The Ponting-Martyn-Pawar incident

I did not watch the final of the champions trophy the other day. My cubicle, at work, is right next to the kitchenette and i could hear many heated discussions going on about an "incident". Well, curiosity did get the better of me and i too participated in those discussions with just the information gained from whatever i overheard from my cubicle!

Today, i came across the video of the actual "incident". Now, I understand the seriousness with which the discussions were held. Leave alone Pawar, any ordinary individual would feel offended by the actions of Ponting.

Yes, Ponting's team won the cup convincingly and they are happy about it, but this is no way to behave! Cricket has got its enough share of controversies and this is the latest one. But, this definitely deserves to be a controversy :-) You don't push Pawar around. He is the president of BCCI, the richest cricket board. Probably, a good time for BCCI to take over the cricketing world, act like NBA and relegate the Australians to ordinary cricket!
