Australia cheated again but failed yet again In World Cup 2011
ICC Took care of Australians as usual and they didn't ban 3 chuckers mentioned earlier (Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson, Shaun Tait).
But When The Time Came, they even tried to bully umpires as we saw Ponting's dismissal in the match against Pakistan, thick edge but umpire turned it down and then Ricky Ponting stayed at the crease and pretended as he didn't nick it but when Pakistanis referred it to third umpire, there was a clear evidence of outside edge off the bat and so the 3rd umpire gave a fair enough decision and ruled Ponting out.
Cricinfo On Ponting' Dismissal:
Mohammad Hafeez to Ponting, OUT, gone! Akmal has held a very good catch and Ponting has to go! Things really bubbling over here. Ponting went back to cut a ball which wasn't really there for it, got a thick edge that Akmal did well to hold. It was given not out originally, but rightly was overturned on review. While waiting for the third umpire to confirm the edge there was some verbal exchanges though between Haddin and the Pakistan fielders and plenty of chat as Ponting was sent on his way
In the QF Match Against India, Umpires as usual were reluctant to give LBW decisions as a result Ponting went on to make a hundred that was also a expected result of his umpire's domination when India had no review left but wondering why such plumb shout were turned down even when Australians had two reviews left and India had none, dodgy umpiring added a few 10-15 more runs to Australian Total so they got 260+ which wasn't an easily achievable total and now Indians need a team effort and every had to contribute but umpires tried there best as we saw how shockingly Sachin was given out off a backfoot no-ball in a crunching situation of the game where he was looking solid after scoring a fifty but surprisingly it probably the first time i saw on-field umpire referring to third umpire for no-ball checking and usually if umpires had a doubt he should have given it as a no-ball because as they say, Batsman gets the benifit of doubt but that was a big back-foot no-ball, just wondering do these racist umpires even these know the rules of cricket but India still easily kicked the sorry butts of the World Cheaters and shown them their way.

This is What Cricinfo Says About Sachin's Dismissal:
Tait to Tendulkar, OUT, Sachin is gone, or is he, is that a back foot no-ball, it was a length ball outside off stump, and he nibbled it on its way to Haddin, it was very close to being a no-ball, but Tait got away with it, he hadn't grounded the back heel on the line, Sachin has to walk back
Glenn Mcgrath Bowling Action Was Dubious and Suspicious: Matthews
Former Australian Test spinner Greg Matthews has made the stunning claim that Glenn McGrath threw the ball during his career.
McGrath – who starred with the ball in a one-off charity Twenty20 match against the current Australian lineup last weekend – was one of several Test bowlers who occasionally "chucked", according to Matthews, who also claimed Muttiah Muralitharan’s doosra was "impossible" to bowl with a straight arm.
"Tim May informed me that he went with Michael Holding, Ian Botham and two other gentlemen to an ICC function where they looked at all bowling actions from around the globe. Tim came back from that meeting and told me that Glenn McGrath throws occasionally," Matthews told BigPond Sports Weekend.
"It's impossible to have an absolutely perpendicular arm when you're delivering the cricket ball so they made a rule to allow for fifteen degrees but I can’t say why."
Controversial Sri Lankan star Muralitharan has defended himself from chucking claims by arguing he could not physically straighten his arm – a claim Matthews also denies.
"There is footage of Muralitharan bowling in the practice nets at Lords where he’s bowling medium pace and has a dead straight arm, I've seen it," he said.
"You can’t bowl a doosra or a top spinner with a straight arm – it’s impossible."
But the former off-spinner refused to identify any current Australian players with dubious actions, saying: "No, I'm not going to give up any Australians."
