Its can not be anyone's case that the umpiring has been biased or that the umpires have been cheats. But it can not be anyone's case either that the umpiring has been of acceptable standards and that includes the poor decisions that have gone against Australia too.

Lets leave our silly nationalism aside and discuss a very serious matter with the seriousness and objectivity it deserves. The umpiring in this match has been amongst the most terrible in memory. The fact that its not because of any bias or cheating on the part of the umpires doesn't mean a damn thing.

I dont care who the bad decisions favour. The two biggest shockers in this game have just happened to be against India. Even if both of them would have been against Australia, the fact that they are shockers wouldn't have changed.

Grow up guys. This is about bad umpiring and not about which team you are supporting. By obfuscating the main issue with your team loyalties and misplaced nationalism you are only reducing the level of debate on a terribly important issue.

Haha, you think this has to do with Watson? It's cold hard fact, he was out on about 30, he was out (IMO) stumped past 50, and Rahul Dravid was about 15m from hitting that ball, but you're well known for ignoring the facts in the face of complete idiotic bias towards your favourite players. No, I don't think Symonds should be in the test side, but I wouldn't have Shane in in front of him any time within the next 12 months and you know it.

All in all:

Is that what the sub continent teams do? Leave the field after bad umpiring decisions? Clarke caught that btw.
