world_cricket : Message: Re: [world_cricket] this is shameful by aussies and the umpires

Cricket lost the gentlemen spirit way back ... so i no longer agree with it ... its a competitive world now and players too are human like us .. and will try whatever to win ... although its not the right way but then for some it does not matter ...

The only aspect for me is that umpiring was shocking to say the least .. the elite panel is losing his credibility ... apart from Taufel and Dar to some extent I do not see any one else doing a good job ..

Not only have the umpires continued at work of giving bad decisions against India but even the aussies have lost the last bit of sportsmanship in the game left. They appealed when everyone in their heart knew dravid was no way near the ball and now clarke has claimed a catch which clearly bounced. I am afraid this is not cricket for me. This is a very very poor example and very bad ad for the game.

This is disgraceful..all 5 days we have been screwed again and again by both umpires on field and even the 3rd umpire..a game we deserved to win has been converted to a probable defeat by the 3 great gentlemen in white and some unsporting cricket.
