We're not sorry: Aus vice captain

Sydney, January 7:: Australia vice captain Adam Gilchrist has dismissed Indian captain Anil Kumble's criticism about the lack of sportsman spirit among the hosts and said his teammates don't regret their behaviour in the Sydney Test.

"Though I have not seen his comments or heard him, but that's what I have been told about. I think that's not right," an unrepentant Gilchrist said.

"Definitely we don't feel so and we are not sorry about anything. I do not know what he is referring to," Gilchrist told CNN-IBN.

Enraged over the on-field antics of the Aussies, Kumble, had earlier said that only one team was playing in the true spirit of the game.

The match which gave the Australia a record equaling 16th straight Test win was marred by poor umpiring and ugly on-field spat between the two sides.

India bore the brunt of umpiring blunders by Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson and the dubious dismissals of Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly on the last day cost them the match.

Gilchrist, however, was not ready to dwell on the controversies and preferred to savour the thrilling win.

"We obviously enjoyed the end result. Both the teams at any point of time in the game could say they have the upper hand and the other time forth back.

"So it's topsy-turvy and we just grabbed it from the jaws of the draw I guess. At the end it was thrill. At some of the controversial ground, there was lot of talking points but yeah look we got through," he said.

The Aussie Bandwagon

Well the unrepentant attitude of the aussies reeks and it shows that they will stoop to any level to maintain their win record and continue to play mind games with the opposition to win The 'blind umpires' also seem happy dancing to the aussie tune blissfully to help them in their cause. The BCCI should wake up for once and show some mettle in calling off the tour unless Bhajji is cleared.

I have read this news in today's newspapers. Gilchrist defends his team's behaviour and says that Australians are not sorry. He is wrong. To admit a mistake and to say sorry, one needs a very strong character. Peter Roebuck has written that Ricky Ponting has turned a group of professional cricketers into a pack of wild dogs.Can one expect an apology from Australians now?

How bizarre! Symonds gets insulted, in India and in Australia, and HE should be banned. India should abandon the tour and only play Bangladesh from now on. They'd probably still find something to whine about.

Gilchrist

The gentleman title for Adam Gilchrist who was considered a 'walker' is no long longer valid. Its plain chaeting by him to have claimed the catch of Rahul Dravid in the second innings of the SCG. Australia's one aim was to somehow achieve their 16 wins in a row and thy were ready to stoop down to any level. The umpires on their part also played well into this Aussie thinking and successfully supported them.Team India should act tough and immidiately abandon the tour to checkmate the on field Aussie behaviour.
