After finding no sympathy from their cricket board over alleged racial abuse, Ponting is asking the ICC to intervene.
It is high time Ponting stopped complaining about alleged slurs and start concentrating on playing cricket. Not only has it become tiresome, but it is also taking the sheen away from their dominance.
The Australians have played a great game and are definitely far superior. However, as ambassadors of Cricket and as representatives of Australian culture and society they are a poor advertisement.
Mr.Ponting, it is time for you to understand that your constant harping about alleged racial slurs is doing this great game a disservice.

I guess my concern with no action being taken is that it sets a bad precedent. Pakistan is taking a proactive approach to the crowd making racist comments, whereas India appears to be ignoring the problem.
I am worried that the Australian crowds will taunt the Indian players with monkey calls all summer, and use as justification the fact that India sees nothing wrong with it.
A difficult situation all-round.
You hit the nail on the head.
I too feel all this is going to incite the Australian crowds.
About the monkey chants, I feel it is a mistaken concern.
I sincerely doubt whether our spectators are sophisticated enough to use monkey chants.
However, racial abuse per se should be roundly condemend.
