on why ponting is the ultimate saviour of rules and spirit of the game.

"They can play whatever way they want to play. We came to play by the rules and the spirit of the game. It’s up to them to do what they want to do."

ponting meant every word of it...for the first time i truly believed what he said...

for the simple reason that he once even sacrificed australia's possible win against india to complete 90 overs assigned for the day...he did it just to play the game by the rules and the spirit...

tho it's another matter that some neckheads still beleive that he did so to protect his head being chopped off for couple of games...the 'truth' can't be further than this...
