Ponting’s apology to Gillespie

Melbourne: Australian captain Ricky Ponting has apologised if he lacked compassion when seamer Jason Gillespie was axed from the side during its unsuccessful 2005 Ashes defence.

Gillespie, nick-named ‘Dizzy’, was dropped before the fourth Test at Trent Bridge and the speedster felt he deserved a better treatment from his skipper.

“There was no, ‘bad luck, mate’ or pat on the shoulder, which confirmed for me that I no longer had the support of my captain,” 71-Test veteran Gillespie writes in his autobiography, Dizzy.

“If I have let him down I apologise for that, but I was trying to look after 17 players in the Ashes squad. If I have overlooked something, I apologise,” Ponting said. — PTI
