    Ponting, who could have been banned for a Test for the slow over-rate, subsequently came under severe criticism for his tactics.

    Hayden, however, admitted over-rates have always been a problem for Australia.

    "We've had trouble with our over rates for a long time now. It's not just us in international cricket that seems to struggle with it for whatever reason," Hayden said.

    Third World IndiaBy: Alex | 13-Apr-2009 Reply | Forward India is third world and will forever be I was born in the EU and of Australian descent. India is one of the filthiest useless failed 4th world countries in the world. Indians cant take the facts that the Aussie cricket team is among the richest in the world and the best team it will forever be. India will be third world forever. Australia and the EU is 1000 years ahead of india. I agree a lot of Matthew Hayden hes got it in one! India has 80% of its population living under $2USD PPP a day.
    gen.By: Canadian | 27-Apr-2009 Reply | Forward there are no free lunches in 1st, 2nd or 3rd world. We have to earn our bread by working hard. So, these classifications don't really matter.
    hayden i love uBy: unnikrishnan | 05-Feb-2009 Reply | Forward helo mr hayden........ u say that india is a third world country
    You don't even knowBy: Koptwan Indernaz | 19-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward So, we now know two things - posters here don't understand what 'racist' means or what "Third World" means. It's not racist to call India Third World. It's an economic term. Racism is related to race, not how economically developed a country is. Anyone from the developed world is shocked at the poverty, miserable infrastructure and desperate living circumstances of most Indians. Most Indians have never been on a airplane, let alone lived in developed country. Most Indians don't even know how bad India actually is. And how the Third World label fits like a glove.
    Third world.By: PSS | 20-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward So, how does it matter, if we are an underdeveloped, poor, third world country? I does not. What matters is, we SPANKED the aussie team. Heh heh heh. Let me spend a moment and savor the pleasure here, again. The aussies left the sub continent with their tail between their legs. Understandbly, its started wagging once they reached the safe havens of their home. By the way, if you want to be SPANKED yet again, by a third world country, come on over, we shall be only too happy to do it. For, third world or not, we are a better cricket playing nation. Heh heh heh !
    Get your eyes testedBy: mischa | 19-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Who said we are the first world, moron. But can say for sure australia is not 1st nor 2nd nor 3rd world but a backward world. Yes that is a new term .Well u wont understand as u are an idiot
