When the other captains did this,they got banned by ICC but Ponting always skips this.

It is true ICC & its pannel umpires have no guts to do so they will give reply that he his shown displeasure which is not coming under their rules and regulation or less than what the others banned skipper had done. Reason will that champion never do wrong in what ever way

partiality

Answer 6

even i have noticed that- but we cant do anything- the reason is that australia is the no. 1 team in the world and the umpires think that they can do no wrong- remember clarke claiming a catch of ganguly when india toured australia......

Answer 7

ponting thinks himself as GOD OF CRICKET.....

he should be punished severely......for all the wrong acts he has done on the field.............and off it too!!!!!!!

Answer 8

Because he is ponting (poin - ting) towards the umpire and feels that his father owns the ICC...

Answer 9

He thinks ICC is owned by his dad.

Answer 10

Come on mate. Why is everybody after the poor Australians. Maybe they have skipped the line sometimes. Nowadays India too is playing aggressive cricket. Please tell me, Are u not loving it. Everybody like emotions on cricket field. Personally I love to see Australian style of Cricket. I don't want An Australian side which only let their Bat and Ball do the talking. Wasn't the recent series between Australia and India interesting. I would anytime skip Pakistan vs India to watch Australia vs India. What would you do?

Answer 11

Well he obviously didn't offend the umpire as much as the others did. There are degrees of dissent, and his must have been a lower grade offence. We didn't take our own umpires over there you know, so why bad mouth the ones who are doing a fair job.

Answer 12

Suggest you go check your facts before making a fool of yourself ;-)

Answer 13

We must ban ICC for racial Discrimination and accepting bribes.
