The Australian broadcasting company, Network 10, have been barred from shooting at any Australian cricket venues following the airing of Ricky Ponting and Graeme Smith's dispute in the recent second Test:
Cricket Australia public affairs manager Peter Young said the network and all its staff had had accreditation stripped for the rest of the summer and it would remain revoked at CA's "absolute discretion.
Ten had filmed Ponting and Smith engaged in a lively discussion inside the players' tunnel after Australia had claimed victory in the second Test at the MCG.
With Channel Nine holding the exclusive television rights to broadcast cricket in Australia, Young said non-rights holders such as Ten were not allowed to shoot inside venues.
