elbowgate: the repercussions...

by straight point

we all know ponting has taken 'give me my elbow space' to altogether new levels...

no wonder every player in the world is out to congratulate and thank him...for they too at some point or the other in their careers felt the need for some 'personal space'...but did not know how to approach it...

now they know what to do when someone invades their personal space even when on-field and once again it is shri shri ponting 2010 who has shown the way by putting his neck on the line...

but elbowgate has had its repercussions...already...

only yesterday when pakistani wickets were not falling... north was toiling aimlessly, before pak decided to give him the honor role, players wanted to ask ponting during the over breaks to take new ball... but didn't coz they feared invading his personal space...

cricket australia has announced the new seating patterns when they will discuss team selections and ponting will be seated in the tenth row with two rows front and back being left vacant to give him his much needed personal space... in fact talks of having the video conference whenever ponting is needed to discuss cricketing and team matters is also being looked into as a viable and feasible option...

from now onwards... ponting will address pre or post match press conferences alone... as coach... vice captain and team mates have refused to share podium space with him...

last heard... security officers have refused to provide ponting with 'close and tight security' on hearing the news... negotiations are on at ca headquarters as security is a highly sensitive issue these days but security officers are not giving in to the pressure unless ponting's elbows are strapped tightly to his back...

but most importantly... the elbowgate has led to some problems in ponting's marital life (for obvious reasons) but as this blog is about cricket...
