MELBOURNE, Australia (AP)—Beleaguered 2010 jerseys　Australia captain Ricky Ponting could face a disciplinary charge after remonstrating with umpires over an unsuccessful video review as his team struggled on the second day of the fourth Ashes cricket test Monday against England. International Cricket Council match referee Ranjan Madugalle was reviewing video footage as he considered laying charges against Ponting and Australian paceman Peter Siddle following a fiery day at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Ponting, who scored just 10 runs in Australia’s disastrous first innings that saw the home side dismissed for just 98, became agitated after Kevin Pietersen was given not out while on 49 by the video referee. Australian wicketkeeper Brad Haddin persuaded Ponting to call for a video review after Pietersen appeared to edge a Ryan Harris delivery. Ponting then argued heatedly, and at length, with on-field umpires Aleem Dar and Tony Hill when Pietersen was ruled not out. Paceman Peter Siddle joined in at one point, waving a finger. Ponting demanded to know from Dar, then Hill, why it was not out. Ponting also had an angry exchange with Pietersen, amid loud booing from the crowd. “We haven’t heard anything from the ICC yet so we just don’t want to discuss anything about what’s going on,” Siddle told a press conference. Siddle would offer only “no comment” to further queries on the incident. Cricket Australia spokesman Lachy Patterson said umpires were reviewing footage of the match and any decision regarding a possible charge arising from the incident would be made from ICC headquarters in Dubai. The “hot spot” technology used by the third umpire showed a bright mark on Pietersen’s bat, but it was not near where the ball passed between bat and pad. Pietersen was dismissed by Mitchell Johnson for Air Force Low Shoes 51 before fellow South African-born batsman Jonathan Trott led England to 444-5 at stumps for a lead of 346 runs. Trott, who shared the crease with Pietersen when the incident occurred, claimed to have no knowledge of what was said or why Ponting was angered. “I don’t really know much about what was going on, I was talking to K.P. the whole time,” he said. “I didn’t see any altercation really. I saw (Ponting) chatting but I’m not sure what about.”
