The cricketing world was left shocked after a series of controversial umpiring decisions and ‘unjust’ behaviour by the Australian players during the Sydney Test. It was followed by off-spinner Harbhajan Singh being banned for three Test matches for alleged racial abuse against Andrew Symonds. The ban came after an apparent one-sided hearing by match referee Mike Procter. Indian skipper Anil Kumble reacted by saying that "only one team played in the right spirits." The video clips clearly indicate that India were at the receiving end.
The BCCI has decided to appeal against the ICC verdict and has asked Team India not to proceed to Canberra.
The new revelations also indicate that Symonds had hurled abuses at Harbhajan Singh which instigated him. Team India is getting an unprecedented support from the Australian media. Former Australian cricketers have also criticised the behavior of the hosts during the Sydney Test.
The question now is-what is the BCCI still waiting for? Should the cricket governing body of India not call back players than just begging for justice from the ICC? India's honour is at stake and BCCI is still thinking of the millions of bucks. Don't be a silent spectator. Post your comments here.

Bad umpiring decisions is one thing.. But 'bad umpiring decisions obviously dictated by one of the team' is absolutely different. Sydney Test is scraped from record books and the two Umpires held accountable and removed from panel of Umpires This is the matter of self respect decision should be taken very carefully

No, but the decissions taken by the umpires against Indian players and in favour of Australia players are not digestable. Even the umpire Steve Bucknor always gave decissions against Indian teams. And the match refree decissions of banning 3 matches on Harbhajan Singh is injustice to the Harbhajan Singh. Even Symonds abused him and his whole team supported him. Brad Hogg also gave abused our captain Anil Kumble and no action have been taken against them. ICC is sleeping now and seeing Australian only as champions. Our BCCI should decide to abandon the Australian tour.

Yes, Indians should Abandan series and come back. Sydney test wast lost only Bcoz of wrong decisions given by the Umpires.. this is not for the first time SteveBucknor taking decisions against India...Next, Match Refree taking decision on BHAJEE for 3 test ban with out proper justice. This shows ICC Mindset on Asian countries specially on India.. we should come out of series and teach lesson for the Aussies who think that they r world champions... Every one will be world champions if they forget ETHICS
