Does this makes an Australian Feel proud in Cricket?

Question

Link 4 U  : http://bangaloreit.sulekha.com/blog/post/2008/01/we-have-bribed-the-sydney-umpires-ricky-ponting.htm

We have bribed the Sydney umpires: Ricky Ponting

He has been described as the worst thing to happen to global cricket since steve bucknor. Ricky Ponting is easily one of the most uncharismatic, foul mouthed and uncultured captain ever. In this exclusive interview with Rajcreep Sorefakeeye, Ricky admits that he and his team have actually bribed the umpires for the Sydney test.

RS: You and your boys behaved like a bunch of uncivilized freaks the other day. Do you have an iota of sportsman sprit in you? 
Ponting: I would rather win than be a good sport. Besides when you have paid the umpires a whopping amount to fix the game, you deserve to enjoy that extra bit.

RS: You mean you actually bribed the umps?      

Ponting: I would like to term it ‘match adjustment fee’. Actually we only bribed the first and third umpires. Steve bucknor agreed to do our bid for free as he hates India anyway. Infact he was ready to pay us for this. The third umpire was a bit more costly but finally agreed to our terms when we purchased him for the next series also. He was the one who came up with the brilliant idea to frame bhajji for the racial thing so that we could demoralize our opposition. After the hearing, he joined us at the local pub for a drinking binge and we footed the bill.   

RS: Aren’t you ashamed?
Ponting: What’s there to be ashamed and this is our natural game. We abuse players, push dignitaries off stage, cheat and indulge in all sorts of unethical and immoral behavior. How else do you think we can retain our position as the number one team in the world?  

RS: How did you get so much money for paying these bribes?

Ponting: Ha, that's a bigger joke. This is thanks to some traitors in India.

RS: Care to explain?

Ponting: You see many of our players are brand ambassadors for some traitorous Indian companies. So this time we decided to pool our endorsement money and create a corpus for bribing the umpires and use the same money against Indian team. (Starts laughing uncontrollably and falls of the chair). In hindsight, we should have also bribed the ICC and some former Australian cricketers also so that the whole thing would have gone smoothly.

RS: Anything else that we should know?

Ponting: you see we wouldn’t have stooped to these levels if it weren’t for the expectations that some people had from our team.

RS: Oh, so all this was for the fans?  

Ponting: No silly, I am referring to the bookies. These generous guys have fed and clothed our team and give us plenty of pocket money. They had asked us to ensure that we win at all costs. Besides, we had also invested some of our money in betting.  

RS: Why didn’t any of you shake hands with Anil after the Sydney test? He was waiting to congratulate you for the alleged win?
Ponting: Why should we? Besides we were too busy calculating the money we have won in that test. We won’t have anytime for civilities, that's for the weenies. Besides, I was busy answering the calls from bookies congratulating us for the win and that is more important for me.

RS: You have brought much disrepute to the game, your country and your people. You are leading a team of monsters who have no knowledge of the game ands its rules. You are nothing but a bunch of yellow-livered twinkees who couldn’t stitch a pyjama, even if your lives depended on it.

Ponting: Thanks, for all the flattery and we will definitely keep this behavior up. Infact calling us monkeys is an insult to that animal.

This has got to be the worst question in internet history irrespective of the topic.(very lame also)
I initially thought that Indian users only retaliate when an abusive query was posted against them but clearly by such questions they seem to be 10 times more racist (& pathetic) than anyone else.I really expected the authorities to delete such questions & permanently suspend such an untruthful & lame individual's account.
All this is obviously jealousy which goes back to the 2003 World Cup final.Before that most common Indians hadn't even heard of R.T.Ponting.But that final where he scored some 140 runs brought him in the limelight as his innings helped Australia post 359 which was too much for the Indians.
Instead of blaming the Indian bowlers for leaking runs the Indian media simply spread rumours that Ponting had a bat with steel sheets inside that helped him to propel the ball with more ease.The people too heard this (they too were stubborn to admit that the Indians bowled poorly) & hence solved all their anger  & doubts bt postulating that Ponting had cheated.This saga hasn't stopped till now & the question posted above is a continuation of the jealousy that still prevails among many Indian losers.

I'm a Kiwi living in Aussie and really love this country. I'm a proud Kiwi and understand exactly what you are implying, but there are a few points that you have factored that actually become stereotypical instead of points. Majority of what you point out is anything to do with every nationality. I've walked down George Street, Sydney on a late night and seen Australian's figthing for no apparant reason other that to prove who is better than the other, but then I've seen that with every race!!! The reason why Kiwi's come here to work and this aint no lie is because majority of your physical jobs are easier and paid 3 times more than what you get in NZ. Kiwi's have a reputation of being better workers when it comes to physical labour jobs and the down side is it's true. I've worked with alot of Australians and must say you are a lazy bunch of workers, but this doesnt mean everyone only a few hundred that I've seen. In sports it is alway a great occasion for Kiwi's to try and beat Aussies and the simply reason is because a lot of time we can. We don't have the big sports funded programs like Aussie, we are 3.5 mill in population which is the same numbers as Sydney and if you were to base sporting achievements on numbers per country NZ vs Australia, NZ has the outright lead for 2008. Lastly can I add to ensure you understand why Australia has it's reputation of be wingers, Last year in Jan/Feb 2008 there was a young lady who was born in NZ but moved to Australia when she was 2 or 3yrs old. She was now in her mid 20's and had her whole family over here. She had a criminal record as long as your arm. Australian officals decided to deport her to NZ as this was her country of birth due to her misbehaviour. Now in my view she is Australian as you get, she knew nothing of NZ and had all of her family in friends in Australia. You Claim Russel Crowe as an Australia who moved here when her was much old than this girl yet based on your points, you departed this young lady who you would classify to be Australian? This is why you have your reputation because you are a country of who you decide, NZ is a country of freedom for all (just not as well paid). Believe me if it wasn;t for your easy work life and better money I wouldn't be here for the scenes!!!! ZPersonally I have nothing against Australians or Australia, it's a great Country and offers alot, it's sometimes a shame that people like you live here and give it that nagging, wining reputation!!!

Bit wierd the wording of that seeing Ricky Ponting is Australian and no straight Australian male adult would use the term "No silly".  That term is not Australian and what you expect from trolls like you who try putting words in Ricky Pontings mouth.

For all members on this forum either you put up proper evidence of video where Ricky Ponting says these Indian terms you mention, or stop posting this rubbish.

Anyone who's read my comments knows I'm not a fan of Ponting (though I recognise his indisputable ability with the bat), but this question rates among the most pathetic I've come across.
