Lord's storm: Pakistan accuse referee Stuart Broad of bias toward Ricky Ponting over Mohammad Aamer bust-up

[IKnowU]

So people are saying ponting has the right to elbow because Aamer celebrated in his face? :headshake: Since when is elbowing someone considered self-defence? :giggle:

exactly

All those saying it was some form of self defense. Why did he have to give Aamer a mouthful of abuse afterwards and why did Broad not take him to task for abuse in intself? Why did he have to give umpire a mouthful while walking of as well and why did Broad not take him to task for abuse in itself?

i dnt think ponting did anything there..it was all Aamir's mistake...why was he running towards Amir...if anyone will run towards u...u will also have same reaction....Ponting just reacted in a sudden to what Aamir did....

[Sachinism]

This is how I see it Aamer was running and suddenly changed direction, Ponting got worried Aamer will run into him, so he put his arm out so he doesn't run into him. He didn't have to abuse him after, but he may have been angry Aamer ran at him About Broad, he's a ***** wouldn't have expected anything different if Ponting rammed the bat handle up Aamer's rear

Afridi, Shoaib, Sreesanth, Zaheer would have been banned for swearing at the ump. It is strange that the umpires suddenly realise that they have self-respect when an Asian yells at them or even excessive appeals. But they seem to lose their self-respect/become more understanding when a non-Asian swears at them. Strange!

I hope PCB shows some balls and appeals.

Unofficial test in the making? India-South Africa all over again? Tbh, PCB hardly has anything to appeal about, given that ICC will let Ponting get away anyway.

They cant just assumed that. A neutral judge delivered the justice and criticized Proctor's decision in the Bhajji contro in Australia.

It was a major controversy. This isn't. Bhaj had BCCI. PCB doesn't. And PCB knows that. So I guess they don't want to be humiliated in public as their concern might be shot down.

Completely agree.
