"The game was played in the right spirit by all means"-Ricky Ponting.
Right spirit my foot! Day one, the indians were right on top of the aussies till the umpires started acting gay, the whole world saw the live telecast, how the indians were denied of wickets which even a 5 yrs old boy might adjudicate. Never mind, we belted them all across the SCG...which actually ignited the real aussie spirit...Thats when all of a sudden Mr.Symonds decides to give sermon to bhajji who was firing alongwith the masterblaster Sachin Tendulkar....The second innings took cricket and its spirit to the dolldrums and finally a match which was evenly poised went into the dirty baggy green. Then the so called match refree who was supposed to deliver his judgement on bhajji-symonds issue takes the testification from Mathew Hayden and Michael Clarke who had divine ears who heard which nobody else who were inches close to the brawl heard(Sachin Tendulkar and the 2 umpires)...The match refree took their statements for granted and the backing from the rest of the aussies but didnt acknowledged what the most respected sportsman on the ground had to say. I mean what the fuck these bastards think of us and our players...this is the same refree who went out of his way to ban the Pakistani skipper in 2003 against bangladesh for 5 matches coz he took the similar catch which Michael Clark took and testified...Does that bastard has the balls to ban Michael Clark who kept the appeal after taking Sourav Ganguly's catch which everybody saw with their naked eyes on tv that it was clearly grassed.
This sort of second class treatment is nothing new for the Indians right from the day i hv started following the game. This is the same country who had a rule to adjudicate the little master Sunny Gavaskar in the 80s to give him LBW even if the ball hits his head...who wud forget the way he was given out at MCG in 1981. In 2001 tour everybody saw on the tv how Michael Slater displayed his manners against Dravid and shockingly dravid who didnt even showed any aggression was penalised 75% of his match fee and the aussie jerkoff went scot free. I mean the list is endless and these days they hv this new concept called racial abusement. Its so funny that the biggest abusers giving philosophy on racial abusement...I can never forget my experience in Perth, its only that i had the strength and international immunity to cover my ass and i cud shove their own abusement in their sorry throats and asses.
Its high time BCCI shows some character and put aside the monetary aspects and backs up our boys... The Pakistan cricket board has already extended its support to us after all when its about unfair decisions by the umpires, refrees and stupid behaviour from the opposition these two countries suffer the most. I mean how much do we loose, we hv the money 100 times more than any frekking cricket board in the world to buy anything we want and on our terms and in Ponting's words in the RIGHT SPIRIT, eh! So lets show some hard character and get the things done in the RIGHT SPIRIT.
