Ponting said his parents were forced to change their phone number following the anonymous calls criticising the captain.
"There were a few people who rang in the past few days, having a dig," Ponting was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.
He said it was disappointing for his parents to have to go through the ordeal.
Ponting and his side have come under fire in recent days after Indian captain Anil Kumble accused them of not playing in the ‘spirit of the game’ in the Sydney match, where the home side took a 2-0 lead in the four-match series.
The Australian captain rejected claims he and his world champion team were arrogant but said there were elements of his side's performance in the second Test that ‘in hindsight, you might do a little differently’.
"I don't think anyone wants the way Australia plays cricket to change," Ponting said.
"Everyone likes to see a tough, uncompromising brand of cricket. But if there are areas in our game to improve on, then obviously we need to address that."
Dear Waxer, thanks for your concern. We will definitely try to change our behavior sir so we could be more palatable in your eyes. Anything else we may do for you sir ? Shine your shoes maybe sir ? You kind concern for the image of us barbarians is very touching sir. We thank thee from the bottom of our hearts.
THe indian public must wake up and denounce these idiots who threaten a man and his family over a game and burn effergies. Otherwise you will never break free of the opinion the rest of the world has that you are a 3rd world backward country
If -- repeat, IF -- any Indian had called the Pontings and abused them, it is really disgraceful. BUT, -- repeat, BUT -- anything that Ponting says cannot be believed without independent proof.
THANK GOD!WE ARE THIRD WORLD.YOU BELONG TO WITCH WORLD?
