Ashes 2009 | Ricky Ponting angry with England tactics

Australian Captain Ricky Ponting fumes and he has asked the England Team to play under the "Spirit of the Sportsmanship".The Ashes 1st Test has started really well and England players played really well to save the match.All credit goes to Paul Collingwood who played really well and the last wicket partnership James Anderson and Panesar for staging a remarkable partnership,but hold on for a second I need to mention about the awful and wicked tactics used by England to save the test.

England physiotherapist appeared on the field without players calling him.This did not happen once but twice just to while away time so that England could inch closer to a remarkable draw.This was not the only case since England 12th man made an uninvited appearance to the field just to while away the time.I feel these are cheap tactics by England.There was a huge sigh of relief and smirk in England camp after they staged a big comeback and managed to draw the first Ashes test.
