Indian players restive over conditions afforded to Aussies.

• India's players have vented their frustrations over the immaculate facilities being afforded to the Australian team.
  

The home nation has grown increasingly restless over the comfort in which the tourists have been allowed to practice by the Rajasthan Cricket Association, who opened up its new academy for use following the intervention of their adviser and now Australian team attache Greg Chappell.
In addition to the generous variety of pitches prepared to Chappell's order, the Australians have also been supplied with willing net bowlers and training grounds the equal of anything they might have utilised at home.
Looking on from Vadodara, where they are engaged in a Delhi versus the Rest of India match for their Irani Cup, Indian player grumbles have become strong enough to surface in the local press yesterday.
"There's a limit to playing friendly hosts - this is the Australians we're facing," an unnamed player told the Hindustan Times.
"Have they (the Rajasthan officials) forgotten Sydney?
"It's a battle and we are giving away battle plans and handing them the advantage gift-wrapped. And the board officials are too busy to care."
The foul-tempered Sydney Test, won in dramatic fashion by Australia with the help of poor umpiring, still rankles strongly with the Indian team and public.
Australia's series victory was built on that match and also a comfortable win in the first Test in Melbourne, after the Indians gave themselves only a week in which to prepare.

Indian players in sooking surprise.

The good old unnamed player as a source. Noice.

Methinks it's the ultra-sooky Indian press doing the stirring. The same farkers who applauded when Jumbo cried like a baby after the Sydney Test about "only one team out there playing in the spirit of the game". Bwahahahahaha.

Well if they're officials weren't knee deep in litigation of their own making, and....

Indians complaining about poor umpiring.

Chortle.

You could also argue if the BCCI hadn't been vehement in defending Pakistan's right to stage this year's CT that we wouldn't even be in India at this stage.

Bit like Aussies complaining of racism. Chortle.

The Subis drew first blood in the complaints dept.

Stones, glass houses anyone. Plus the only incident of note from an Oz point of view in the last five years the guy apologised, was censured by his own board and copped a ban on the chin.

When the same complaint was levelled and proven against an Indian the BCCI just stopped short of a calling for the launch codes.

And did anyone else read the thread as "Indian players festive..." at first glance??

I'm sure your version of 'proof' fits in with Australian 'justice'. You've had a decades of practice with your 'natives'.

And you've had how long with your less fortunate bretheren and minority ethnic groups?

Good Lord. Indian sooking about comfy Aussie accommodation has morphed into Indian sooking about Australian treatment of our indigenous.

FB, ya gotta love it.

Horrid treatment, agree thoroughly. And despite some whacko Oz historians out there, that treatment as far as I'm concerned, is thoroughly proven through historical and verbal records which is not an easy thing to do.

The proof I'm talking about in regards to racist comments used on or at a sporting field as rejected by the BCCI leads me to think that if the BCCI were right I should ask for a refund on my TV, VCR, and certainly science should start doubting the validity of the electron.
