Incident of Sidney Test and what will be the Perth (3rd) Test!

During the 2^nd Test, the unexpected incident with Harbhajan Singh-Symonds and the wrong decision of the two umpires makes doubt in Perth Test(3rd). BCCI commanded to Indian Team not to shift Perth.

Australia has achieved 16 continuous test matches wining record by wining the 2^nd test against India at Sydney cricket ground on Wednesday. And this match even this test series will be memorable for umpire Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson’s wrong decision towards India. After the playing of 4^th day, it was being considered that the 2^nd test Between India vs Australia is going to draw definitely. But, at last, it was seen that Australia won by 122 runs. Becoming such as, the main reason possibly the wrong decision of the umpires. In this series, especially in the 2^nd test, the umpires took at least 10 wrong decisions, those all was gone against India remaining one.

The same incident happened in the fist test. In the 2^nd test, Indian first innings, when India came back in their as usual batting style then Australia fell in thought. That innings Sachin Tendulkar did unbeaten 154 runs and VVS Laxman took 123 runs even 9^th batsman spinner Harbhajan Singh took 67 runs, which was intolerable for Aussies specially, for Andrew Symonds. The out of Rahul Drabid and Sourav Ganguly were obviously wrong. In Australian first innings, when Andrew Symonds was on 48, then he was stamping by Dhoni. The umpire Steve Bucknor declared him not out. In that match, there has been taken a protest against Harbhajan Singh for saying ‘monkey’ to Andrew Symonds. However, Harbhajan has refused this objection. And the umpires also didn’t hear this word. After all, after finishing the 2^nd test, the match referee ‘Mike Proctor’ suspended Harbhajan Singh for 3 test matches under ICC three-level regulation. Indian cricket board ‘BCCI’ has applied against Harbhajan’s suspension near ICC. Along with, BCCI has ordered to Indian team to stay at Sydney and the board has taken the decision to reject Australia tour until next hearing. The hearing will be in this current week about the affair of Harbhajan Singh. At present, Indian cricket team has postponed their tour.

On the other hand Indian skipper Anil Kumble has taken opposite complain against Brad Hug to revile him. And BCCI has informed it to ICC. BCCI has also appealed near ICC not to umpiring with Bucknor and Mark Benson in next test match. But ICC has appointed again Steve Bucknor. They have said that any country couldn’t decision about umpire that who will maintain match.

The Indian cricket fans have staged protest and burned Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson’s picture and effigy. So, Indian tour has become under trained.

Twenty20 World Cup Championship 2007: Australia vs Zimbabwe and Andrew Symonds

Second day of the Twenty20 World Cup Championship 2007, world champion Australia and Zimbabwe will play at 12 September 2007 at Cape Town. There not doubt that Andrew Symonds is one of the best player of ODI and Test. In his International Twenty20 career his achievement is Pld:4 Ave: 62.50 HS: 54* Wkts: 7 Ave: 13.85 Best: 2/14. So, it is one of he positive side of Australia team among others.

David Lloyd has written that probably the best one-day cricketer in the world. He will field like a demon - nothing gets past him in the covers.

He is always worth a couple of wickets with his mixture of seam-up, little away-swingers, slower-balls and off-cutters. He is an under-rated bowler in one-day cricket.

And when he has a bat in his hands there isn't a cricket ground big enough for him. He is the complete Twenty20 cricketer. He is a colossus is that lad.
