Brahminical media ,Ravi Shahstri and Gavaskar are worried that Ponting is getting closer to Sachin's "records" and are pressurizing Wasim Akram and Rameez Raja to criticize Ponting and unneccesarily praise every move of Sachin Tendulkar. Poor Akram and Ramiz gave into the trap of "we have the same culture" from Shastri and Gavaskar they dont know the hate filled hearts of Shastri and Gavaskar towards them.
If Sachin succeeded in Eng. tour then Ponting would have felt discouraged but now he will be pepped up to continue as Sachin may have a forced retirement for failing to perform.
