Across 400 cities in India, rallies, protests and hunger fasts were undertaken. Politicians and Officers were shaken too, with the intensity of the protests. Some parties ran to support while a few made the feeblest objections possible.

Test no. 1857 Border-Gavaskar Trophy - 2nd TestAustralia v India 2007/08 season Played at Sydney Cricket Ground on 2,3,4,5,6 January 2008 (5-day match) Toss Australia, who chose to bat first Series Australia led the 4-match series 2-0 Men of the match : MR Benson (England) and SA Bucknor (West Indies) Results :- 1) The Australian cricket team is not unbeatable even in Australia. 2) Indian team has lost the match to the Bad Umpiring (intentional or unintentional !!) and not to Australians.
