India refuses to accept that opener Gautam Gambhir has lost his appeal to overturn a one-match ban for elbowing Australian all rounder Shane Watson during the third Test.
It follows ICC appeal commissioner Albie Sachs upholding match referee Chris Broad's decision to suspend Gambhir.
Under ICC regulations, the appeal verdict is final and cannot be questioned by a player or his board.
However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has called Sachs' decision into question.

For all the arguing between the NH and SH unions (and even within SANZAR) I think we can be justifiably glad we do'nt have this sort of situation where one country, backed up by the $$$, can carry on like a petulant 2-year-old* with apparent immunity- next time we don't like someone being suspended, why not just lock out the match officials like these guys??
Not so long ago, I looked forward to series with India becasue they were the best contests in Cricket, now every series there's some sort of contraversy, that ususally involves India threatening to take thier bat and ball and go home.
*Apologies to those with 2 year olds who think comparing them to the prima-donnas in the Indian cricket team is unfair.
