‘Hot’ Ponting smashes LCD television in anger

‘Hot’ Ponting smashes LCD television in angerStory abstract - Ricky Ponting and his spate of ‘rages’ is a well known and well documented fact. The Australian captain has done it again. In a fit of rage after being dismissed in the opening match against Zimbabwe, Ponting allegedly broke the LCD television set inside the player dressing room at Motera in Ahmedabad

Looks like Ricky Ponting is simply unable to come to terms with the fact that this Australian team is not a hard nut to crack by any stretch of imagination. And that is why the Australian Skipper has been going around cracking other objects within his reach. If information coming in from Gujarat Cricket Association sources is to be believed, Ponting smashed an LCD television, apparently in a fit of anger, in the team's dressing room here after he was run out against Zimbabwe.

The incident took place immediately after Ponting was run out yesterday by a direct hit from deep wicket by Zimbabwe's Chris Meofu in the Group A clash between the two teams. The captain was run out on 28.

GCA said they have informed about the incident to the Australian cricketing authorities. However, when contacted Australian media manager Lachy Patterson said he was not aware of any such incident. GCA officials said that they would be meeting today to decide on further action in this connection.
