How fúcking good am I?
Instead what do we get from the inbred hairy armed Tasmanian reject? Well, firstly he blamed the WACA pitch for not deteriorating
“I think there’s certainly an advantage to batting second on this ground.”
Well here’s a brainwave Einstein, you won the fúcking toss, why did you choose to bat? I know you only play a match every four years but do you not at least follow the Sheffield Shield?
Next move, he blames the bowlers! Sure Lee, Krejza and Siddle claimed 3 wickets between them and need a barrage of uppercuts (especially bollywood Brett), but to neglect to mention the failures of the batsmen when Hayden, Hussey and Ricky himself scored 56 runs between them in 6 Innings deadset embarrassing.
“We have to look at that,” Ponting said after the defeat. “We have to think about the style of bowlers we’ve got in the side at the moment, with the conditions that we’re going to be confronted with in Melbourne and Sydney work out if we think they’re the best guys to win us the next two games. If they’re not then we have to make some changes.”
So, when did Ricky become a selector? Why no mention of the 5th day of defensive fields when we needed wickets to win the game, and how bout some batsmen who score runs?
Punter needs a media lesson from MP Vaughan on how to talk to the press for hours without saying anything. Ponting’s given one press conference and managed to slag off his senior players, his strike bowler and the pitch and appear ungracious to the Saffers. Three separate headlines in five minutes – cheers Ricky!

I know Punter has a lot on his mind and that a cluttered brain is resulting in his fading memory but…just last year Australia were batting second at the WACA when they lost to India.

In fact that was this year.

This current Ashes will be a true test of capitancy given the very average nature of both sides!
