wow. look all teams try and sneak "suspectable" outs by, its part of the game. Im sure it used to be a lot worse back in the days before the 3rd umpire and multiple tv angles.

Nice use of words big guy.
Got a feeling the Aussies will win, i dunno what it is, it's just all come together for a fairytale ending. breaking the record for wins, nearly setting a new record to chase
Fingers crossed.

looks like something else thats going to get blown way out of proportion and cause another huge media scene.
Still sucks that we lost, but hey now they can forget about the pressure of winning the games in a row. But what is it with these teams that come here, they play badly and get all their selections wrong for the first few tests and then by the final one they get it all together. England were the same last time they played here and India were the same this tour.

looks like something else thats going to get blown way out of proportion and cause another huge media scene. lol catty (can i call you catty?) (if monkey mates was intended as racist.. you are an absolute dumb fuck). well done simon. it could be anything. A bit of harbhajans sweet sweat as rogers was about to go out quickly.. and everyone knows ponting cant play him.. so maybe thats what it was.. so could be that. or could be lollies which players eat on the field. Maybe he caught a kiss that was blown accross to him from his VVSs girlfriend to pass onto him so he felt loved on the field. Who cares.. you're bitter you lost.. so you want to beleive you lost to a team of cheats. believe it if it makes you happy. Although you do kinda sound like lil llyeton hewit each time he loses.. sore ancle.. felt sick.. (you are shit.. get over it man!) But what is it with these teams that come here, they play badly and get all their selections wrong for the first few tests and then by the final one they get it all together. England were the same last time they played here and India were the same this tour. ouch. simon. you cant be serious?! go back and read the last couple of pages. I'm hopin that comment was just to make everyone happy! I thought only josh would be thinking that australia deserved to win the sydney game! i just read some of the reviews below the video.. "Given the dodgy LBW against Hussey and Symonds which effectively ruined our chances perhaps we should threaten the ICC about abandoning the tour and request a change of umpires. Ohhh, wait - we're Aussies, and we cop it on the chin rather than *** and moan. Pay attention India..." I cant believe how fucking biased some stupid ***** **** **** **** wankers can be!!!!!!!!!!! AUSTRALIA ALWAYS BITCHES AND MOANS YOU ****** ***** **** **** *** *****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do yopu even watch the australian team?!

Call me catty, I just hate the large racist views in the media ... and sadly in society to. How many time would a runner bring something out to Ponting and it would go unnoticed.
Scott, Im in the view that sure there were a few bad calls against India, but you say it came down to that and that alone. They didn't play well at times in those tests, there were bad fielding mistakes, drop catches, poor batting ... it just wasn't those few calls that went against them. Australia played well, Symonds batted his ass off to save the game.
But the Perth test, India simply played better - hands down. No bad calls against them, but it just wasn't because of the lack of bad calls, they batted well, fielded well and finally got their game together.

lol, i said catty cos i couldnt be arsed typing catdemogogery... (and clearly 'dumb fuck' wasnt directed at you either) ... Not cos i wanted to start a cat fight or something ;D
this series no team has fielded brilliantly. both teams have had multiple wickets on no balls, both teams have dropped catches.. so i wouldnt say either team has stood out in the field.
And really.. symonds shouldnt have been able to bat his arse off in sydney if he was given out when he should ahve been out! And i would say india still had some ball calls in perth. Most lbw's (regardless of the team.. looked to be going over)
i dont know what your talking about with ponting and runners.. i had to read most of the time updates online cos i was at work.. but your comment really did make the racism sound one sided. i just reckon sledging has gone too far in cricket.. which got out of hand by the australians a few years ago and hasnt looked abck since.
I really cant stand racists either.. i just find that the majority of people in this country are racists... especially having been around most of europe. even the majority of my extended family in australia are racists

But yeah, like Im sure many times a 12th man/runner/team official has brought something down to a player before they go onto the field they may have forgotten. Its just sad when a "news" publication tries to make it something more than it is ... its so Today Tonight or A Current Affair.

Well done to India, a well deserved win
Good to see Mitch Johnson get amongst the run and provide a little wag in the tail, as a proud South Aussie, it was dissappointing to see Tait struggle so much. He was underdone, but surely he will be carrying the drinks next test. Hopefully he can show something in the one day series because he is deadly when in form.

Well the past few One day internationals have been a bit of a fizzle. One due to the rain and what was last night all about? Sri Lanka didn't even meet half of our the Australian's score. Dammit I was all set up for a big night of cricket and ... nothing.

Shocking, even most of the wickets were just odd or non events. What was Malinga doing not grounding his bat correctly?
I thought Sri Lanka would have given that a shake but with Jayasuria making 7, it was always going to be tought, Sangakarra was their big hope and once he was gone, they were screwed.
Who else loves to watch Murali bat?
Oh congrats to Bracken too, well deserved 5 wickets.

Oh and what about Murali's fielding with the ball whacking him in the tooth - ouch!
