Aussies get all the help they need

I am angry today.....India did not lose this SCG test, they had it stolen. I'm reckoning on the Aussies getting 200 more runs in their 1st innings than they actually deserved courtesy of that Symonds stinker from Steve Bucknor and the ridiculous 3rd umpire stumping decision. Beating Ricky Ponting's team in Australia is hard enough without the ball always bouncing in their favour. The reality is that far from losing the game with an over to spare on the last day, India would probably have been winning never mind drawing it if the umpiring had been at all competent. Symonds' admission afterwards that he did indeed edge Ishant Sharma to Dhoni when on 30 combined with Ponting's team equalling the world record of 16 consecutive test wins makes swallowing the pill a very bitter experience. Fair Dinkum? I don't think so.
