I have to wonder if I'm missing something. There were plenty of poor umpiring decisions - but they went both ways. Let's not forget:

- Ponting was given out LBW off a huge edge.
- Lee was given out LBW when clearly hit outside the line of off.
- In the Indian 1st innings Laxman was plumb LBW off Lee when 12.
- In the same innings Tendulkar was almost as plumb LBW of Clarke when 36. (Laxman's was hitting middle and leg about 2/3rds up, whereas Tendulkar's was only hitting leg about 80% up.)

How would India have gone if Tendulkar and Laxman hadn't received their two reprieves?

I'm not saying that the umpiring was good, or even that it didn't affect the match, but let's get some perspective here, it went both ways.

Dude if you are comparing LBW'S too.Then the amount of decisions going against India in the test triple to about 22.There WERE atleast three times when symonds was out LBW two of them plum of kumble and harbhajan.

Haha,as much as I was gutted to know about india's loss i couldn't help being amused. I was working in my company (yes,on a sunday),and when two overs were remaining and clarke was coming on to bowl, i told my fellow colleagues and seniors (who breathed a sigh of relief) that india has drawn the match, i was almost shocked at the result,and now i think those people are after me now.
For all the times to be over-confident, never do it when india plays...

By the way, no matter how bad the umpiring decisions India was still capable of drawing the match which it didn't, so I'll say 'Well done,Australia'... actually no, that doesn't seem right either.

I would be really surprised if bucknor is not removed from the elite panel after this.
In India the media is absolutely bashing the aussies and there was a special show how the aussies target umpires and how they whinge if umpiring decisions go against them.

Indian board has just confirmed that either these umpires go or the team will not play.

Any mention of the latest in a long line of 2nd innings capitulations by India?

A draw probably would've been a fair result BUT the fact that India lost more than half their wickets to part-timers is a sorry indictment upon them

In all the talk about umpires, this seems to have been lost

its quite disgusting what some of our crowds and players have done in the past, but the cricket world has always gave it to us for it ( and we deserved it, its a bad thing )

apart from the australia, most of the cricket world want to let this one go to the keeper and you can't compare anything we have done as a cricketing nation to that mumbai crowd, that was just bad
