@casanova .

had the ICC found that gilly was using squash balls while the match was in progress, they would have asked him to replace it as in dhoni's case


btw, symonds says he was only appreciating ishant . he said " Well bowled champ" and ishant misunderstood it and thought that symonds was doing what he does best

There is/was no rule for squash ball inside the gloves! However, dhonis gloves were against the ICC rules hence they asked him to change it!

^^Though no rule is there but had it been any player of the subcontinent rule must have been made just then.

Remember India's tour of West Indies? When their was controversy regarding whether Dhoni was caught at the fence or not(the video recording was inconclusive) a new rule was made that in case of doubt , fielder's take would be final

 

[Vyasram]

^^no, there was actually no such rule

when that catch was taken , there was total confusion as the umpires hesitated to do anything. then lara came and told dhoni that his players won't lie and that dhoni can trust his opponents' words. dhoni agreed and departed like a good sportsman

 

[casanova]

It was shown during third test that Gilly used a squah ball and the commentator narrated the wc2007 finals incident as well. It was good for India that Adam did not bomb with squash ball like in wc2007 finals.

Symmonds first reaction was shown and then Ishant reacted and suddenly got furious. Symmonds was not captured between that

A rule was made that in case of doubt fielder's say would be final but otherwise the rule is that the benefit of doubt goes to the batsman. At that time Dhoni spent about 10 minutes in the middle to see what is the final decision of umpires

ishant sharma deserved it.When ever india plays against aussie or any team there will be always some problem be it indian cricketer or indian media.

^^Even Australian people are saying that there team is not playing in the spirit of game and you are saying there is nothing wrong with them. Most probably he was provoked by Symonds. If Ponting,Mcgrath or Symonds do it, its right but if its a player for India, SriLanka or Pak its a breach of icc rules.

Symonds is a cheeky little fellow !!! i mean literally he must have said " well bowled mate " ishant might not understood English , and with symonds previous history, he thought he abused him and made him to do provocative action ........ great trick

 

[ancientrites]

I am sure bhajji had called him(symonds) monkey.

I cant stomach one thing, with all these flare-ups and one-sided punishments, what the hell are Shastri & Gavaskar doing!! they just blurt out some opinions and pack their bags!!! Shameless ones!!!
At least Gavaskar could have iniated some actions against the culprits as he has some higher post in the ICC. Cant he?
The Match Referee is such an biased fellow that he saw what Sharma did but failed to see Symonds'. Maybe the directors have to send him a footage personally. Both the players should have been pulled-up and not just one!!!
Damn these BCCI donkeys, they cant uphold their own players honour.
Pawar just want the support of CA for the post of the President of ICC, that explains the lack of any concrete steps by BCCI.
