What's Happening to CRICKET ? (in Sydney)

With the umpires hell bent upon AWARDING the current test-match
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 the
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 ?
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 !!
