I'm a bit embarrassed by some of the umpiring decisions but as I said sometimes they go your way sometimes they go the other.
Talk is of a referral process where captains can challenge a decision and then it is referred to the 3rd umpire. 3 or 4 challenges availaable to each team per match.
All that's no use. Just hire good, fit umpires. Darn it. And retire the ones who are fit no more. Oh, and pay them well.
For now, Bucknor needs eye check-up...fast!
Did yopu look at my video?
One or two wrong calls...no one minds, but when it goes over four-five/ match, you know something is very, very wrong.
This is not how Test cricket is played....
I didn't. I'll, though, sometime later.
I'm off to watch a movie.
.... Dravid having dragged his way to 24, an edge off the bowling of Stuart Clark found its way to Mike Hussey in gully. Bucknor walked to his fellow umpire Mark Benson and the decision was referred to the third umpire.
Replays revealed that it was a bump ball and the batsman was given not out.
Then, with the score on 171, Dravid edged Mitchell Johnson to Ponting at second slip and appeared to take a step towards the dressing room, only to be saved by Ponting, who suggested the ball hadn't carried.
This time replays suggested the Australian captain might have got it wrong, but that no clear judgement could be made showed, yet again, the limits of both human judgement and the camera.
I've gotten over the fury. Now I can have a better perspective on the whole issue.
Be back sometime.
We've had Indian players racially abusing one of our players. We've had an Indian batsman arriving at the crease late and with two right gloves, in a desperate and blatant attempt to delay the game. Then the Indians come out and accuse Australia of "breaching the spirit of the game". Personally, I've had a gut full of this pathetic spineless garbage from the Indians. I hope the Aussies beat them 4-0 and they scamper back to the sub-continent with their tails between their legs like the worthless little losers that they are.
Why don't you say what you think, Wilso?
I could only see the last half hour yesterday. Real edge of the seat stuff!
when they've stopped monkeying about, perhaps they'll start playing again.
Even a trained monkey can play cricket better than an Indian.
They twisted the tiger's tail and bitten on the ass for their trouble. Now they want to take their bat and ball and stomp off home. Pathetic little pansies.
Cheer up, folk. This is just a game.
That's an Indian saying that.

Game she says! GAME!!!
Fans in India burning effigies of referees, etc.
Calls for Ponting to be sacked. The rest of the team to be sacked. Indians taking their bats and balls and going home.
That's not taking it as just a game.
I think both sides should take a bit of a look at their behaviour.

aw come on wilso. I always thought you such a laid back easy going kinda aussiefella. You cant go around insulting the second biggest nation or earth and think its just a game of cricket. Sometimes you aussies are so thin skinned and thick headed.
India has about 1,100,000,000 people and nuclear missiles. Australian doesnt.
hi margo.
I'm only pulling your collective legs
this dispute is really silly and I just wish BOTH sides would get back to the serious stuff of whacking a leather ball around a cricket pitch
