    It would've been much better with some proper umpiring.

    Back on topic. Good to see a game go the distance. Pretty unexpected ending which was great. Good to see India put up a good fight as well.

    well done to our boys. a bit rough on india though, some very ordinary umpiring decisions going our way.

    call me old fashioned but i wish our team would be more sporting in their conduct. they're obviously a fantastically talented squad but due to their conduct, don't get as much respect as they should outside of australia. that's a shame.

    To all those complaining about umpiring, stop. If you think they are so bad you get out there and do it. The only reason armchair viewers even have a clue if something is a bad call is simply because the TV shows 450 replays from from 680 angles. These guys do a great job, of course they make mistakes, who doesn't? We seen 450 overs of cricket over 5 days, we seen 3 maybe 4 mistakes. That is not too bloody bad if you ask me. I guarantee each and every person who whines about decisions makes mistakes too. Next game could see it go against Australia like it has so many other times.

    It was a great game, quite entertaining.

    Exactly what was said by one of the commentators. They get 1 look at whats happening and some times it isnt from the best of views, they do the best with what theyve got.

    I think the next game is going to be extremely entertaining. India were so close today, they are gonna want to come out swingin'.

    Australia is just too good at cricket. Competitiors really need to step up to make the game interesting and challenging.

    I don't watch cricket if Australia looks like its going to win easily. But I do check from time to time because you never know how it turns in the end.

    Almost completely agree with you, Australia is that good it makes it boring to watch to because they always win. I find myself going for the opposition just to make it more interesting.
    I think thats why I enjoyed the test match because india put up a really good fight.

    I second that ^^^^^. If they didnt show replays we would'nt know.

    Aussies more sporting???? Anyone remember 4 WI fast bowlers sending down thunder bolts. We got hammered. It's simple what goes around comes around.

    We have been belted before now it's our turn to dish some out. And di**** thay do

    The Indian captain was just so disapointed at loosing after such a long bat. He said a few thing...... so what. I bet they turn up and have another go at us.

    Cricket - a Gentlmens game - but take no prisoners....

    if you ask me its typical India having a bitch cos they lost. Least favourite cricket side ever. Lose with dignity boys. And the racism, jeez louise. Hes got West Indian in him anyway whats up with that? That singh is a wanker. There is no room for racism in any sport.
