Australian captain Ricky Ponting might have received a lamentable decision to be out for a first-ball duck in Saturday's 51-run loss to New Zealand but he wasn't complaining.
His wicket, caught off his helmet from Shane Bond's bowling, lifted New Zealand after its own disappointing batting effort and gave it the confidence it had lacked in recent games.
But Ponting said he talked on Thursday night about getting the benefit of luck when he could have been out leg before wicket, so he said he wasn't going to comment on Saturday's dismissal.
"That's the game, isn't it?" he said.
"Probably the disappointing thing tonight was we probably had a couple in our top four or five that went against us. That's the game. The umpires are out there doing the best they can as well like us as players so you've just got to get on with it and try and fight your way back into the game."
He said when Voges was dismissed Australia was 4-70 and behind the eight ball. It needed a good stand from Michael Hussey and James Hopes and while they did a good job it wasn't enough on the night.
Ponting didn't think the loss would create momentum one way or other for either side heading into the two-Test series. There were several personnel changes likely for both sides so he didn't believe in the momentum theory.
"Full credit to New Zealand for the way they played, particularly on the bowling side of things they had probably a lot more discipline and executed better tonight than they had probably for the entire series," he said.
Ponting didn't think the pitch had been significantly different than others in the series and his batsmen felt it was fine, although New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori felt the pitch slowed up during the Australian innings.
Ponting also said that key bowler Mitchell Johnson had bowled as well as ever during the series.
"It's not as if he has gone for 20-30 every time but if you look at the way he has executed things his skills are just spot on at the moment," he said.
"Every time you give him the ball he runs in, normally a bit of a sign with bowlers is if they can land the first one where they want to and pretty much every time Mitch's first ball has been right on the money and he's continued that through pretty much his entire spells and picked up important wickets for us in most games."
