Hej Mani,

With ICMP it works a bit different as with UDP/TCP.
With ICMP matching you are indicating the TYPE of
packet. In the case of a ping, ICMP type echo-reply
will be a response to an ICMP echo packet.
With UDP/TCP you are indicating a port number ("eq
www" is nothing more than "eq 80"). Traffic one way is
targetting port 80, and the return traffic comes from
port 80. Also notice the missing "eq" keyword, because
we are not matching portnumbers.

Also have a look at the following cisco output:

access 103 permit icmp any ?
  A.B.C.D Destination address
  any Any destination host
  host A single destination host

and:

access 103 permit icmp any any ?
  <0-255> ICMP message type
  administratively-prohibited Administratively
prohibited
...
  echo Echo (ping)
  echo-reply Echo reply
...

You cannot enter the ICMP packet type after the first
any. Hope this helps.
