India is now speaking the power of money and nothing else. Team has been blatantly given out and biased even in the past.
Australia lost the Ashes in 2005 after almost 2 decades with some shocking decisions where almost 80 to 90% went against them. They never complained. I believe for Australia ashes is more important series than anything else.
India themselves have a history of bad umpiring. Who can forget the 10 wickets taken by Anil Kumble in Delhi. Many experts says that kumble owe largly to umpire Jayaprakash. Similarly when Harbhajan took a hattrick in kolkata against Australia to win and late the seires on Sydney herald newspaper wrote "Umpire took the hatrick".
Banning umpire have started a dangerous precedence. I don't think Australia have done anything wrong in appealing. Every player is entitled to appealing that doesn't make anybody as a cheat.
