Get over it. After all the decades of India being improperly treated by the ICC and London, they now have the financial clout to not be dictated to anymore. Good on em for acting when they suspect an injustice has occured.
it will hurt india iff they have those 2 events taken form them, they may have alot of money but they have even more people to feed.why should india be any diffrent to the rest of the cricket world and be able to make there own rules?

but getting over it is good advice and perhaps you should try it

We're going to need a new descriptive, "Storm in a teacup" doesn't do this justice. I nominate Fiery and Murali in a thimble.

And you can't know it was based solely on the word of one person against another's unless you were there, surely.
You're right, I'm just going on what has been said/speculated... which may well be totally wrong. You do agree though that - should this be the case - one guy's word against another is not good enough, right?

We still get cheated in hockey(the rule change such as offside and astro-turf and horrific umpiring ) but do not have clout there and in many sports.
It is not as if aussies are not using there clout in swimming and other olympic sports against so why should India not in cricket against injustice.(aussies have history of using clout unneccesarily also)
Btw, there is talk by one journalist that if Icc do not retry harbhajan case ,a no-confidence motion could be tabled against Malcom speed as he was the one who criticised proctor for not punishing yuvraj while not criticising ponting and lee for the same.

Oh! bucknor has done it before and he will continue to do that.
He has given absolute shockers 9-10 of them against India during his career that is why there is so much agitation against him in india.
9 or 10 "???
I guarantee he has given more than 9 or 10 poor decisions against Australians in his career.

Find me one Test umpire that has not be bagged by the Indian press and they can umpire all India's tests.
I will save you the time, they don;t exist.

One of the great fast bowlers has left the international arena yet his passing gets almost ignored in favour of this farce of a tour that is so degrading to the integrity of cricket. I know I'm a slightly biased kiwi but I find this fact very sad.

I think atm the whole situation is being painted as an Non-Asian v Asian thing by the Indian team, the thing is bad umpiring and officiating is what they should raising their voice against, but atm they are busy blaming the Australians.
Now every team is entitled to make appeals (and even dire one's at that) and Australians did that as well, but still its the umpire who needs to give the decisions and maintain order out there on the field (unfortunately the umpires failed on both fronts in this game), but why blame the Australians, they are no saints but neither is any other team in the world, if these decision would have gone India's way they won't have been too unhappy either!
As far as the referee listening to the word of the Australian players to frame Harbhajan is concerned, then again its Mike Procter's mistake that he framed Harbhajan on the just the word of Australian players, without having any conclusive evidence.
The other possibilty is the umpires might have spoken against Harbhajan, but they probably won't want to accept it publicly after all the controversy that has shaped up due to them!
Anyways we are seeing such an uproar about the Australian team's behaviour on field, but why didn't we such an action taken by India when English team were having a go at them recently and they even went on to the extent of throwing jelly-beans at them?

Got a link?
the BCCI has called for an immediate ban on the umpires and demanded that the three Test ban on Harbhajan should be revoked.
Sachin Tendulkar has sent a SMS to BCCI president Sharad Pawar, saying he was an eyewitness to the incident involving Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds and was present in the hearing in which the ban on Harbhajan was imposed. He said the ban was unjustified.

People in India. Not the cricket board. They have plenty of money. The actual people there don't.
