A captain sets an example for his players, and unfortunately, over the years the Aussies have shown that they need to be shown the right way when it comes to their behaviour.Ayush Trivedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172484355139580612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33518081.post-1163388371796650232006-11-13T14:26:00.000+11:002006-11-13T14:26:00.000+11:00The captain's job is to lead a team to victory. No...The captain's job is to lead a team to victory. Not PR crapping or sucking up to the Indian media/players (like say Gilchrist) Such rude behavior can be overlooked if Ponting continues to be the winning captain.Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806235091827397495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33518081.post-1163377743785060352006-11-13T11:29:00.000+11:002006-11-13T11:29:00.000+11:00@ I: Waugh, Border and Taylor may have exhibited v...@ I: Waugh, Border and Taylor may have exhibited varying degrees of skill on the field, but they also displayed tact and a respect for protocol off it. <BR/><BR/>Screw tradition and protocol, your third-world angst angle doesn't hold up either. It is (or should be) common human decency to show more respect to an individual than was shown to Pawar. To hide behind the "irreverent" Aussie culture is nothing more than a hypocritical cop-out. Then again, we are all hypocritical, aren't we?<BR/><BR/>Ponting is still a shame to his country.Ayush Trivedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172484355139580612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33518081.post-1163362109832323742006-11-13T07:08:00.000+11:002006-11-13T07:08:00.000+11:00Duh, mate.

Border was not exactly known for his "manners". And for most of his tenure, he was not a great skipper. Ponting is more in the mold of Ian Chappell, a die-hard competitor. That he was "rude" is really not a big deal. People have a right to not conform to other people's version of "gentlemanly". He does his job as a batsman and a winning captain.<BR/><BR/>That Tendulkar won't do such a thing doesn't mean he doesn't want to do it. Third Worlders hate the Anglo-Saxons enough to burn them alive. All this self-righteous outrage is hypocrisy in itself. Not that there's anything wrong with hypocrisy, at all.Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806235091827397495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33518081.post-1163327485670677462006-11-12T21:31:00.000+11:002006-11-12T21:31:00.000+11:00That indeed was a sticky pointing by Ricky ponting...That indeed was a sticky pointing by Ricky ponting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33518081.post-1163323710388732992006-11-12T20:28:00.000+11:002006-11-12T20:28:00.000+11:00@ Sportsnob: Thank you for your kind thoughts.
