To recap, We have Dravid and Tendulkar who have been found guilty for Ball Tampering. In 2005, Ganguly was charged for time wasting (see below). Hhhmmm, stones and glass houses anyone?!). Yes I do realise that Lehmann was charged for racial abuse but hey, at least we didnt start crying and threaten to suspend the tour.
Why the Indians werent charged for Sharma's disgraceful display of time wasting (brought out the wrong gloves?..puhlease) is beyond me. Yet they have the gall to suggest that Australia werent playing in the spirit of the game! Again what a joke these people are.

ICC Match Referee Chris Broad ruled that Sourav Ganguly had breached Clause C1 of the ICC Code of Conduct, for conduct contrary to the spirit of the game on the basis of time wasting, in relation to India's over rate in the fourth One-Day International against Pakistan in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.
At a hearing conducted at the ground after the completion of the match, Ganguly was penalised for India's slow over rate. As this was his second breach of the clause in 12 months, the penalty is automatically upgraded from Level 2 to a Level 3 breach under the ICC Code.
