Or is it the same as not walking after edging the ball ?

I read that Clarke has already claimed a grassed catch in the recent Chappel hadlee series and now Ponting. Maybe Clarke is taking the 'next captain' tag too seriously.
I know Latif was handed a 5 match ban! for this. Shouldnt the ICC apply these laws uniformly ? Or should this depend on what 'different' match refrees think ?
But should players face bans for doing this, considering they are all lying when they refuse to walk after edging to the keeper (not 1st slip).

Yeah and you should get 12 months for walking onto the ground with two right hand gloves

good to see with you agreeing that with current and future Australian captains claiming grassed catches it's about time we stop taking 'ANYONE's' word that they took the ball cleanly.
I do think 12 months in prison for time-wasting tactics a bit harsh. It's one of those decisions the match refree can easily make for himself. Though it's almost impossible to spot a fielding side wasting time.
