The recent cricket controversies have shaken Australian skipper
Ricky Ponting from inside. His biggest moment in Sydney test turned out
to be his worst nightmare. In an interview to Sydney's The Daily
Telegraph, Ponting revealed that his parents have been forced to change
their telephone number after receiving abusive calls.
According to Ponting, his family was under tremendous pressure amid
calls for his sacking. A number of people called his parents in the
past few days to take a dig on Ponting and his attitude. Severe
criticism from all quarters forced Ponting to admit that there could be
areas in which his team could improve.
Ponting also said that he wanted Australian team members to be
"remembered as being good people as well as great cricketers".
According to latest reports, the Australia team would re-watch
highlights of the Sydney Test to make sure that some of the "arrogant"
behaviour that outraged even their own countrymen is not repeated again.
