India lost 2nd Test against Umpires

I have never seen a test match more talked or written not for cricket but out of cricket things. By the time I am publishing this post India has already lost the test match which they played against umpires.

Australians didn't did anything in this test match other then enjoying the favours which served the test match to them. Still we would like to thank them to let match go the fifth and almost to the last over.

You can see few stats to iron my post title:

Symondes got out on 30 in first inning ( 30 - 162 = -132 runs Australia)

We should stop deducting the runs of Australian team from Symondes kitty as he also got out twice next day.

Ponting got out on 17 in first inning ( 17 -55 = -38 runs Australia).

Can you see the difference of 170 runs above? I see Australia loose the match as per these or result of test match could have been different.

Steve Backnor and Benson done what most of peoples might consider as unfair to Indian team. The most shocking was the partiality shown by these towards the Indians, today one appeal of caught was referred to the third umpire and two days earlier nothing was referred when Dhoni had a very strong case of stump against Symondes. Benson went too far by asking the Australian player about the catch of Ganguly on last day and didn't think of referring to third umpire.

Backnor specially done terrible mistakes which is for sure a case of lost concentration, he is a veteran of over 120 test matches in the time span of over 15 years. Surely time has come for him to hung his shoes and take rest, otherwise this is not the first time that fingers have been raised over this decision making ability. Everyone know that he is a kind person but no one like him to decide the result of test matches.

Though Indian official are thinking about launching an official complaints against umpires but as always they not going to take this far away and will wait till Indian fans shrink this into their memory.

In post match press conference Ricky Ponting got hot when asked about the question about the fair play by Australian players, why is that Ricky?

This match will go down in my memory as the match lost to umpires by Indian and I definitely like to forget this asap of course this curse of umpires in this match going to be historic and when ever there is any debate on umpires people will remember this one.
