Did you actually read the article? I don't think that anyone would argue that there were some **** umpiring decisions that game. It's not like that was the only issue that tour though. There was the whole monkeygate thing, pretty sure that was when Tendulkar was caught ball-tampering and then India kicked up a stink when he was rightfully punished too.
Not surprising that an Indian newspaper would focus on that one minor quote though lol

Lol.. I actually agree with you. My stand on what happened in that test and series is right here in CW for everyone to read from that tour thread. But it is ridiculous that the Indian journos keep bringing it up hoping for some words that they can use as clickbait. Everyone's moved on except the media.
In a weird way, it solidified Ind V Aus as THE rivalry irrespective of the strength of the sides. If the 2001 series set it up in terms of the quality of cricket, 2008 series set it up in terms of fan frenzy.

I don’t think I’ve ever said anything other than India got some shockers in that test, but the enduring memory of it is they behaved like petulant and selectively deaf children. Particularly Kumble and Tendulkar. You can tell they both learned the art of the victim complex at the knee of Gavaskar, himself a horrible, racist arsehole full of double standards, who whinged about the brown man getting the rough end of the deal in that game, having himself called black men monkeys.
At the end of the day, they lost three wickets in the last over to michael clarke to lose it. And it couldn’t have happened to a better bunch of blokes.

that test was just insane
michael clarke the finger spinning destroyer in australia, symonds the un-giveoutable and irfan pathan opening the batting at perth(?). what a series.

India got shockers, but they turned a bad game from the umpires into some sort of global opression of the brown man or something ridiculous. BCCI of course piled in - never missing a chance to show how the richest body in the world area 'really' the victims. And of course, Harbhajan being extra racist and then denying it.
The tour (and the thread) left a bad taste in my mouth.

It gets overlooked just like 1999 Melbourne to be fair.
