Im sorry but the better team did win.
So why play, decide a date of the match and then at the end of the day announce the better team to be a winner and them the trophy.
A couple of bad upiring decisions in a match are understandable, because in the end they all even out, but so many bad decisions and all of them in fovor of one team?

^^ well they are not suppose to be biased, they are suppose to be neutral as per cricket rules
and thus since it can be proven otherwise that they were not, I will give them the benefit of the doubt
of course, if this was Pakistan and not India, then I would definitely say the umpires were biased :)
Why did he ask the fielder if the catch was taken or not. Why did he not consult the leg unpire and the 3rd umpire. It seemed as if the umpire was looking at his boss Ponting for approval.

that phenomena is known as "bad luck" :)
to you may be but consistently bad umpiring decisions at crucial junctures is called either incompetence or fix-up. Not bad luck.
The whole stadium heard Symonds bat except the umpire? that is not bad luck.

What a record Hayden has got - 28th test century in less than 100 tests.
Re: 2nd Test Australia vs. India at Sydney Jan 02-06 2008
It’s actually 29 in 93 tests
