Shane Watson said that he is looking forward to a contest like the Sydney Test minus the scandal.
I disagree with Shane Watson. I want all the Test matches in the series to be like the Sydney Test albeit with a caveat –
Just imagine a series with villainous Australian cricketers - a boob for an umpire – racist allegations - a partisan media and conspiracy theories like the reported suppression of video replays by Channel 9 would just be what the doctor ordered.
I surmise that if the series were able to generate even 50 % of the emotional turmoil of the Sydney Test, it would be a cracker.
Sadly it may not happen as three key ingredients that provided the frisson are missing, i.e., Symonds, Bucknor and Peter Laylor.

Sydney scandal minus test would be interesting.We can assess Bhajjis control over himself.
I have lost hope on Bhajji.
Don't worry... Munaf has arrived and he has improved his vocabulary.
Scorpy,
That is a relief.:)
Ottayan. Your partisan comment about the media, while true, might be applied to your own post here. In listing the 3 'key ingerdients' you've managed to leave out any Indian 'ingredient'. One could infer that this is you absolving the entire Indian team from any blame whatsoever.
Thomas,
Welcome back. Guilty as charged.
