Ravi stands by Ricky
Reprimanded and criticised for damaging a TV set inside the dressing room during a World Cup match at Ahmedabad, Australian skipper Ricky Ponting found a sympathiser in player-turned-commentator Ravi Shastri, who said such incidents are not new in international cricket.
"Everyone's human and the dressing-room has been the only place you can vent your feelings. You take out your frustrations and then it's over," he said.
Shastri defended Ponting over the incident, saying public disclosure of the matter represented a gross invasion of a player's right to privacy.
