the australians are only out if the ball is hitting middle stump
Of which Steve Waugh and Stuart MacGill's LBW decisions were not hitting middle stump.

Oh well - the theory was nice while it lasted.

Just count the favours that indians and australians
have got in this series and u will see why the indians will be
angry at the men in white
 
havinga go at the umpires are we? i think some people are just sore losers. just lets have a look at indias first innings. there were 5 close lbw calls a stumping and a runout. and in australias innings about 5 close lbw decisions and no dubious stumping or runout calls. Mate if your going to have a go at the umpires at least be consistent. i think overall india has benifited more from their calls than the aussies so GIVE THEM A BREAK. they are two of the best umps going around. so stop harpying on about this biast crap and focus on the real issue that is indias poor performance in the field

I didnt hear anyone whingeing during the Australian innings when Hayden got a bad call , Steve Waugh didnt play a shot but that dosent take away from the fact the ball would have missed the stumps by about 4 inches , MacGill also got a pretty scrathcy one.

Lets not whine about the umpires anymore , it works both ways:)
Where you watching the same match as me? MacGill's was as plumb as it gets :P . Infact even Agarkar was appealing as though it was a formality until he noticed that Bowden was not giving that he really appealed. Hitting on the back leg in front of the middle and if that isn't plumb then nothing is. Steve Waugh's out too. He padded away a google from Kumble that hit him just outside off stump. It was going to hit off. You can't argue with that one. Mind you , Waugh could have been out earlier too when he padded 2 deliveries. Both were close and could go either way and went Waugh's way. Hayden's was a good decision too. It pitched on off and turned back and hit him on off and was definately going to hit off. If was a 50-50 one and so you could not protest against that dismissal. He also had luck going his way when he missed a Kumble googly and it his back leg and was not going to miss the stumps but was not given . I am not suggesting that the umpires are biased but whenever the umpires are making mistakes , it is happening most of the times against India:( . The only time bad decisions in favour of India were i think , Chopra bat pad not being given in the second test and Sehwag two times in the third test in first innings.

India have got to bat the whole day tomorrow for the loss of not more that 4-5 wickets and try to get a lead of around 130 runs. It is test of the ability of the Indian batsman on that waring pitch but i am confident they will do well :cool2:
 
Pontings one of the most exciting cricketers going round is you want boring then, laxmans 19 off like 80 balls, akash copra in every innings he plays and anil kumbles bowling. after watching 10 overs of him bowling you start getting sleepy let a lone after 51

I bet all the bowlers around the world are wishing that Ponting would get a divorce because since he has been married he has been unstoppable.
