Australian captain Ricky Ponting has complained about lax security after he was involved in a swearing match with a spectator during the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston.

As reported in KHALIDOSCOPE yesterday, English crowds have been heckling and jeering Ponting and other members of his team at Test venues, prompting Ponting to say he would be disappointed if Australian crowds abused a visiting Test skipper the way he has been incessantly booed.

Torrent of abuse
Ponting was walking off the ground after his dismissal when a fan subjected the captain to a torrent of abuse.
