India vs Australia
Second ODI
Three wickets down with only 140 on board, the Aussies needed a partnership at that stage if they were going to successfully chase the India's daunting total of 283.
Just then a dubious decision by Indian umpire K Hariharan sent Andrew Symonds back to the pavilion. Zaheer Khan bowling from round the wicket got a ball to slant in to the batsman rapping him on the pads. The natural angle of the delivery would have missed the leg-stump. But the umpire thought otherwise and gave marching orders to Symonds. From 132 for no loss, the world champions were reduced to 141 for the loss of 4 wickets.
