undeserved victory

The Sydney (2nd) test match is definitely one of the most controversial, its no less than a match fix. Indian team has played some excellent cricket in this match (excluding the last session, they should have ended it well for a draw).

In the end it looked like, 15 (Ind) vs 25 (Aus) due to the pathetic umpiring (any county umpire could have done a far better job). Australian team has lost the respect all over the world due to their immoral behavior.

Former Aussie players batted for the current team saying that, its the way cricket is played in Aus and visitors needs to understand.... it sounds like we are not going to care for you, but you should. how stupid!

Another former says that morality only applies to taking catches but not for batting. how discriminating...

Someone rightly said, down the line people will only look at the stats (India lost the match) and never at the circumstances. Had umpiring been normal India would have won this match by a big margin (I am sure, Australian players were not able to handle Kumble at all).

The best innings of this match is definitely that of Laxman's magical and flawless century
