sorry Saurabh i posted my original 2 u by mistake....

anyway try and remember what i posted...

now i wasn't gunna reply due to another issue.. but i thought i will.

i think the 3rd umpire should have been called as i thought 1st yep he is gone.. then after
they showed the reply i thought mmmm i think he is ok... now a few things happened i
think shouldn't have... now the umpire asked ponting if he was out... this should not have
happened.. another ganguly stayed at his crease after been given out, now he stayed b4
given out thats fine now he stayed after he was given out that is decent....

anyway due to the close game and poor decisions made during the game this i think has
happened

anyway thats just my 20c worth
