One more victory for Australia at the SCG. Record equalling they call it. Did India lose the match really? Or were they made to lose it? It is no secret that the Aussies do not like any other team dominating them. And they have shown at the SCG that they do not mind even resorting to cheating to have a win against their name. After all, the record book does not have space for qualitative measures like honesty and fairplay.
One Australian I respected was Adam Gilchrist. But by your appeal against Dravid when the ball clearly did not even touch the bat, I am afraid Mr. Gilchrist, you have lost my respect.
First of all, it is difficult to win against Australia - in Australia or away. And when you have not less than 8 decisions going against you, there could have been only one result. An Australian win.
At the end of the Sydney test, I truly believe that only 11 men out of the 24 people who took the field deserved to hold their heads high. And those heads belonged to the Indians.
I am sorry Australia. Record books might show you won. But in a true cricket lover's book, you lost big time.
