The Australians played every other team off the park in the recently concluded World Cup but when it came to celebrating their third win in a row, they were apparently muscled off the ground by police officials. According to The Sydney Morning Herald , the celebrations turned sour when captain Ricky Ponting was allegedly 'shouldered' by a Barbados police officer for not leading his men off the Kensington Oval. It took an intervention by Andrew Symonds and orders from two high-ranking Caribbean police officials to defuse a potentially explosive situation.
