Fair Mr. Ponting ?

So finally ponting came down heavily on an Indian reporter snapping at him... Acting like a wierdo asking if his integrity was being questioned ? Well the reporter backed down... getting defensive... After all he needs to earn his bread by writing... Not me... I have other sources... LOL...

So lets get down to integrity of Ponting... One could be pardoned for reading ponting and integrity as antonyms... After all in the first test Yuvi's decision was absurd... Yuvi payed away from his body... Bat was hangung in the air... Ball whizzed past the bat... Snickometer didn't pick a damn... But all close in fielders went up in unison... Clearly showing how HARD they practice cheating... No wonder McGrath claims Aussies play their game hard... And fair ? My foot...

If they were playing fair they wouldn't be appealing for the Dravid catch in the second innings or the Ganguly dismissal... Goes on to show the tactics of the Aussies... Pressurize the umpire into committing mistakes... But again this has gone on so long since nobody is interested in reining them in... So question is who will bell the cat... The best position somobody is in is BCCI... They should take up the issue strongly and get the second test result annuled... Not only that Ricky Ponting should be banned for a year and stripped off captaincy for bringing the game to disrepute... He has totally abondaned the rules of the gentleman's game and resoted to doing anything possible and at times turning the impossible in his favor to register wins... This is just not done and BCCI which generates 70% of money from cricket since me and you watch is should bring this guy to book... This is the only way some amount of credibility lost can be brought back into the game... Else we will surely be setting dangerous precedents if he is let off lightly...

Or take the case of Sachin Tendulkar... Here is a guy who tries hard to concentrate before getting down to bat listening to whatever he likes at that point for a minimum 30 minutes... As soon as he comes down to bat a bunch of a(u)ss(i)es get down to the business of breaking his concentration by talking crap on him sledging... IS THAT FAIR MR.PONTING... Mental disintegration is it... Looks like you and your bunch of jokers sure have lost your mental balance in my view...

As I write this Bhajji can play says speed... And then this clown goes on to say only ICC has the right to decide on umpires... It cannot be further questioned by any board... But in the interest of the game will have Buckner replaced by Bowden another one of those useless umpires... Anyways one clown gives way to another... Incidentally in Buckner's defence I have seen many comment that it is tough for umpires to stand 5 days and thus are prone to making mistakes... Now question is if a guy cannot stand 5 days is he worthy enough to stand in tests... Needs serious answers...

PS: Now that ICC has decided partly to agree with BCCI they should go in for the kill and see to it that the ban is revoked else we should as a policy let the whole team sit out giving the Duleep trophy chance to play the Australians since they don't deserve to play this good Indian teams... Better still we can have a Indian team of enunchs after all that is the only team in my view Ricky Ponting and his pack of wild dogs(As Peter Rebouck claims) deserve to play against... Cheers...
