When DRS system was not in practice, in a series between India- Australia it was decided that the series will be played very sportingly. Rinckey Pointing was Captain of Australia and Anil Kumble was Indian Captain. It was decided that in wake of any confusion umpire will ask fielder whether he has taken clean catch or not and fielder's decision will be final.
In a test match that was balanced and India was approaching to win series, in slip , Rinky pointing pretending to take a catch. From reply it was clear that the ball had touched the ground and even Pointing was sure that catch was not legitimate. Even then all Australians claim that it was legitimate catch and umpire asked Ponting that was the catch was clear and batsman was out. Ponting lied and India loss the match .
I remember this incident today as Austrian team is crying crocodile tear over DRS. as they could not got out sturt Broad out by DRS as they has used their appeal.
When Austrian players cheat their opponents in broad day light, then they have to problems with system. take incident of Harbhajan and Adru Symond and all media of Australia favour Symond even though he was at mistake. Now when they have been not favoured by Pakistani umpire- Anil Dar- the media and team of Austrialia is crying about injustice.
Some one has rightly said when injustice is done to others and we get wrong favour we keep mum and when injustice is done to us and others get undue favour we start crying. That has happen with Australian team. Their ICC rank has been gone down and the players and media unable to digest that. Very very wrong practice it is.

Gone are the days when Gawasker , Vishwanath, Borde, Sobers, Clive lloyed , and many others were representing this gentleman game in gentleman spirit. People were enjoying the game more then what they enjoy today. Today the game is a business and profit making machine. Whether through match fixing or event fixing or by any other mean. LET US PRAY GOD THAT A DAY WILL COME THAT THIS GAME WILL BE NAMED AS GENTLEMAN GAME AGAIN IN TRUE SENCE.
