UMPIRING FOLLIES 8:1 AGAINST INDIA
& this is how Australia won the match.
Umpire Mark Benson fails to give Ponting out, caught down leg side by Dhoni off Ganguly. Ponting’s score 17 (Oz: 45/2). Ponting made 55
Benson rules Ponting leg before wicket to Harbhajan when he had got an inside edge onto his pads (Side’s score then is 119/3)
Steve Bucknor
rules Symonds not out despite the batsman getting a thick edge off Ishant. Symonds’ score 30 (Oz: 193/6). Symonds goes on to make 162 not out
Third ump Oxenford read replays incorrectly, gives Symonds benefit of doubt. His foot was off the ground when Dhoni stumped him off Kumble. Symonds’ score: 48 (side’s score 238/6)
Bucknor
fails to refer a stumping appeal by Dhoni against Symonds off Kumble to the third umpire. Symonds’ score: 148 (Side’s score 421/6)
Umpire fails to spot Brett Lee overstepping the crease while delivering the ball that bowled Jaffer (Side’s score at that point: 8 for no loss)
Benson
turns down R P Singh’s appeal for a caught-behind dismissal against Mike Hussey when the batsman is on 45 (Side’s score is 188/2)
Bucknor rules Dravid caught behind off Symonds when the ball has clearly gone off the batsman’s pad. Dravid is on 38 (Side’s score 115/3)
Benson
rules Ganguly out after consulting Ponting. Ganguly was on 51 (Side’s score 137/6). Replays indicate Clarke had not taken catch cleanly

Realy.. coincidences are always with anyone but Australia
[img_assist|nid=60386|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
and these so called "coincidences" always seem to happen against away teams in australia. maybe its jus another coincidence!

Coincidances are not repeated by all players and by all the umpires in a single match.
Think of it being neutral and you will know it.
