Absolutely true. Its ridiculous is complete stupidity that catching decisions are left to be decided by the fielding teams captain.
From cricinfo.com: "They were certain it was out, but Benson wasn't sure. He looked to Bucknor at square leg and then walked down the pitch and asked Ponting what he thought. "He caught it," Ponting seemed to say and put his finger up. Benson did the same. "
This is the worst form of umpiring. And how did ICC let this process get approved? If you are in doubt take the help of third umpire not Ponting.
