Aussie media slam BCCI

Cricket AFP, Sydney
Australian media Wednesday accused Indian cricket bosses of arrogance and bullying after world officials bowed to their demands in rows over racism and umpiring.
"Bullies prosper and sport suffers," the Daily Telegraph headlined an editorial describing the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as "the powerful new rajahs of world cricket. ”
“India has intimidated and bullied the International Cricket Council into dispensing with umpire Steve Bucknor for the final two Tests of the series against Australia," the paper said.
India had complained about Bucknor's performance, accusing him of bungling key decisions in the explosive second Test in
Sydney, which ended Sunday in accusations of bad sportsmanship and racism.
Indian officials also effectively put the four-Test tour on hold while they appealed a three-Test ban for bowler Harbhajan Singh, who was accused of racially abusing Andrew Symonds, the only black player in the Australian side.
But India's cricket board announced late Tuesday it would go ahead with the tour after the ICC said Bucknor would be replaced and Harbhajan would be eligible to play while his appeal against the ban was pending.
"The Indian board's stance amounts to attempted blackmail and it cannot be tolerated,” The Australian newspaper said in an editorial headlined "Time to stop whining and play the game. ” ■
"Holding the game to ransom in such a way is arrogant and bad sportsmanship."
Those charges — arrogance and bad sportsmanship -- had been made first against the Australian side after their behaviour on the tense final day when India was defeated in the penultimate over.
Indian captain Anil Kumble accused the hosts of not living up to the spirit of the game and found an unusual ally in Australian newspapers onTUesday.
Several commentators called captain Ricky Ponting's team "boorish" and "arrogant" for taunting the visitors, pressuring the umpires and indulging in ungracious victory celebrations.
But by Wednesday most newspapers had rallied around the world champions, with The Australian dismissing calls for Ponting to be sacked as "the ultimate absurdity crowning an extraordinary week of cricket and an extraordinarily silly week of cricket politics."
