Veeru unbiased straight to the task :
“We'd have won the Sydney Test match if they hadn't claimed catches taken off half-volleys in that game” (Sydney 2008)
Ponting infuriated as if somebody has hit his weak nerve….
That's fairly insulting. In the first innings [at the SCG] I didn't claim a catch because I wasn't 100% sure. “
"It's amazing how they've picked out a lot of negatives from that game and don't seem to be speaking about the Perth Test [the third match of that series, which Australia lost], where we probably had the same things happen to us. Not one member of the Australian team has spoken about it. We go about our cricket in different ways. I'm not sure what they are trying to achieve. It was a Test we won, a crucial Test for the overall series. As I said at the time, it was one of the best moments I've had on a cricket field. To win the way we did was an outstanding effort by the team.”
Perhaps Ponting thought that the one tip catch is permissible in international cricket as well . Ricky dude, that’s Indian patent for street and backdoor cricket. Dint know that you guys would rob it out of us to win the Test by hook or crook. Anyways we for 2nd time broke your 16 win streak and no doubt we would gobble you up 3-1 (as per Sehwag) or 4-0 (as per Bhajji).
