Aussie cheating machine continues to work - umpire Mark Benson denied India their third wicket of the morning session – Ponting was out!

Shame on Australia! Shame on Australian cricket! Shame on Ponting the cheat master of world cricket. Ponting was on 17, when umpire Benson seemed to have made a big deliberate mistake. It takes a few decisions like this to win the game.

The Indian bowlers, led by RP Singh bowled superbly through the first hour, maintaining a consistent and nagging line and length. Australia started feeling the Indian bombardment. India quickly captured two wickets and was ready to take revenge for the first test. But there came Australia’s secret weapon – the deliberate favoritism of the umpires.

Australia was at 27/2 when Hayden fell. Michael Hussey then joined skipper Ricky Ponting as the pair looked to consolidate after the loss of the two early wickets. Ponting was absolutely lucky to survive a certain caught behind appeal from Sourav Ganguly as the ball took a meaty edge going down the leg side to wicketkeeper Dhoni. Television replays confirmed the edge and it looked as if umpire Mark Benson denied India their third wicket of the morning session. At the end of the day Aussie cheating paid off. Aussies ended with 376 for 7 and Andrew Symonds not out 137.
