On Sunday, after winning their maiden Champions Trophy in Mumbai, Australia showed they are not exactly polite off it too. To begin with, as the closing ceremony drew to a close, Ricky Ponting waved his fingers at BCCI president Sharad Pawar, signalling him to come and hand over the winners' trophy. It may or may not have been in jest but Pawar had the decency to just laugh and ask Ponting to step forward instead to complete the formalities. But the story didn't end there. As the Aussies celebrated exuberantly, the stage was set for the victory photograph. However, even as the players were taking positions for the cameras, Damien Martyn tapped at Pawar - who happened to be standing there - and literally pushed him out of the stage. Pawar walked away quietly, not showing any hurt or anger. The rude 'nudge', not surprisingly, didn't go unnoticed. India's cricket darling Sachin Tendulkar was the first to term it unpleasant. "It was totally uncalled for. I didn't really watch the proceedings as I was travelling, but from what I heard (from others), it was an unpleasant experience," he told reporters, on the sidelines of a promotional event here on Monday. "First, it should not have happened. It's important to show respect to elders, especially to someone who is so dear to the cricketers. To someone who is involved with cricket. Such incidents should be avoided," he added. Pretty soon it all burst out in the open. Former cricketers and officials were quick to attack the 'haughty' Australians. |
