The Australian team held an extraordinary meeting with players, reinforcing their pledge to the spirit of cricket in a bid to restore their battered image, a report in the Herald Sun on Sunday said.Leadership guru Ray McLean also attended the meeting, it was reported.Australia drew flak from media, fans and many former players for not playing the game in the true spirit.Questions were raised on their sportsmanship as they claimed catches, which were not and did not show honesty when they themselves were out clearly.Michael Clarke, who acted as protagonist in the ill-tempered Sydney Test by waiting too long for the umpire's decision even after offering a clear catch and later claiming a doubtful low catch, praised Ponting for taking the initiative.One of Ricky's greatest strengths is that he always seems to bring things to the forefront, and he always seems to address the team when it needs to be addressed,"
