Vocabulary
As close to a single voice as possible, to confront as one
While Ponting played for the Kolkata Knight Riders for just the inaugural edition of the IPL, Warne and Gilchrist led Rajasthan Royals and Deccan Chargers this year.
By the time of argument, Ponting had been paid out of his contract with the Sourav Ganguly-led side but he still wanted to be cautious.
"I left the meeting annoyed that we wouldn't be confronting this security situation with as close to a single voice as possible, and hoping that next time we face a major issue we can confront it as one, like we did in days gone by, rather than be split by competing interests," Ponting wrote.
Please explain to me the highlighted parts.
