Ricky Ponting, writing in the Australian, outlines Australia’s philosophy of trying to win every game.
It is inconceivable to me that anybody would try to throw a game or be involved in fixing. I was completely shocked when I saw it on television and read the papers ...
It is the collateral damage that is most concerning to us and naturally the focus comes back to the Sydney Test. Not for one moment did any of us suspect that anything untoward or suspicious was happening as that game unfolded. It is interesting that it took a long time for suspicion to focus on that game. If it was that blatant you would have thought the allegations would have started straight away.
