All he has done is thrown a box. It has hit a wall, bounced onto the back of the television which affected the vision on the TV," team media manager Lachy Patterson was quoted as saying by 'The Australian'.<br /><br />"He apologised immediately for it, spoke to the team manager and that's where the issue finished," he added.<br /><br />However, Gujarat Cricket Association secretary Rajesh Patel maintained that he would lodge a complaint with the BCCI. "We will complain to the BCCI ... we will send a photo of the TV also," Patel was quoted as saying. <br /><br />"Ricky Ponting is the team captain and it's not good for the Australian team for the captain to behave this way," added Patel.<br /><br />Ponting was run-out by a direct hit from Chris Mpofu in the Group A clash which Australia won by 91 runs.
