what England have dfone is NOT wrong.
Honestly, what a bit of sour grapes. I remember when Lillee was nearing the end of his run he woudl be off the field after every bowling stint. It was the 81 series i think. It's been going on for ages. England have just refined the process by not using the local trundler. It is within the rules and it is disappointing that Ponting is taking this stance. I hope there are no other excuses. No-one said the Aussie penchant for sledging which even many Australian commentators despised, was killing the opposition. Though that was REALLy against the spirit of cricket. They saw it as something to be overcome. Well, I did anyway. All is fair if it's in trhe rules, surely. It;s called professionalism.
