Agarkar's hilarious celebration after avoiding 7th duck | From the Vault

After starting his Test career in promising fashion, things quickly went downhill for Ajit Agarkar with FIVE consecutive ducks on Australian soil. His reaction to getting off the mark at the Gabba in 2003/04 was awesome.

How can u forget Ricky ponting always tried to change umpire decisions n argued with them? Just not indians, they wanted any other non SENA players under hammer. How many times asian spinners were questioned for action? Why ganguly was criticized for removing tshirt at lords, while flintoff dint got that much?
