In the eyes of the MCC it's a forfeit but officially according to the ICC it is still a draw.

That would have been it. I remember reading something in the last week. I must have read it wrong. Cheers for that.

Interesting thought, the Indians play him after being suspended and he walks out to open the batting and the Aussies walk off in protest, that would really throw the cat amongst Bill Lawry's pigeons and probably cause a huge riot

You can guarantee if that happened, the ICC would have no hesitation in awarding the match to India.

Sad but true.

And .. you can guarantee Peter Roebuck would write a piece slamming the Australians (especially Ponting) for taking matters into their own hands, and yet praising the Indians for having the courage to stand up for what they believe to be an injustice.

Sucked in Gambhir!

Again, sad but true.

It won't surprise any Australian (or English and N.Z fan) if Gambhir plays under suspension; I would hope that would fire our players up and get some resolve into them to win the Test.

And funny thing is, all the Indians say the same thing about our bully tactics - "Watson should get the same penalty, he provoked him"; "Katich should be punished" (for a seperate incident, mind you); "Double standards for Asian players" etc.

Nothing on cricinfo about Gambhir playing. India disappointed yes but nothing to suggest they will try to do what they did with Shewag in Seth Efica in 2000....

If Gambhir is named Ponting should simply refuse to play. The ICC need to be strong on this and if the Indians insist on playing him the game needs to be awarded to Australia. India cannot keep getting away with whatever they want. It's very bad for world cricket the amount of power the BCCI has.

Yes and there is a similar article by Chloe Satau on The Age site.

All specualtion and taking the original BCCI statement about the rejected appeal to the extreme.

Whilst my respect for the BCCI is negligible talk about playing suspended players is borderline hysteria IMO

[Media Park]

The ICC need to be strong

Seriously?

I clearly didn't think about that one very well

Perhaps if they didn't have form Tas.
