Ponting made scapegoat
by Sunil Vaidya on Feb 24, 2011 02:16 PM

normally whenever any australian does something it is always in response to some sledging by other team's players. like bechara symmonds when the whole thing was started by bhajji.

similarly, ponting is not the culprit here. it is sad that he is drawing so much flak and demands for fine. actually the person who runout ponting is responsible for all this and that player should be banned for this whole world cup. Poor ponting is just being made a scapegoat while that player who runout ponting is left scotfree. actually he is the one who was responsible for ponting's outburst.

Ponting and Tendulkar
by Anand on Feb 24, 2011 10:57 AM

Ponting is certainly one among the worst behaved players in cricket today. He is losing a number of fans because of his bad behaviour while Tendulkar seems to be getting more fans for his excellent behaviour. Ponting should learn from Sachin who never throws his bat even if out on a duck. Way to go Ponting and pack your bags early this time.

Pseudo:

Your growing frustration can be seen very clearly ...:)

Continual success by India (and Dhoni) and continual failure by Aus (and Ponting) seems to have shaken your equanimity and mental balance. Now you have even started to warn posters on this forum against doing something or other!...

Fight? :)

It was merely an informal exchange of views and ideas through the written medium... ;-)

All I did was try to point out "overboard" statements such as "Indians always..", "India never..", "Sachin always..", "Ponting always.." etc. etc..

You might well sound shocked at such an idea - having logical and balanced discussions on Rediff forum... Whoever heard of it? Right? :)

Thats what everyone thought. But it took a lot of effort by pseudo for people to start getting it. It is just a rich cultural tradition in aus land where they break things and drop washing machines etc while celebrating run outs, 30 wins in a trot etc. Pseudo is very well informed in such traditional matters and he immediately spotted the celebrations and enlightened us. :))
