patriot Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/cricket-world-cup-2011/news/Ponting-smashes-LCD-in-Australian-dressing-room/articleshow/7545485.cms I hope the SOB gets to pay for this. I recollect earlier Aussie athletes had sabotaged television sets and refrigerators in the Common Wealth Village in Delhi. These uncivilized thugs from a "developed " country must be made to pay for this. Makes me wonder do most Aussie athletes have this ugly thuggish and obnoxious attitude ? I remember how I used to hate that Lleyton joker Hewitt and his OTT aggro and fist pumping.

satyam1729 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I thought that was just a beat up? Where did you read that ? In OZ media.
99.94 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Where did you read that ? In OZ media. No.. Indian media
Ultimate_Game Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 LOL... couple of sayings come to mind with the following words/phrases - "old dog, new tricks" and "kutte ki punch" :)
99.94 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Since when was a player smashing something in a dressing room unheard of anyway?
satyam1729 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Since when was a player smashing something in a dressing room unheard of anyway? Tendulkar did not do it when he was run out.
Zap_Brannigan Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Whats the big deal. This is not as bad as the CW games. As long as Ponting owns up and pays for it to be fixed, its really not an issue.
99.94 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Tendulkar did not do it when he was run out. Cool. He must be the only player to have done so.
saneindian Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Has the ICC match referee taken note? This surely is a breach of code of conduct or is Ponting above all this?
DomainK Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 He will need a good supply of tv sets for the rest of the world cup. I think we should be polite and pay for it.
King Tendulkar Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 What a yob!!!! Sums up his lack of class
Sachin=GOD Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 :headshake: first the Aussies do such things and then they wonder why the rest of the cricketing world hates them and thinks of them as arrogant.
King Tendulkar Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I rember when Sachin was shafted by Taufel in the 90s in a test. Horrible decision when sachin cruising to another ton, was seen a minute after getting out having an ice cream on the balcony smiling and laughing! Pure Class
straight.drive Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 These uncivilized thugs from a "developed " country must be made to pay for this. :omg: Dude...you can call the individual to be ill-tempered. Bringing a country into this and calling them as thugs is a bit over board.

Sachinism Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 How did he get run out? I heard there was a brilliant run out in the match, was that his? And if that was he should be the 1st person to appreciate the good work

And if that was he should be the 1st person to appreciate the good work This world cup is a great opportunity for Ponting to do well and earn some goodwill back home. After the Ashes, he must be under tremendous pressure. I dont think it's the manner of dismissal that pissed him off. May be he is pissed because he lost an opportunity to amass some good runs.
