Ishant Sharma Banned For Next 3 Tests

Ishant Sharma, the 19 years old seam bowler of Indian cricket team, has been banned for 3 Tests, an ICC (International Cricket Council) spokeswoman said in a statement after a 2 hour long closed door meeting attended by captains and coaches of India and Australia.

Ishant Sharma committed the same grave mistake that Harbhajan Singh (India's spin bowler) made a few days back -- He took Ricky Ponting's wicket in both innings of the recently concluded Perth Test match which India had the audacity to win (ICC will consider some punishment for this case of 'collective audacity' shown by the Indian team, in another meeting on Tuesday).

Ricky Ponting leads the Australian Team and, as both ICC and the Australian media noted, he is 'the undisputed cricketer with integrity in the game of cricket' and should never be made to fall by the same bowler twice in same match.

Sharma even had the audacity of saying "It feels great to get him (Ricky Ponting) out twice in the same match" in front of TV camera, which millions of viewers watched and took into their hearts a bad impression about the fallibility of the Australian skipper.

Lalchand Rajput, the acting Indian coach told SatireIndia,"Yes. I admit that I failed to instruct the team of the consequences of such an act. We are making sure no other bowler makes the same mistake again."
