Australian captain Ricky Ponting admitted India outplayed them in the one-day finals. A more graceful captain would also have admitted that India had out-behaved Australia all summer.Succinct punch indeed. It brings out several pertinent things such as:
- The Aussies were outplayed (duh)
- Ponting could be "more" graceful (though I agree that there might be slight disagreements over the extent of improvement possible - on a logarithmic scale, that is)
- Ponting could have admitted something more (bracketed text from (2) to be repeated here)
- India behaved much better than the Aussies
On a slightly tangential note, I have a nagging feeling that Hayden just didn't finish his sentence when talking to the radio station. May be had they asked him after the finals, he'dda said: (addtional quote italicized)
They are losing every game they are playing. Look at us. Since the year last, we decided that we only lose finals.
How ignorant!
