Australia v India 2nd test

[jas929406]

Does anyone have an opinion on the 2nd test between Australia and India.
I have been on YouTube and it is going off big time.India is up in arms about the umpires and some of the Aussie cricket players.
I watched the game and the umpires were pathetic and it had a bearing on the result imo.

The Indian players and countrymen are going on about how unsportsman like Australia played that test and that there was only one team playing in the spirit of the game during the 2nd test.

Did anyone watch it or has any opinion on the matter???....feel free.

My opinion is that the curry munchers should go home.
They've done enough damage to cricket in the week as it is.

They're a disgrace to the game and have no honour whats so ever.
There remarks towards Pointing are insulting and disgraceful.

Go home you chicken **** *******s and grow a pair of balls.
You were outplayed in the last test and lost fair and square.

The ICC should of kept the spine and kept that ****** out of the game.
None of them deserve to be on the same field as Pointing, Clarke, Symonds or Hussey.

GTFO. "Wheres your VISA's!"

Cmon Plug you cant seriously be suggesting they won fairly. Some of the umpiring decisions were terrible.

The Australians were the discrace dobbing on Harbahjan for calling someone a monkey. Is that even racist? Everyone would be lying if they say they have never been called something worse. A slap on the wrist at the most. Has anyone else noticed that the play Ponting told on was the same bowler to have embaressed him throughout this test.

I admit Australia are the best team in the world by far but they are very bad losers and cant stand a challenge. I agree with India in thinking that if they are not gonna play fair then they can play by themselves. Australia need to lose to wake up tp themselves

Plug, that's a bit harsh, mate.

I've got Indian blood, but I'm an Aus supporter and the whole situation is an absolute farce and extremely ugly and I'm not taking anyone's side in the argument - as one of the players said it's damaging the brand of cricket. Harbhajan's a well renowned **** stirrer and if he did call Symonds what he did and there was supposedly an unwritten agreement made pre-series for this not to be mentioned again then that is very poor form and he should take whatever punishment he gets. Of course we don't know if he really said that as there is no concrete evidence (it appears) and it'd be unfair to penalise him without it (innocent till proven guilty) and it will open a whole can of worms with regards to sledging (already started to happen with the Hogg and Kumble/Dhoni incident). So he should get let off.

The Indians calling Australian's unsportsmanlike is very hypocritical. I've follow Indian cricket a fair bit (my brother's a mad supporter) and a lot of their players don't walk until the umpire gives it out, show dissent, appeal when it's not out etc. and the modern day Indian players sledge just as much and as hard as any other team. The assumption that all Indian's are saintly, godly etc. is wrong. As a whole sportsmanship is dying at higher levels of sport, cricket is no longer a gentleman's game and never will be as long as it's a professional sport and people have to understand that.

Regarding the umpires, the Indian's have to learn to cop it on the chin, look at other areas they could've controlled where they went wrong in the test and get on with the next match, that's what Australia does and is one of the reasons they are so successful. You occassionally get these matches where you get a lot of ****ty decisions but in the end it tends to even up. It's happen to Australia in the past e.g. Ashes 2005, sub-continent tours in the past, Harbhajan's 1 wicket hat-trick etc. That said though the standard of umpiring probably does need to be looked at, and Steve Bucknor's been making a lot of ordinary decisions for quite some time and should've been looked at ages ago.

Anyway hopefuly all the disputes can be sorted out tidily and the Perth crowd bloody hell behaves themselves, as if they don't the situation has the potential to get even more ugly.

You have got to be joking CrowsFlag.
Sure the umpiring was **** and IT DID help Australia to win but what did the Aussies do wrong besides play the game its suppose to be played.
Why should any player walk of the ground if the umps cant do there jobs(90%+ OF THE WORLDS CRICKET PLAYERS WILL NOT WALK).
The game has come along way from being a gentlemans game ,with all the sponsor deals and players earning high amounts of money,personal pressure from a players perspective in regards to keeping his spot in the Aussie team or any cricket nation.(cricket has come along way since the bodyline game with England).

The deal before the first test was that nobody was going to use racial slurs at anybody and Harbhajan broke the rules and was not dobed in by the Aussie players,the umpires took control and made the complaint to the ICC and it went from there.

Yes India could of won the game but is it the end of the world.....no.
HARDEN UP INDIAN CRICKET TEAM AND FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE IN THE 3RD TEST IN PERTH.

To suggest that Ponting only made the complaint because Harbhjan has his messure on the pitch is just the sort of dribble you read on youtube by Indian supporters(some are much worse).

[Plugg3r]

So you didn't witness the 2 decisions that got 2 Australians dismissed without touching the ball with bat.
One of them was on 163 or so am I not correct?

Also, the decisions in the test have gone both ways, yes there was the Symonds decision that was incorrect but besides that?
The Indian's talk of honour... They have none, to be honest when they turn up in Perth they should see how it feels to me abused by the fans like Symonds got.

40,000 fans yelling "Show us your Visa's" would be a great start.
They started this whole little caper, now lets see if they can handle it.
I hope they get there face rubbed into the dirt.

They had no chance of winning the test, because they were not good enough.
They didnt even bother trying to chase the total and gave up and tried to withstand the days attack.

They got done, if they hadn't it be a different story.
I have no respect for them as they're a pack of liers and baby's, using leverage of pre-ticket sales and knowledge of how balless the ICC is.
This whole test is ruined now by them and I hope they get abused and embarrassed.

Go the AUSSIES!

And in regards to the sledging.
If some Indian Cricketer came up to me if I looked like Symonds and called me a Monkey I would of done 1 of 2 things.
Called him something VERY VERY Racist and nasty and would ask him for his god **** Visa.
Or put him on his *** so hard that when he wakes up it would be Game Over.
And what would of happened to me? 1yr Ban?
He coped it for the whole ****ty Indian tour, he shouldn't have to at home.

Well they havent lost in so long, you cant hold it against em...the 05 ashes was the last im pretty sure.

All Australia did was dob in Singh for making remarks to Symonds that were deemed racist...especially after the one day tour in India recently...when even the biggest indian fan would say that the crowd was being racist.

Singh copied them to taunt Symonds...and it worked.
India did the same by dobbing in Hogg for calling Kumble and Dhoni 'b a s t a r d s'.

In Australia that isnt offensive, but in india it is.

So why is all the hate towards australia?
The match referee told them to dob in any racist's before the match, and obviously the ICC saw Singh as a racist, and banned him for 3 matches.


I still dont see what australia did wrong?
I think the indians are making a mountain out of a mole hill, personally.

The hate towards Australia is the result of Ponting dobbing Harbhajan in - which he's within his right to do - as well as the so called 'poor' sportsmanship by the Aussies (mainly re: claiming catches - which is absolute **** as both were Clarke and Ponting clearly caught them, also walking to a lesser degree - again absolute ****). and yes, I agree with you the Indian's are making a "mountain out of a mole hill" (although the media and various sports personalities are doing more than their fair share), and their whole argument is very flawed.

it was one of the most exciting test matches in my lifetime.

poor umpiring decisions will always be part of the game, and there is no point complaining.
and i totally disagree with the comment about the Aussies being 'unsportsmanlike'. they didn't break any rules, and their sledging tactics weren't racist. i can't see what the fuss is about?

[Plugg3r]

Come on, the Indians got publically embarrassed and humiliated against the kings of cricket.
They had to divert the attention somewhere else to avoid the bashing of how **** they played.
