Ponting is such a cheat

[putrevus]

This guy talk about taking the word of fielder and honesty and blah blah ba. But in reality he is the biggest cheat , how can you stay on wicket which you know you have clearly nicked the ball. STFU Ponting you are such disgrace to the game.

[hatja_tau]

So much for trusting the player's word. Ponting = #Epic Fail!

[The Outsider]

Yeah, Tendulkar always walks after edging.

[ravishingravi]

^Atleast Tendlya never claimed to be "holier than thou". It is quite another thing that everyone assumed it with him.

[zaheer]

why should he walk... There is an umpire standing to make a decision plus if u are that confident u also have DRS..

That might make Ponting a hypocrite. How does it make him a cheat?

[putrevus]

Common when there is clear nick I have never seen Tendulkar not walk like Ponting had here.

[ravishingravi]

^Fair enough.

Yeah' date=' Tendulkar always walks after edging.[/quote'] Did you see the expression on Ponting's face? The edge was huge and his expression was like, what the heck you guys appealing for. I dont have issues with him not walking but the play acting was childish

[Midfielder]

I dont have issues with him not walking but the play acting was childish[/quote'] Yeah, being a weekend I've been watching the match. Can't see how people can be labeled as cheats based on facial expressions. Bottom line is no one walks after edging it. It's nuts to call people cheats for not walking.

[putrevus]

There are many times when there is feather of an edge batsman might not know if he nicked it or not. Ponting in this case and Clarke standing his ground when ball is caught by slip fielder of thick edge is cheating (Sydney 08 ) and on top of it both these guys want other batsmen to take their word when they are fielding.

[zub2006]

love hashim amla, when ever he edges it just walks, thats how it should be

[Sid]

Ponting what a unlucky fellow,you know your luck has run out when Khatmal picks up your catch :D

Because when you don't, it reeks of 'un-sportmanship' and reveals a lot about the extent you will go to just to get a win. Why do you think Sachin and even people like Gilchrist are/were held in such high regard? It's not just about their batting, but about them playing fair. And this isn't the first time Ponting has stayed on at the crease when he was clearly out. When you do it once you're an opportunist, but when you do so more often you are just an insecure lowlife who depends on cheapskate tricks to win a game.

[Sachin=GOD]

Ponting is such a cheat.........................whats new in this news :phehehe:

[NareshK]

He is definitely a cheat which has been proved many times but on top of that he is the most annoying cricketer I've seen in my life. I want to see someone slap him before he retires, which is not too long away.

[kabira]

He is hypocrite for sure. You can't expect him to walk can you?

[coffee_rules]

Maybe he didn't know. But he looks stupid campaigning for player's word on catches. But what a hyocrite. Maybe the loss of form is affecting his demeanor.
