I borrowed this from a recent article by Prem PanickerMany people might not have read that, so I am re-writing it here. Have a look at the image on the left. Ponting appealed right after this. That the umpire did not give Dhoni out was another matter. But as a captain, shouldn't Ponting be penalized for setting an incorrect precedent. As per ICC Code of Conduct, this amounts to unfair play and a level-three offence. Other captains have been penalized in the past on this evidence. Rashid Latif is a case to remember. So how is Ponting any different? And the most interesting part is, the match refree who banned Rashid Latif was none other that Mr. Mike Proctor.

Absolutely - He needs to be banned. He has no business to talk about his integrity for the game. And look at what examples are set - Andrew Symonds being caught clearly in the Sydney test does not walk away but waits for umpire's decision.
