Shameful cricket

Cricket is known to be a gentlemens game. But the present Australian tour is a disgrace to the game. The conduct of umpires and the Austarlian cricketers including the captain of the team is disgusting, racist and shameful. They have brought bad name to their country and the game too. The unpires, Captain Ponting and few other players who gave false evidence should be sacked. India has shown exemplary conduct and did not loose cool. The decision to put ban on Bajji i.e Harbhajan Singh is most racist and can not be accepted. India should cancel the tour and call back the team. National honour is very important at this stage. Australia should be accordingly blacklisted from the cricketing countries. Their own players themselves are seriously finding fault with their team's conduct and want some players and Ponting tp be sacked forthwith. Australian press is up in arms against their players and Ponting. It appears the Umpires and the Australian team must have made some initial agreement to defeat India and this type of fixing can not be ruled out. Australian team is known for rash behaviour , tongue lashing and fad of white supremacy. Down with Australian umpires and the team including Ponting. The results of the two test matches should nullified. Conduct of umpires and Pontings role and behaviour of other players should be investigated by the Australian investigating agency and they should be booked accordingly.

The very fact that Harbhajan Singh has been permitted to continue to play matches pending enquiry by the commission presided by a Newzealand Judge speaks volumes of the episode. Umpire Buckner has been shown the door. Why not Benson? He is equlaly a culprit in engineering Indian defeat at sydney. This episode speaks about Australian arrogance on the field and plans to win by unfair means. It shows very poor sportsmanship by a leading cricketing country. More over Ponting is trying to justify the culture. What a shame? If this is the real culture of sledging, cheating in the game, playing with Australia serves no purpoose and India should stop playing with Australia and in fact international cricketing countries should refuse to play them for some period till they behave like gentlemen. Kumble correctly said that only one team played in true spirits. The judgement of Umpire in the hearing of Harbhakjan's case acted in a racist way and it was evident. It was against white and brown. Whites always speak truth as per the judge sitting in the chair. This brings back to the memory of colonial days when Indians were suspeneded to the trees or poles by neck or summarily shot for slightest crime or even without crime. Even Tarzan's serials reflect similar white behavior in African countries as depicted by Edgar Rice Burroughs. In fact India should have walked off the sydney field and it would have been a slap on the face of Pontings team and Australian cricket. But Kumble was more dignified, polished and balanced. Years ago, great littele master Sunil Gavaskar was aboout to withdraw from the game along with his mate when he was wrongly given out. But the team manager saved the situation. Probabaly it was Durrani. Slapping of an umpire by an Indian veteran cricketer in Australia indicates that Australian cricket behavior is not new. Their behavior should be condemned at all costs. There is no point in being goody goody to them. They should be shown the place and taught lesson too so that they behave in future. the Australian cricket team and other controlling umpires have insulted Indian honor and it is time the matter is taken at political level too and make point clear to them in a language which they understand.
Down with Australian Cricket and their Umpires and authorities.

Ricky ponting and his men goofed up th show
Only to win the game of cricket
Ethics have been deeply buried
In a deep hole near the batting wicket

Umpires have aided Ponting on the evil day
Buckner and Benson were the tricky guys of disrepute
These men have forgotten all the norms
And helped the home team with dubious acts on their flute

Winning the game was the only consideration
The team was ready to eat hay and grass
Sledging and chaeting was their main stay
And treated the indians as an ass

Better call it sinful cricket. That is more appropriate.

The Australian guys have chosen the sinful way
And won the game of cricket that they were sure to loose
Mighty Indians were cheated to the core
While Umpires put around Indians their sinful noose

Down with Buckner and Benson
Alos the ricky ponting who cheated the Kumbles team
They are ready to go to any extent
Cheating the opponents is their cherished ice cream
