Australia v England, 5th Test: Broken finger rules Ricky Ponting out of Sydney | Cricket News | The Ashes 2010-11 | ESPN Cricinfo
who predicted this? i thought it was me who said I would have Ponting bat at number 12 hahaha..
Bye bye Douchbag cheater...
He thought the Umpire is Pakistani.. what is the worst that can happen..a very good move by CA here..he deserved to be dropped for being racist..

as far as i undersatnd he is not dropped....
But have feeling that MCG test was his last for Austrlia ..as they are now slated to play only again in Aug 2011
if they win world cup in india think he will retire on that high note..and if they fail to win it that will be another blow to his captaincy

Couple of points.
He was not dropped by CA for being a racist but because of a broken finger and possibly poor form.
He has so far not shown any evidence of being a racist. He has shown utter disrespect for umpires though but not just Aleem Dar but many umpires over the years and he is not the only Australian player to do so..many including heroes McGrath, Warne and Waughs have done so.

He isn't the only player to do it. There are plenty of examples of players from all over disrespecting umpires. Players don't disrespect umpires because they're Australian anymore than they take bribes to fix matches because they're Pakistani.

That article made me swear never to take any cricinfo article seriously again. While I believe Ponting has certainly captained his last, he has not played his last,

Who's been hauled up in front of the ICC more than any other player?
That'll be Inzamam Ul-Haq, in case you're wondering.

The ICC are obviously racist.

A last-gasp contender for worst post of 2010.
Pathetic.
The guy's got an injury, and whatever other faults he has (he has many, and I'm usually the first to bang on about them) there's not a sliver of a shred of evidence that he's racist. That's a vile accusation to make without any evidence, son. Not sure if you'll be banned for it, but imho you ****ing deserve to be.
My advice to you is to wind your neck in.

But more Australian players have, over the years disrespected umpires just like more Pakistani players have over the years been accused and implicated in bribery and match fixing charges.. So it is fair to conclude that those problems are slightly more serious in those countries than the rest.
On another note, this is a topic about Ponting and the Ashes and hence it was only natural that his altercation with the umpires would come up. However is there any particular reason you found it necessary to bring up the match fixing issue other than the fact that the man in my avatar happens to be wearing the jersey of a certain country? because if that's your argument..then I must say its a pretty bad argument..Its not going to work because I will not shy away from calling a spade a spade just because I happen to support the team..unlike many others who blindly defend everything their players do.

If you're trying to bring Inzamam ul Haq to attack me..then thats a very sorry post I must say
Inzamam ul Haq, from what I can remember and I am sure I remember more of him than you, has never behaved with an umpire the way Ponting did at MCG. If he has been hauled in front of ICC more than Ponting or the others..then you're really opening a can of worms there.

Well I posted it to point out that you can't generalise like that really. It's a bit rich on your part to now play a race card against me when I think you (likely inadvertently) did the same to one country's group of cricketers too. I'd have though it was self evident why I said it.

Are among the non-Australian players I can think of off the top of my head who have disrespected umpires. Without giving it more than two minutes' thought.
