He called KP a monkey. No idea what he said to the ump though

Should Ricky Ponting cop a ban?

Ponting should be banned straightaway. Bill Lawrie came the closest to calling it what it was...rest played it safe and diplomatic... but it is this sort of behaviour that allows Ponting to behave like that on the field and get away with it. He has done this before..pointing fingers and getting away..and he will most likely get away this time aswell

I havent seen Broad behave like that with an umpire. Throwing the ball at a batsman is quite bad..but behaving like that with an umpire takes it to a new level

I sadly think that Brumby's prediction is not cynical but not pragmatic. In relation to the series outcome, obviously Ponting is the kind of player who can turn it round anytime but I'm not remotely worried about whether he does or does not play at Sydney. I just think he shouldn't be allowed to play there.

I voted fine & suspension...but I only really went for the suspension so we could get a new face in for Sydney.

I lol'ed.
Originally voted just a fine, but after watching Sky replay the incident in full from start to finish, including going over to Tony Hill after he'd got fed up with Dar, I think it deserves a suspension.
He also has 4 previous citations for dissent, not sure if that will factor into any punishment or not.

May be his way out, though he will have to miss a few one dayers instead as i presume he will carry on until the World Cup.
Disgraceful behaviour. Hope they throw the book at him.

Reckon that if CA is starting to have thoughts about giving Ricky a tap on the shoulder, this could well provide the impetus for them. Yesterday I would've said that he'd be playing on and captaining after the Ashes for sure, but given that he's averaging 15, is about to lose the Ashes at home, and for the third time overall, and has now just made a dick of himself in front of 70,000 at the MCG, the bloke must be on pretty thin ice.

So he should be. He's right to keep himself out of any speculation on selections.

Good to see the bloke cares so much tbh - he's got plenty of mitigation given the course the match has taken - he ought to apologise to the umpires and that should be the end of it

Not sure if you're being ironic or not, Mr f...?
Maybe I'm getting sanctimonious in my old age but I thought it was indefensible myself. To my way of thinking if the technology supports the umpire (and it seemed to more or less conclusively) haranging the chap just seems like petulance and shouldn't have any place in cricket.
