Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[sydneybluesfan]

Well as I suspected, the controversy really did start with Kohli's dismissal!

I think I've used this term before, but the smeller is the fella!

Otherwise the Indian complaints are all smoke and mirrors, covering up their attempts to influence officials and alter key decisions in the game. I wouldn't be surprised to find them playing the race card again!

Maybe CA can send Mick Gatto?

Of course it's all smoke and mirrors. You only had to listen to the 3rd umpire as he explained the decision very clearly. There was nothing controversial about the decision at all - there was no proof he definitely hit the ball first, so the umpires decision stands. Which part of that is complicated to understand.

What annoys me is no one calls them out on their antics. Kholi claimed Australia twice looked to the dressing room while he was batting and called Smith a cheat. But India have provided no proof of this very serious allegation, but there is no sanction from the ICC.

The umps are piss weak and running scared they will be vetoed by the Indians if they try to put a stop to their on field games. It's part of a concerted effort to assert maximum pressure on the officials to get favourable outcomes within the match.
