Cricket: How should the team from Mahatma's nation react?

Today is a bitter day for cricket. An evenly fought, a gem of a test match, is going to the history books for the wrong reasons. Poor, biased umpiring decisions heavily influenced the result. You must have heard and seen enough of it on the media, so I am not going to elaborate on that here.

Big question here is how should Indian team react to this? There are two more tests to go. Indian captain's comments at the end of the day were very mature, and politically correct.

This is not just the reaction to poor umpiring decisions, the manner Australians conducted themselves on the field is not what we would expect from true champions. They seem to be better at mind games than cricket. They tend to go to any extreme (even lying) just to win. So again, how should we react?

None seem to be answering it right, in my opinion. This is what I would think Mahatma's way of protest/response to the situation:

1. India should play the rest of the series, in very good spirit. But the difference should be that we should
   

   NEVER make any appeals to the umpires

   Opponent is plumb in front? We get on with the next delivery, with complete silence. Let the wicket gets counted in our heart.
   
   
2. We should
   

   play the game VERY honestly

   We should show the Australians what is more important Victory or the Sportsmanship. Gilchrist was known for his 'Walking', we all respect him for that. Australia would have been a better respected team had they taken a leaf from his book. But that book seem to be missing!
   
   
3. We should
   

   give a smile as the reply to the abuses

   we get on the field, and get on with the game for the sake of the game. Abusing back should NOT be our style. This is how we should differentiate ourselves from the Australians.

We may lose the match/series. 16 or 17 is just another number in the statistic. Sportsmanship is what matters.

If we play this way, think about whose victories will be respected and wholeheartedly celebrated.

Your comments are welcome. Jai Hind.
