The second test match between India and Australia is over now and its just sad. Not just because India lost, but some of the Australian players I had respect for clearly cheated in the match.
First was Symmonds, who absolutely crashed the ball into Dhoni's gloves and stood ground. I know this happened because the idiot and useless Yuvraj stood ground during the previous test match. But then these are the sort of things that separates these two and now Symmo has fallen to Yuvi league. Sad sad sad...
Second was Gilchrist appealing for Dravid's caught behind, when he could clearly see there was nothing there.
This is what he had to say: "Talking about his appeal against Dravid, Gilchrist said: "There are times when you don't know. So, you ask the question. Every player has right to ask the umpire. I will say I don't appeal if I don't think they are out. If I am not sure, I will ask the umpire and I'll accept his decision."
Well, if you look at the videos, thats not what happened. Celebrating a wicket, without umpire giving out is definitely not asking him...
Third was Clarke, with Ganguly's catch, but then I never had much respect for him.
Then Ponting appealing for Dhoni's catch, when he had absolutely hit the ground with ball. Ponting also takes blame for the racial issue, as he has clearly overstepped here.
What this has ensured is that the Aussies are not going to find much love when they visit India next time.
