India versus Australia Cricket - 2nd Cricket Test 2007

Not sure if you are aware of all the sour incidents that marred the 2nd Cricket Test between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in January 2008. This was the first test of the year for both the teams. The rivalry between the teams is very deep, such that any bad decision on part of the players or the umpires can have a negative effect on the game.

This is what has happened. Australia have played HARD cricket but were not close to FAIR as they claim to do every game.

Some of the links that you should read to get the context:
Tour at risk after Harbhajan ban

India fume at Aussies and umpires

India livid, tour in danger

'Kumble and Co. have been cheated'

The waiting game begins for visitors

We are not sorry about anything: Gilchrist

Board backs team, says stay put in Sydney

Mighty Aussies get bad press, few supporters

Open your eyes, Ricky

Board firm: Tour off if demands not met

Sack Ponting, he turned his cricketers into wild dogs, says Roebuck of Oz

Time to go, says Bucknor’s old mate

I stand by my decision, says Procter

Death of cricket!!Umpires win the match for Australia!!
