The across the board feedback of Australia's cricket culture following a month ago's ball-altering outrage in South Africa is somewhat misrepresented, previous chief Ricky Ponting said on Thursday.
Cricket Australia (CA) has slapped year bans on Steve Smith and David Warner, while suspending Cameron Bancroft, who was found utilizing a bit of sandpaper on the ball in the Cape Town test, for nine months following the debate which shook cricket in Australia.
The aftermath incited Darren Lehmann to venture down as the mentor while many, including South Africa mentor Ottis Gibson, felt Australia paid cost for their win-no matter what mindset.
"The social issue for me is extremely a fascinating thing," Ponting, head mentor of the Delhi Daredevils group in the Indian Premier League (IPL), told a news meeting.
"Since in the event that we wind the clock back only two or three months, when Australia won the Ashes as they did, there was no discussions about social issues or issues at all," he said.
"I sincerely feel on this event the social stuff that has been talked about has most likely been dramatically overemphasized to a specific degree."
Australia's two-time World Cup winning chief said he was "stunned" by the contention.
"As Australians, we get a kick out of the chance to play the amusement hard, we get a kick out of the chance to play the diversion reasonable. Fans anticipate that the Australian player will play that way," he included.
"I think the response back in Australia was as large as it was on the grounds that the Australian open felt the Australian players had not played the diversion reasonably."
The Australian Cricketer's Association (ACA) has scrutinized the seriousness of the CA disciplines however the trio have acknowledged their authorizations.
"There's a major picture there for the world diversion's purpose and Cricket Australia, I think, have responded to what the world amusement practically requested," Ponting said.
"The world diversion and the Australian open requested that these players were managed and treated unquestionably."
He was satisfied, in any case, that the contention was at long last fading away.
"It really is great for cricket in Australia... Since the test arrangement is finished, the folks have fourteen days to make tracks in an opposite direction from everything and after that begin reconstructing what has kind of crumpled for them in the course of the most recent few weeks."
