Zaheer Charged - what about Ponting or Chris Broad?

Zaheer Khan,has been charged by the ICC match referee Chris Broad for his send-off of Matthew Hayden during Australia's second innings at Mohali.

This is down right silly. To me it just looked like a keyed up player (Hayden had waded into Zaheer's bowling) winding down. I would go as far as to categorize it as similar to Ponting's going on about Sehwag's escape. (He was give not out despite a snick which could be heard in Chennai.)

How about someone charging Chris Broad for speaking out of turn about Rudi Koertzen? It would do good to remember that the decision involved an Indian player. Surely, it can viewed as a case of someone over reaching his brief.
