I reckon the only reason Ponting took this further is so that he has a chance of getting past 10 runs in his next innings as he's Harbajan's bunny!!!! (Ooops.....hope 'bunny' isn't a racist terms like 'monkey' is!!!!!)
CHEERLEADERS ROCK!!!
HTFU comes to mind![]()
Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
I personally think it is a direct response to the pansy-boy carry on other countries have tried on when copping a bit of stick from Australia, they carry on like tits then whinge when it comes back to bite them.
HTFU indeed, that means all of them.

Jargan i am waiting for that post to come out in hard back or the 15 part tv mini series.
Ponting lost his credibility when he tried to claim a catch that was obviously grounded & then went on to abuse the Journalist who had the audacity to point it out
while I didn't see pontings comments .. it wasn't as though the grounding was uncontrolled, I would have paid that out!

an snippet from the australian today
I think that sums it up nicely!!!It may very well be that Australia plays the game too hard in the eyes of some, but equally, in the eyes of others, India does not play it hard enough.

Very well put!
I still think race and family are too things that should never be used against anyone during a game of cricket... or anywhere for that matter.
But the Indians having a go at Hogg for using the word bastard is just laughable. It's in our everyday, colloquial language. Calling someone a monkey when that person had been offended by the same comment only weeks before, is a deliberate attempt to create conflict and he really just should have known better.
If the Indians are going to suspend the tour unless the suspension is overturned then they can bugger off. No team has the right to control umpire selections and it just smacks of... well it has a certain blackmail or extortion feel. I don't like it one bit!
Would have liked to have been able to go to the test match in Perth though.![]()
I made Happy sad...
This is pathetic, a poll on abcsport.com at the moment:
Should Ricky Ponting be sacked from his captaincy role?
Yes 41%
No 59%
406 votes counted
The bloke has just led the nation to a record equaling sixteenth consecutive Test victory, lead us to the One Day World Cup and a red hot shot at the Twenty-20 World Cup with a freshly depleted Squad and all these bleeding hearts want to drop him for the Indian Cricket team being a mob of soft.... the mind boggles![]()

Not sure how you could draw that inference, Burgs. What I wrote means the exact opposite. But, like I said the choice is personal. I'd imagine it's somewhere in between for most people. If you're absolutely sure of what happened you fess up. If not you stand your ground and leave it to the umpires.

99% of the time you know if you got an edge

It would be a sad sad day if Ricky got sacked. Stupid opinion polls.
