Ponting preferred to stand his ground even when he knew he had edged the ball, but preferred to stand his ground, till the umpire confirmed he was out. He later reconfirmed that he preferred to wait as he had never been a walker. That is the way the gentlemen of Australia always address the game. His principles are pretty clear,- you can be a murderer only if you are caught for murder.
Not surprising why Australia seems to a microcosm of the world at large. From foreign students to cricket, they set the standards. And their standards are always right. Why? Because they say so.
