Yep. What happened is Anderson changed his gloves, then in the next over spilled a drink on his new gloves so needed another new pair. Because the dressing room didn't know what he wanted (they would assume it wasn't gloves), they sent out the twelfth man and physio. Nothing sinister there, just a little confusion.
It wouldn't have mattered whether there was anything sinister or not, Ponting is a cry baby who would have whined anyway... that's what he does. I recall a game in India where the Indians were fast chasing down the Oz total, and every time their batsmen hit a four/more than one, Ponting looked as if he was going to burst into tears.
In that test, Ponting tried to force a draw by holding up his bowlers with long tactical discussions, between and during overs, thus slowing down the over rate in a game where the result may very well have been affected by bad light. So yeah, I find his whining in this instance not only hypocritical, but also a case of sour grapes.
BTW: India went on to win that game comfortably and Australia was fined part of its match fee for a slow over rate... so yeah, it's a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
