Ricky Ponting's Outburst

I can understand one getting so upset. After all, he was well set ready to play another match-saving innings. But for crying out loud, this substitute method has been going on for years in England and no one has complained before. Not least the Aussies when they were winning so comprehensively last 3 tours.

And on this occasion definitely the reason for the sub was genuine with Simon Jones out with a serious injury. He did point out to this whole sub thing at the start of the series but well there is no excuse for taking a poor run like that.

I can understand his outburst but I would like to see him punished. Not just get off with an apology. Let's see if Ranjan Madugalle has the gall to adequately punish an Australian captain. After all, if it was a certain Indian prince in Ponting's shoes he would have probably been banned for 6 Tests by now ...
