SYDNEY Sunday, January 6, 2008
With the umpires hell bent upon AWARDING the current test
at Sydney to the home team, is there any point in playing on ?
Honestly, the Indian captain should have considered conceding
the match just as soon as Saurav Ganguly was given out after(!)
consultation with the fielder - Mr. Gavaskar is rightly fuming
from his position as a commentator, but does that help ?
And pray, with the ICC now headquartered in Dubai, why should
spectators not demand an immediate and "impartial" enquiry
into the BETTING ANGLE with a focus on the betting syndicate-
umpires' nexus or even the involvement of a few C-A and ICC
officials with the betting mafia ?
Certainly, there must be a whole lot of Betting Moolah that would
be currently riding on "Australia creating a New Record for Most
Consecutive Test Victories".
Why, oh! why must only the Asians and Africans be always forced
to come under the scanner ?
Talk of racial overtones ?
Sorry! I forgot momentarily that such accusations also are the
sole prerogative of the likes of Ponting, Symonds and Clarkes.
Please forgive me for my outburst -after all, it is ONLY a Game !
