Gilchrist claimed a catch in this match that was not a catch and he's done it often in the past. he's not that great a sportsman.

Perhaps they could do like tennis: give the sides three challenges per innings so they can challenge the decision and if found to be the right decision they lose a challenge, therefore limiting the amount of times its used.
Just a thought... seems a shame to have technology available and it not be used.

A fielder knows if he has caught the ball 'clean' or not.

For a wicket keeper's take when there IS a noise and the ball is passing bat and pad almost simultaneously ... enough doubt there either way in my mind. Take it from someone who fields at 1st slip occasionally.

IF he was called that, no idea where the conclusive evidence is though ...

Exactly, his word against Harbhajans, so where's the fairness in that?

That's what really irks me, only Symonds heard it, although even he wasn't too clear about what, if anything, was said and yet Harbhajan gets a 3 test ban! Freaking crazy and totally one sided.
I've been at matches where that has happened. We've met quite a number of Australian cricketers over the years and hand on heart, the only 2 that I can honestly say we really liked were Darren Lehman and Shane Warne. Both were great with the kids are very polite and patient.

The U.K news are reporting that India have suspended their tour pending Singh's appeal.
It appears that the sport is descending into chaos, granted there have been some shocking decisions, closer inspection reveals they have cut both ways as they usually do:curse:
