Ricky Ponting and the Australian team can be compared to George Bush and the American government. Because they are the dominant force within the world of cricket they think that they can get away with anything. Like the Americans they consider themselves above everyone else, which is shown in their blatant disregard for others and thier obvious double standards. It also does not help the Australians cause that like the Americans they are led by a self centred and sometimes childlike leader.
