He calls himself gentlemanly but he is nothing but a scoundrel.
During a tour of India by australia a few years back, he was physically thrown out of a night club in kolkata by the attendants over there, due to his unscrupulous behaviour.
During a match against the kiwis one or two years back, when Chris Cairns was in full form and hitting sixes a lot, when Chris was dismissed, ponting , even though he was the captain , came up to him and mouthed a lot of obscenities at the departing Chris Cairns, even though Cairns, who is considered a gentle giant, never indulged in sledging at all in his stay at the wicket.
It was a sad sight to see Cairns, who is popular for his gentlemanly and sweet conduct , departing after the scene with ponting in sadness , with his dignity hurt.
Ponting and the aussies should be taught a lesson, and they should not be allowed to get away with propaganda on their so-called chivalrous conduct.
I really enjoyed the nervousness and strong discomfort in pontings face , in the 4th one dayer during the formal ceremony at the end of the game, which australia lost by 8 runs.
Nice to see the aussies 'bleed ', once in a while.

really a nice one, and we should let australia do the same thing in the future game,so i request all the indian players to do well and win the series and throw them out to australia itself. how many times india has lost to them, and after a long time we have won against them and that to with a little margin, even if they cannot digest this, then they are not a cricketer. aus go back better not to touch the indians in future. you scoundrels, no body is there in their team, except gilly, who is a good sportsman.
