India Down Under...or India Made to go Down Under...
What happened @ SCG was more than a fiasco...more than embarrassment for another SUBCONTIENENT team...more than dejection of a team capable to topple the mighty Aussies and a far greater shame for the game of cricket.....all courtsey...THE 3 UMPIRES...or rather they should be called as "VAMPIRES".
Everyone knows Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson did their level best to make Australia win and let them continue their winning streak but it was the 3rd umpire which was worth noticing...No...I am not talking about the TV umpire but the acting 3rd umpire on the field...Mr.Ricky Ponting...Making decisions himself and then boasting of a win...boasting of equaling a legendary team's record led by Steve Waugh...forget it Sir...You can't even think of such a thing in your wildest of dreams...If that's how you win matches...go on and make a century of your winning streak...We are better off with a 'x' match winning streak for ourself...
I think time has come for the ruling committee...to scrutinize the game if they want it to stay and flourish...else the day is not far when cricket will be played only at gully levels and will be eliminated from the international sports arena where it has to compete with mind boggling games like Soccer and Formula1.
