So let's all be gay and kiss each other on the cheeks because we feel like it.

Ponting probably is not used to this custom and has his vote in what he says and how he acts. Also, there isnt a lot of point replying to a comment posted a year ago :).

itslateagain: Yet when a bloke tried to kiss him in India, he reeled off like he'd just been hit in the face. In some cultures to kiss someone on the cheek is a norm. On ya Ponts! What a spokesman! real understanding of the world, or did he do this to make himself feel good??? He's racist scum and has no place promoting such a cause.

Aussies are dirty convict untouchables who were forcibly deported from England. I know Aussies, that hurts you deeply, but it the truth. Who cares if a convict is good in a sport, you are still inferior!
