In Test 1, Mumbai, Border-Gavaskar trophy, India were going comfortable at 103/2, in the 2nd innnings, with Sachin and Dravid at crease. Dravid at the strikers end, mistimed a pull shot which fell into the hands, or as replays showed, just short, of Michael Slater's grasp in India's first innings. Slater was adamant he had got to the ball before it bounced, but Dravid stayed put until the matter was referred to the third umpire. When Dravid was given the green light, Slater reacted in disgust, with the late Peter Roebuck describing the New South Welshmen's animated antics as "Slater's moment of madness." The Aussie walked up to umpire S Venkatraghavan and argued the decision with him and then turned to Dravid, who stood his ground. In his own words, the verbal abuse were brutally harsh but Dravid stayed completely zen like calm without hitting back. Australian media manager Brian Murgatroyd said: Dravid went to the Australian dressing room at the end
