  • India v Australia Test Series.

    India looked to be holding out for a draw, but ended up collapsing with less than 10 minutes remaining on the final day. Australia now have 16 successive test wins dating back to 2005.

    Some of the Indian wickets today looked very dubious. India are appealing against the umpires in charge. For me the worst decision was on the first day when Andrew Symonds should have been given out far 30 odd in the first innings and went on to to make 160.

    Some of the replays you see them and just can't understand how they have gone the way they have. To me, this result looks very suspect especially when there is a TV umpire in place who should have had been looking at.. at least two of the wickets today.

    Finally there is also an alleged case of racism against Harb. Singh.

        To be fair though Ponting shouldn't have been given out in Australia's first innings yet they aren't complaining about that.

        The alleged racism is a joke too if neither of the umpires heard it. How can the aussies complain about this yet they get away with hell of a lot in terms of sledging.

          Singh apparently called Symonds a 'monkey'. Is that really racist?

          Maybe I should go and join the BNP but I don't see this as a racist insult. It just seems like light-hearted banter that has been taken far too seriously. Is there a difference between calling someone a monkey and calling some a Blue Whale or a horse?

          It's politcal correctness gone mad.

            Totally agree and it's such a shame that the Aussies seem to enjoy giving it out but complain when they get it back!
