Ishant is a dangerous bowler, admits Ponting
2008-02-11 06:37:00 Australian captain Ricky Ponting conceded on Sunday that his tormentor Ishant Sharma is a "dangerous bowler" but stopped short of rating the Indian attack as the best he has seen in home conditions in the recent past. "Ishant has done well in the latter half of this tour so far. He is a dangerous bowler," conceded a sombre Ponting. "(S) Sreesanth has also looked good but it's too early to say this is the best attack seen in Australian conditions for sometime now as England was here last year," he said. The young Indian attack, led by Sharma, booked Australia out for 159 in 43.1 overs after Ponting had chosen to bat first at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. The Aussie skipper was suitably impressed. "He is different in the sense that he hits the deck hard and gets some inconsistent bounce. I don't know whether it's because he changes his action." "He looks dangerous and would be even more to the left-handers. Even to the right-handers, the kind of in-swing he manages is a b...

India has proved to be a worthy challenger to Australian supremacy: Ponting
2008-01-29 11:53:00 Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting has said India has proven a worthy challenger to Australian supremacy in the game. "They have proved they are the No. 2 Test side in the world," Ponting said after the fourth Test at the Adelaide Oval ended in a draw on Monday. The final day of the series was all about farewells: Test cricket's farewell to Gilchrist and Australia's farewell to five Indian champions — Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, V. V. S. Laxman and India's proud captain, Anil Kumble. But there was also evidence that the absorbing rivalry between the two superpowers of world cricket was in good hands, in the battle between Sehwag and Brett Lee. The Australian speedster was last night named man of the series for his 24 wickets — confirming the 31-year-old's graduation to the leader of the new-generation Australian attack. Sehwag scored a magnificent 151 and the next highest score in the Indian innings was 20 by Mahender Singh Dhoni. ...

Australia will bounce back, says Ponting
2008-01-21 06:13:00 PERTH - Australia are confident they will regroup from the 72-run defeat by India on Saturday to win next week's fourth and final test in Adelaide."Australian teams historically have been able to bounce back," captain Ricky Ponting told a news conference. "If we lose a game or have things not go our way we can turn things around pretty quickly."That's what our whole focus will be now. We played some great cricket in Melbourne, we played some great cricket in Sydney. We've let ourselves down a little bit in this game but it's about how we bounce back from that now."Ponting said the visitors deserved to win the third test here and keep alive their hopes of squaring the series 2-2 in Adelaide but warned Australia would learn from their errors.He said the home team were not at their best at the WACA, misjuding the pace of the pitch and making a string of fundamental mistakes."It was a tough four days, India deserved to win the game the way they did. They outplayed us for the majorit...
India bowled well, says Ponting

Young Ishant Sharma's bowling to Ponting was a revealation. Wasim Akram gave some fantastic tips to Pathan, just before the match. Aussies were reduced to 61/5 at their den, from which they never truly recovered. Aussies were at a tremendous advanatage playing at their favourite ground, the fastest in the world. They had not lost any Test there ( except to an England side, when top Aussie players were not there ).So India has created history at Perth, being the first subcontinental side, to shock the Aussies !

Ponting admits to making mistakes in Sydney Test
2008-01-14 08:36:00 The Australian team made a couple of mistakes on the field in the controversial second Test against India, Australia captain Ricky Ponting has admitted.The fallout from the Test, which Australia won by 122 runs, included India captain Anil Kumble accusing the Australians of not playing within the spirit of the game, while Ponting faced calls for his sacking.The Australian team have received support from numerous other international players for their hard-nosed attitude to the game, though Ponting said the team had examined aspects of their behaviour and reaffirmed their pledge to the spirit of cricket.However Ponting, writing in his column in Monday's Australian newspaper, said there had been two incidents on the field that his side could have handled better."I know when I was given out in the first innings in Sydney I should have left straight away instead of hanging around for a few seconds, and I know I should not have lobbed my bat into the dressing room," Ponting wrote."Michae...
Ponting admits he could have handled things in a better way in Sydney Test
2008-01-10 12:00:00 In his attempt to improve the bitter relations between Team India and Kangaroos, Australian skipper Ricky Ponting has said that things could have been handled in a better way in the Sydney Test. “Maybe I should have reacted differently here and Michael Clarke might be saying the same thing, and a few of the guys might all be looking at what we've done that last game,” Ponting said. He, however, insisted that he did right thing by informing the umpires that Harbhajan had called Symonds a "monkey". Ponting also said that he will meet Indian captain Anil Kumble to stop any animosity creeping into the third Test schedule to be played at Perth. “It's (meeting) going to be very important,” he told the Nine Network. “I made that very clear to him at the end of the (Harbhajan) hearing the other night ... when we sat down at the end and I had a really good chat with him and the Indian management and the few...

The Harbhajan Singh affair, together with the issue of the Australia players? gamesmanship in the second Test, is such a big story here that it is not only front, back and inside-page news, but also general feature and leader material.?Victory without honour? was the damning headline on The Sydney Morning Herald?s opinion page yesterday. Even more challenging was the headline at the top of the paper?s front page: ?For the sake of our integrity, the arrogant Ponting must be sacked.?

ICC asks Cricket Australia to rein in Ponting & Co
2008-01-09 10:01:00 MELBOURNE: The ICC has urged Cricket Australia to reign in Ricky Ponting's men in the light of all-round criticism of their on-field behaviour during the ill-tempered second Test against India. ICC CEO Malcolm Speed said CA needs to take notice of the criticism being directed at its team by the public, former players and commentators. "The team is being criticised, members of the team are being criticised and they need to to be aware of that -- they need to respond to that," Speed was quoted saying in the 'Herald Sun'. "All national teams should play cricket in the right spirit. We need to be clear what that means," he said. Speed said he was relieved that the replacement of umpire Steve Bucknor prevented an international crisis. "We could have gone in banging the table and playing `who blinks first', we could have turned what is already an international incident into an international crisis." "What we have elected to do, and we have given some serious thought about this, is to ...
Cricket Australia defends Ponting & Co, says sparks are bound to fly
2008-01-09 10:00:00 Cricket Australia (CA) on Wednesday threw its weight behind Ricky Ponting and his teammates against accusations of unsporting behaviour and said sparks are bound to fly when the game is Test cricket and not "tiddlywinks".CA chief executive James Sutherland looked unperturbed by the barrage of criticism that has been hurled at Ricky Ponting and his teammates for their arrogance and unsporting behaviour that marred the Sydney Test against India.According to Sutherland, Ponting and his men might have mouthed a word or two in the heat of the moment but they never overstepped the line. "Test cricket is what is being played here. It's not tiddlywinks," said Sutherland, asserting Australia always played the game hard but fair."It's a tough game and out there from time to time emotions will bubble over and perhaps some of the words that are said will not be acceptable in genteel company. But they are said and that is what happens," he told reporters.He said Ponting's team was just contin...

Indian spin won't wash: Ponting
2008-01-09 06:11:00 Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting on Wednesday said that the Indian team could say what they liked about his bowling line-up but they would still have difficulty against it.India arrived in Australia on Tuesday for the four-Test series with captain Anil Kumble confidently targeting his opponent's bowling as their weakness following the retirement of leg-spinner Shane Warne.But Ponting said left-arm spinner Brad Hogg, who was on Tuesday named in the squad to replace an injured Stuart MacGill, deserved his place in the side despite only having played four Tests."A lot of international players have struggled reading Hoggy in one-day cricket especially," said Ponting."He's brought a lot of guys undone with his variations in that form of the game and I can't see why it would be any different in Test cricket."If they (the Indians) want to go after him then good because that's probably the best way for us to take wickets as well.""Hoggy is bowling very well, he's very confiden...
Ponting did not heed Kumble's peace plea
2008-01-09 06:09:00 If Australia skipper Ricky Ponting had shown a little more sensitivity, an iota of the maturity that his opposite number from India has shown and perhaps, an understanding of the implications of what he was doing, there may have been no crisis in world cricket. The Indian team here reportedly made every effort to prevent the ongoing emergency from becoming precisely what it has ? the kind of incident that is testing the fabric of the game. Unfortunately, the Australians were not willing to play ball. According to sources, India skipper Anil Kumble called Ponting up on the night of the Harbhajan-Symonds incident and asked him not to press for the charge of racism. Ponting (based on what Andrew Symonds alleged) had made the complaint to umpires Benson and Bucknor, who in turn had made the code of conduct violation charge at close of play on Day Three. Kumble reportedly told Ponting that if Harbhajan had caused any offence at all, he was willing to apologise on his behalf as the capta...
Australian view: 'Ricky Ponting must go

Wild thing: Ponting must be sacked, according to leading cricket writerPeter Roebuck, cricket correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald, described the Test as "beyond comparison the ugliest performance put up by an Australian side for 20 years". Roebuck, the English-born former Somerset batsman, wrote: "If Cricket Australia cares a fig for the tattered reputation of our national team in our national sport, it will not for a moment longer tolerate the sort of arrogant and abrasive conduct seen from the captain and his senior players over the past few days."He continued: "Ponting has presided over ...
Defiant Ponting refuses to admit wrongdoing
2008-01-08 12:46:00 A defiant Australian skipper Ricky Ponting maintained that he did nothing wrong by reporting Harbhajan Singh for "racially abusing" Andrew Symonds and felt his Indian counterpart Anil Kumble has been unfair in his criticism of the host team's lack of sportsmanship."It is a shame that this issue has come to dominate the Test because from my point of view I believe that overall both the Melbourne and Sydney Tests were played in terrific spirit.""This is not something we take lightly so it is surprising and disappointing to hear Anil Kumble suggest that we did not play within that spirit in Sydney," Ponting wrote in his column for The Australian."I like Anil as a bloke and admire him as a cricketer and now captain. I have always felt he played his cricket in the right way, hard but fair. And I believe that is what we do, too."Ponting asserted that his world champion team was well aware of its responsibility in upholding the spirit of the game and said, "since I took over from Steve (W...

'As good a feeling as I've ever had on a cricket field' - Ponting
2008-01-07 06:40:00 Steve Waugh used to complain when he was captain that Australia's major achievements were always overshadowed by some sort of controversy. Ricky Ponting is unlikely to protest about the issues of race, umpiring and spirit of cricket taking the attention away from his team's outstanding run of 16 consecutive victories, which equalled Waugh's world mark. Ponting's main aim was winning the game rather than grabbing the record and the success was achieved with a gamble on Michael Clarke, who captured three dramatic wickets in the scheduled second-last over of the day. The 122-run win, which retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, was sealed with seven balls remaining and Ponting celebrated as joyously as during his Ashes and World Cup victories. "My overall emotion and feeling at the end of the game was as good a feeling as I've ever had on a cricket field," Ponting said. "Winning a Test like that, coming down to the last eight or ten minutes on the fifth day, any Test you win then is...

Gilchrist hits 2 sixes in his 51 and Ponting with Clarke and Symonds sealed the fate of the match. Aussie bowling was ferocious, with Lee & Tait !The Aussie commentators were talking about the upcoming series against India. They said India is a very experienced side, with one of the best batting line ups in the world. Jaffer is in tremendous form. The Indian left arm seamers performed well in England and they are expecting a great series, which starts from Dec 20. In our last post, we talked about the Awesome Fivesome. It is actually the Splendid Sixsome, Yuvraj included. On paper, it looks like the best batting line up in the world, considering that Sachin alone has scored more than 27000 runs in ODIs and Tests. Ganguly has scored more than 11000 runs and taken more than 100 wickets in ODIs. Sehwag had scored a triple century and Laxman 's highest is 2...

Double Standards are OK: Ricky Ponting and Andrew Symonds Think So
2007-10-26 01:53:00 Ricky Ponting and Andrew Symonds think aggressiveness is reserved for Australians only. They think sledging and name calling are their own assets.They think their relentless gibberish on the field can't be repeated by another team. But keep in mind that no one is above any other one. You receive from the world what you send out. It is the rule of Karma.They thought so for so long, till a Ganguly, a Harbhajan and a Sreesanth pricked their ego. Ponting says aggressiveness is part of Australian behavior.When Sreesanth or Harbhajan behaves in the same way, it is unnatural and odd – going by the words of Australian cricketers.These words are only futile mind control exercises by the Australians, except they are not going to work this time.Read it closely – Australians take pride in mentally tiring opposing teams. It is only natural for them to do so. When someone replies them in the same way, it is unnatural and odd.Though I don't like the treatment Andrew Symonds got from some spe...
