Former batsman VVS Laxman has highlighted India were denied a victory in the 2008 Sydney Test against Australia because of umpiring howlers. VVS Laxman was asked if the 'Monkeygate' episode is his murkiest cricketing memory and if it was the Australians' arrogance that led to it. While not blaming the Aussie arrogance, the soft-spoken Laxman responded India were denied a great chance to draw parity in the Test series.
