tour of Australia until they get a positive outcome to their appeal against Harbhajan Singh's three-match ban. Match referee Mike Procter appears to have taken Aussie captain Ricky Ponting's word that Harbhajan used the term "monkey" in a racist manner against Andrew Symonds. Given that Ponting has been less than honest at various other stages of the match, India rightly feel thoroughly aggrieved at this latest turn of events. So now we have the threat of a tour being abandoned and once again the ICC has been plunged into a crisis. Why does Ponting - who on the final day was seen raising his finger like an umpire to give Sourav Ganguly out when Michael Clarke had claimed a dubious catch - get treated so favourably? Ponting also tried to claim a catch on the final day that had been obviously "grassed". This appeal is going to be as big an issue as the Inzamam-ul-Haq affair at The Oval in 2006, if not bigger. If the decision against Harbhajan is upheld, India could cancel the remainder of their tour and their very membership of the ICC would be at threat. Tours of Australia, for any cricketing nation, are always fraught with difficulties. But for India on this occasion, everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong. It's one thing that the umpiring has been against them - sadly this often seems to happen to teams touring Australia - and then their last three batsmen managed to get out to Clarke to lose the Sydney Test when the draw was all but secured. No wonder they are taking a stand on the Harbhajan issue.
