Quote from Cricinfo :
"Things came to a head in August 2006 when he was at the center of a ball-tampering storm at the Oval when Pakistan forfeited a match for the first time in Test cricket's 129-year history and, in November, he was banned from umpiring by the ICC following pressure from the Asian bloc"

Cricketers reaction to India Australia Sydney test controversy
In "Second test at Sydney, " characters and game ethics in general is been questioned.
Here is the list of who said what about this growing controversy : I added my juice to the commentary.
"Border and Waugh blame cultural misunderstanding" -- blaming whom - team India or Australia ?
This after all Border-Gavaskar trophy and it is interesting that Allan Border, the former Australian captain said to Courier Mail "What we think is just routine banter they take offense at - it is straight-out cultural stuff,"
Steve Waugh Commented that sense of humor in Australia and India are, in his opinion, very different and that when Harbhajan Singh called Andrew Symonds a 'monkey' he may not have meant it as offensively as it was interpreted.
"Wasim Akram calls Australians - 'cry Babies' " -- Haa must be the old memories that ball tampering issue of Pak with Aus.
Adding to the fuel Akram reportedly said to Hindustan times "We did not behave like cry babies and drag it to the officials [...] They do it constantly and much more than anyone else. So how they can go out and complain about other teams, I don't know."
"Kapil Dev Calls Indian team most gentle cricket team" -- that is the reason I joined ICL
Talks to Hindustan times "It is surprising and unfair. The Indian team is one of the most gentle teams in the world."

"Tendulkar supports Bhaji and his innocence" -- No one talks about my splendid Sydney knock so I support ...
"Harbhajan is innocent and I can assure you on this," the text message from Tendulkar read.
"In this hour of crisis, the board should stand by him. I suggest we play in Perth only if the ban is lifted."

"Dickie Bird feels Bucknor should retire" -- oh yeah he beat my 66 tests record and I'm happy now that he gets this..
"When you get to that age... I have said to Steve, 'Don't go on too long, get out while you are still respected'. I think he has gone on too long," told Sky Sports.

"Ponting feels game played in good spirits" -- Good "Australian Cricket" spirits.
"I think the whole (Test) has been tainted a little bit by some of the events during and then after the game. Otherwise I think this actual game and the first Test in Melbourne, apart from the one issue which everyone knows about right at the moment, was played in very, very good spirits," Ponting told 'Channel Nine'.

"Sidhu hits ICC with the bat ..oops with his words"
Sidhu said: "I think this controversy has assumed a very large proportion.
"India could have ignored the umpiring decisions, which happen every day; India could have ignored the defeat on cricketing ability - that can happen every day; but India cannot ignore the slur of racism heaped on Harbhajan Singh without any concrete evidence.

"Greg Chappel feels better team won" - Say some thing new Mr. Ex India coach
Chappell said "these were human errors and the third umpire also could make mistake as technology available today is not foolproof."
"McGrath supports his team" -- supports Australian team so what ?
"Anil's a great guy and quite reserved so I find it quite surprising that he would come out and say that," McGrath said.
"From an Australian point of view, I know the way the guys play and I have total respect for every guy that pulls on a baggy green. The Australians play it hard and fair," the most successful paceman in Test history said.
"Sack Ponting, says Peter Roebuck" -- Did you say fire Ponting?
Roebuck writes: "Ricky Ponting must be sacked as captain of the Australian cricket team. If Cricket Australia cares a fig for the tattered reputation of our national team in our national sport, it will not for a moment longer tolerate the sort of arrogant and abrasive conduct seen from the captain and his senior players over the past few days. Beyond comparison it was the ugliest performance put up by an Australian side for 20 years. The only surprising part of it is that the Indians have not packed their bags and gone home. There is no justice for them in this country, nor any manners."

"Gavaskar calls Aussies Hypocrites " ..must be a typo...he calls himself a hypocrit.
To Start cricket he says - "Is it only when the Australians give it to somebody that what happens on the field, stays on the field?" Gavaskar fumed. "When they get it, has it got to be reported? It doesn't stay on the field."

India Australia 2nd test wrong umpiring decisions videos
Who is the man of the match for 2nd test Ind vs Aus - Steve Bucknor.
Let's look at two innings :
Second innings:
Dravid and Ganguly taken down illegally by umpires. Dravid hid his bat nicely under the pad and that did not convince Mr. Bucknor.
Ganguly's dismissal was judged after asking the players ? What ? Yes the Australian player ...This incident is lot lot better than comedy central stand up comedians shows.
First innings:
From 134 for 6 of Australia first innings to whopping 463 all out is made possible with some big umpiring goof-ups
Symonds score of 137 was possible becuase of poor umpiring decisions.
1) Andrew Symonds was caught by Dhoni off Ishant Sharma when on 30 - Bucknor decided he was not out.
2) Symonds again stumped by Dhoni off Kumble.
Ponting was lucky when Dhoni caught him behind the stumps
Rediff Quotes :
"I was very lucky. I was out when I was 30 and given not out," Symonds said.
Questions that were left unanswered :
Can't Symonds just walk off the field when he knows he was out ?
At age of 61, (Steve Bucknor's age) Is umpiring a correct profession ?
