Ravi Shastri backs Australian skipper

Former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri on Saturday supported Ricky Ponting over the dressing room fiasco by saying such incidents are nothing new in cricket.


"Everyone's human and the dressing room has been the only place you can vent your feelings. You take out your frustrations and then it's over. Far worse has been done than broken televisions," the former India player said.




"But as far as an official hanging around dressing rooms is concerned, I say very clearly there is no way he would have had a sniff of the dressing room in our day," he said.

Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) registered a complaint with the BCCI after Ponting smashed an LCD television set in the dressing room during his side's World Cup opener against Zimbabwe.
