Team manager Chetan Chauhan said that the request would be sent to the ICC and it was for the game's governing body to take a decision on the matter.
"We have received a direction from the BCCI to lodge an official protest against the umpiring in the Sydney Test. We will do so," Chauhan said.
"We will also request the ICC not to assign the two umpires, particularly Steve Bucknor for any of our future matches," he added.
India lost the riveting second cricket Test by 122 runs but the match witnessed a large number of dubious decisions most of which went against the visitors.
The team management had initially decided not to lodge a formal complain after the opening day but has now had change of mind following the horrendous decisions on the final day.

This is a preplan to demoralise Indian team. We should strongly protest such type of plan and counter it properly by India team players and team management.
When ponting, symonds, hayden, hussey, all are given more life to bat, obviously they will score centuries. Harbhajan singh can scrore century if given 4 lives as did for symonds. Well when daryl harper gave shoulder before the wicket for tendulkar, India did not complained. This is a broad day light robbery by australians, ably supported by anti Indian bucknor, benson and ofcourse icc. Would you have tolerated if 8 decisions had gone in favour of India. Australia might win another 100 matches continously, but they are the cheaters to the core. Australians are not world champions in cricket, they are WORLD CHAMPIONS IN RACISM, BULLYING AND IN CHEATING. Soon australians will bite the dust for there racism and arrogance. Even a Hi to symonds sounds like racism for him. He is a saddist and sick mentally. Hope upcoming cricketers around the world wont have a cheating, racist, saddist australian so called cricket player as there role model.
I laughed at your comments when I read them...From an Australian supporter who was interested in how the media in India would deal with this I am a little taken aback by the attitude. Sure.. bad decisions were made and at in the last hour I weas hoping India would hold on for a draw as they did deserve it. But in the end it was snatched away by an inspired piece of captaining and bowling. Now to be upset about it is one thing but some of the stuff I have read makes me cringe! Come on India! You will have to move on.. after the Ashes were lost in 2005 through a massively bad umpiring incident we didn't sit back and complain about it, we moved on and won the next 16 in a row, we didn't talk about never playing England again and how the whole world hates us.. Now it is up to you guys to come back hard at us in Perth... teach us a cricketing lesson and not to complain so much you'll think we will forget about the middle order collapses and toothless bowling.. I will be in Perth and we will see..
Indians should learn to practice more and more to taken on even the horrible umpiring decisions. Steve Fucknor gave bad decisions even in the earlier tour of India to Australia. Cricket lovers the game is going to dogs. Even the third umpire is hopeless too he could not see Andrew Symonds feet off the ground when his bails were knocked off. What shame and disgusting turn the second test took. If I was playing australia and won this game my head would hung in shame for the rest of my life.
well, i have been closely watching the second test
well, i have been closely watching the second test
You have all seen the match so there is no point in repeating what happened. The Australian team behaved like bunch of bullies, the empires behaved like thugs. So I don't see there is any point in playing with Australia any more. India should totally boyot any games with Australia except the world cup. There are other teams that we can play with what is the point in playing against the convicts.
yes very true...the australians are a bunch of cowards, especially Mr Ponting....we have to find new words to describe this guy and his attitude. Just because he is white skin does not mean he is the ruler of the world of cricket. Soon the australians will be thought a lesson by the Indian, Srilankan, and Pakistan teams.
There is no point in playing cricket with langoor australians when the series out come is already decided boardroom. Australian cricketers, umpires and icc have already decided that australia should win the series by cheating. India should pull out of the tour and snap ties with australian cricket. BCCI should ban australian players from playing in Indian premier leauge. Kick the old asses of langoor australians when the tour India and give them a tough time. Australian cricketers are now the number one enemey of Indian cricket fans. They should have a worst experience of there lives when they visit India.
Will BCCI, privately governed autonomous body, mainly reeking in the rich profits from the game, will have the spine to stand up and stay firm or in the name of maintaining "relationships" with CA, buckle down!? Ball is in your court now BCCI.
Beggars are not choosers.
While the Umpiring was the Worst in the Cricket history, the batting failures of Jaffer, Yuvi and Dhoni in ALL the four innings is the greater reason for India's defeat. Combined, had they played just 2 more overs in the last innings, India could have drawn the match! Any comments or thoughts??
Yes...but then you should understand the fact that the australians could well have been out for less than 200 runs in the first innings if symonds, ponting was given out at the right time. So as per your suggestion the climax would have been better and India might have won the game. So the point of not getting out for two overs is well out of question, and more over the guys were tailenders, hence you cannot expect much out of them especially when you have around 6 or 7 fielders standing around you to put the pressure on you.
Harbhajan has been banned!!! This the last straw!!! To hell with the aussies - CALL TEAM BAck!!!!!!!!!! BAN ASUSSIES FROM ICL!!!!!!!!!!!
if symonds apologises for inciting harbajan, empires apologise for their wrong decisions then continue tour...if not COME BACK IF BCCI HAS ANY SHAME LEFT IN THEM
Terrible umpiring. How can Bucknor still has a job? After the test, they should be evaluated and if they performed poorly, they should be benched. Isn't that what we see everywhere? You goof up, you are fired. So, don't blame the players when they were at the receiving end one after the other
There seems to be some 'relationship' between Bucknor and Symonds as the latter seems to be the beneficiary of Bucknor's laughable decisions. Time for BCCI to stand up and use its clout to bar Bucknor for life and tell the Australians that they can take a hike, if they want to cheat.
Incompetent umpiring was the reason for India's defeat at Sydney.Both Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson should be censured for their very poor umpiring.Both spoiled the match.It was ridiculous to note that Sourav was given out by taking Ponting's words.The third umpire should have been consulted.Australian cricketers displayed poor sportsmanship.
We always talk like this.If we have any spine, we should CALL OUR TEAM BACK. To hell with this series. Aussies are complaining that Harbhajan is racist. All these decisions also seem to be racist. How come not so many bad decisions against Australia? It is time, we show that nothing more is important than a nation's self respect...Lastly, remove Jaffer and Yuvraj from the test squad.
POOR BUCK NER!why u r blamed.WHY UVARAJ'JAFFER r not blamed.U did not give them out in 4 innings of 2 tests.U BUCCKLED.they r not.THIS IS INDIA!
Are you stupid or something? Failures of Indian players affect their individual averages (values),may have a negative impact on there careers and in any case these are a matter of record. Any number of years down the line these facts will remain the same. On the other hand Bucknor despite the catalogue of his confirmed mistakes will continue to officiate in more test matches, ODIs etc.
OK, umpiring protest is fine! BUT DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE USELESS, SPINELESS PLAYERS - Jaffer, Yuvraj, etc.If you cannot survive for 70 overs, YOU DO NOT DESERVE to PLAY. THIS IS SHAMEFUL!!! DISGUSTING! the AUSSIES are KICKING BUTT and our players are silently taking it!
BCCI should take tough stand
this wont be enough. conduct of umpires has has reduced this match to a farce.BCCI
bcci can act tough with only poor small time players who sign with icl and they have absolutely no guts to stand up against the national team and against icc!!!
