The Daily Telegraph are really giving it to Ponting in todays paper about worrying more about getting suspended then winning the test.
Thats bit harsh IMO. I know thats its his fault that we got in to that situation in the first place but all this stuff about Ricky being selfish and worrying about a ban than a test win is crap.
So is it acceptable to only bowl 75 overs a day and accept a ban in order to win a test ? NO . Win , lose or draw you have to try to bowl the 90 overs. I would say its against the spirit of the game to do that.For example , if Aussies are only chasing 300 today. Dhoni might say , we only play England next match so I dont care if I get banned and only bowl 70 overs a day to save the game. Surely thats not acceptable.
PS - India not doing too well with overrates atm. 11 overs in 75 minutes this morning.
Pup gone......Aussies gone ??
