Melbourne, May 10 (PTI) Australian captain Ricky Ponting today hit out at Harbhajan Singh, saying that the Indian off-spinner has been unmasked by his attack on teammate S Sreesanth.
Ponting said people can now make their own judgment on Harbhajan after the slapping row since it involved his own teammate.

“The (slapping) incident was him dealing with a guy that he has probably played 20 Tests with,” Ponting, who had a brief stint with Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League during which the slap-gate took place, said.

“After this latest issue in India, I think people should be making their own judgments about Harbhajan. He has again done something wrong,” Ponting told ‘Herald Sun’.

The Sydney fiasco involving Harbhajan and Andrew Symonds is more than three months old but Ponting remained incredulous at how Harbhajan got off with a slap on the wrist after being charged with racially abusing Andrew Symonds.

Harbhajan was initially suspended for three Tests but after an appeal received a 50 per cent match-fee fine on a lesser charge.

“It certainly wasn’t the outcome that we expected. He ended up being fined 50 per cent of his match fee. As it is, I will cop a 20 or 30 per cent match-fee fine most one-day games because I am behind in the over rates,” Ponting said.
