Mumbai, October 21: Happy with the heavy sceurity cover around the Australian cricket team here, skipper Ricky Ponting today said he is impressed with the arrangements put in place for his side as it prepares for a gruelling seven-ODI series against India from October 25.
“We have been very impressed about the level of security we have had since we arrived. From the moment we stepped off the plane yesterday we have had excellent security,” Ponting told a media conference here today.
Praising the Indian Cricket Board for providing a tight security cordon, Ponting said this seemed to be part and parcel of international sporting events all over the world.
“You travel to different places in the world these days, security is quite heavy.
