Ponting slams umpires for not calling no-balls: Don't think they are looking anymore

Ricky Ponting on Sunday called attention to the on-field umpires, saying that they had not been noticing the clear no-balls during the Adelaide Test, which even cost India a wicket. The former Australian captain's remarks were in reference to the incident when Ishant Sharma trapped Aaron Finch leg-before but was later found to have overstepped the line on replays. "I've said this for a lot of years; I honestly don't think the umpires look at the front line anymore," Ponting told cricket.com.au. Ponting also said that the Indian camp would be right to feel disappointed with the umpiring, as if they had pointed out Ishant's no-balls earlier, it would not have cost them a wicket.
