Re: 2nd Test Australia vs. India at Sydney Jan 02-06 2008
Even if it was not for the record, who’s to say Australians wouldn’t have done it either way? Or anyone else for that matter? Wouldn’t other teams have at least appealed, like they did? The broader responsibility lies on the shoulders of the umpires. Third umpire should have intervened regardless of the decision of on-field umpires. The power has been misused so badly now, it is a typical day in the life of cricket.
