India suspend Australia tour

The Indian Cricket Board has decided to call a halt to the team's tour of Australia in order to proceed with their appeal over Harbhajan Singh's three-match ban. Before this BCCI has asked the ICC to change the umpire for then next match but ICC gone against the request of BCCI. ICC officially announced that Buckner will be the umpire in the next match. This raised the volume of protest in BCCI and BCCI chief decided to call of the Tour.
India were due to fly to Canberra for the third Test against Australia but will now remain in Sydney after Harbhajan was banned by match referee Mike Procter for racial abuse towards Australia's Andrew Symonds. The decision has come after the legendary Sachin Tendulker said that Harbhajan had not said any thing like that by Mike Procter gone with Symonds and Clark words and considering only these proof he given this punishment to Harbhajan which is totally one sided decision.


The tourists launched an appeal against the ban and will stay in Sydney in order to obtain a copy of Procter's order, which explains what the racism charges are. "The team will not leave Sydney and move to Canberra as planned today," said a spokesman for the Indian cricket team. "The Team will wait for further instructions from the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India)." Here I would like to say that Indian team should return back immediately and should start a campaign against ICC monopoly and favoring Australia. They should also give explanation why umpire had asked pointing for a decision to give out Sourav Ganguly.
India narrowly lost the controversial second Test against Australia on Sunday and is now trailing 2-0 in the series. Meanwhile, former Australia bowler Glenn McGrath has defended Test captain Ricky Ponting's integrity following accusations from Indian captain Anil Kumble that Australia had failed to conduct themselves in the correct manner. "If they want to look at his integrity you only have to look at that first innings [when Ponting recalled Rahul Dravid, because he was unsure if he had held a tough chance at second slip]," said McGrath. But I thing The Great McGrath has forgot Symonds who stayed on the wicket after being out three time in same match.

Now BCCI is going in right direction this what they should have done a long time before. Taking this kind of this easy could cost us in big way in future. I can remember when umpire called murlidharan chukker it was Arujna Ranatunga who lead his team out of the ground. This given a boost of confidence to murli and see today he is the best bowler in the world of cricket. We should also support our player in same way.

Keep up the flame burning BCCI. Don’t bow Down against the wrong thing.
