Is it my fault?
7 years ago
Ponting stood his ground after nicking a ball to Dhoni. He caught an edge of Dravids bat, but after the ball pitched. Before his teammates started celebrating, he said that he hasnt taken the catch cleanly. That's good,fine.. appreciated. But the honesty didn't stay long. In the 2nd innings he grounded the ball in the course of taking a catch. But, still he went on to appeal. Again in the second innings he swore to umpire that Clarke took Ganguly's catch cleanly when Clarke's credibility is already at stake.
Having done all these, he comes out in
the press meet and says Aussies played with spirit, sportsmanship, blah blah.. This is a typical case of "kekaravan kenayana irundha KR Vijaya Kondayil KTV theriyumaama".
Ponting went ahead and even asked "are you questioning my integrity?". .. hmm.. phew...Look who is talking about integrity.
Its once again evident that the Aussies become crybabies whenever they are pushed to the corner.
- Mcgrath did it when he sensed that west indies might fightback and chase the target in 4th test in Antigua. He sledged Sarwan and most importantly got back what he deserved.
McGrath: "What does Lara's d**k taste like?"
Sarwan: "I don't know, why don't you ask you're wife"
A fitting reply from Sarwan i would say. Eventually Australia lost the test match. A killer punch it was.
- Ponting did it when England were kicking the shit out of them in the 2005 Ashes. He childishly complained to the referee that England were very frequently substituting their players when fielding.
- And now, they have did it again by claiming false catches, standing ground after nicking, complaining about Harbhajan to match referee.
Not to forget the poor Umpiring decisions by Steve Fucknor ooops. Bucknor and Benson. I don't know when was the last time Bucknor went for an eye/ear medical checkup. This particular comment in cricinfo says it all about the poor umpiring.
"If Steve Bucknor walks the streets of Mumbai he would not be alive after an hour."Albeit India played badly in their second innings, but their efforts in the first innings deserves atleast a draw which was denied by you know who all.
A comment on a TV debate in India in the aftermath of the Sydney Test. The remark received warm applause
Overall, Justice, fairplay, integrity, sportsmanship was gangraped by Ponting, Symonds, M Clarke, Bucknor and Son of Ben(Benson).

(1) Ricky Ponting – (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED) should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE decision is final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field. This rule is to be made, so that every team should understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE.
(2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 metre distance), the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should be seeked from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.
(3) While BATTING, AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.
(4) UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the AUSTRALIAN team and board.
(5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as RACISM only.
(6) MATCH REFREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN TEAM advice only. Player views from the other teams decisions will not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFREES are to be given huge bonus if this rule is implemented.
(7) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.
(8) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING - “THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGTIRY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET” more than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be played to break records and create history in the game of CRICKET.

Bucknor (n) (v):
1. Temporary blindness leading to missing out on the obvious.
2. To be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
3. Situations leading to grave judgmental errors.
Usage: I feel bucknored by my boss; Life often throws a bucknor at you.
Benson (n) (v):
1. Something that legitimises a severe bucknor.
2. To rely on prejudiced opinions
Usage: First they bucknored me and then they bensoned it! I am toast.

//A tale of two captains
Ponting & Waugh
RICKY Ponting could justifiably claim that he learnt the habit of sledging or “mental disintegration” of his opponents from his predecessor as Australian captain, Steve Waugh. But Waugh could not just dish it out but also take it. Waugh did not provoke players in the opposing team into losing their cool and saying things which would be promptly reported to the match referee. Neither did he claim to be playing in the spirit of the game while appealing for grounded catches as Ponting did on the last day of the Sydney Test. If Waugh earned respect it was both as a player and as a human being. As a player, even before leading Australia, he came to the rescue of his side on any number of occasions when the other batsmen had been knocked over by the pace quartet of the then best team in the world, the West Indies. So much so that on many occasions when his team seemed to be on the verge of losing, the Aussie spectators would greet Steve’s presence at the batting crease by holding up banners saying “The Waugh Is Not Over!”
As a human being, Waugh demonstrated that his concern was not just limited to leading Australia to 16 consecutive Test wins, a feat equalled by Ponting the other day at Sydney in dubious circumstances. Waugh was known for his involvement with improving the lot of disadvantaged children in a Kolkata welfare home called Udayan which looked after the kids of poor parents suffering from leprosy. Even when leading Australia on his last tour of India, Waugh took time off during the second Test at Kolkata to drop by at Udayan. Which could be why quite a few children in the school said they were praying that “Steveda would score a century at Kolkata and that India would win the Test.” And the prayers of the children were answered on both counts. Ponting may break Waugh’s record at Perth but he has a long way to go before he earns the kind of respect Steve commands. ///
