Ricky ponting

[slippy888]

a 3 time world cup winner this guy does not get the respect he really deserve, for me he up there with the great sportsman of all time.

Let's revisit this:

A poem:

Ricky Ponting is the best cricketer
He is one day and test cricketer

Who's better Ponting or Lara?
Pontiing's better, bad is rest cricketer

When Lara went to Auntralia
Ponting defeated the west cricketer

When Ponting went to play with him
Lara defeated by guest cricketer

Ponting had really great abilities
So those who hate him, hate abilities

skills are for greats and hence he has
power to dispatch to fence, he has
every thing of cricketing sense, he has

First the settlement, he would let that be done
then big scores, he would get that be done

Indeed he was a good player
In world, an understood player
To be Continued...

Edit:Never misunderstand me, I'm only 14

First the settlement, he would let that be done

Always knew he was a colonial racist.

He was amazing against short ball.. Devastating pull shot! Was never a fan of him while he was playing because of bad boy persona.. However, has been a class act as a commentator.

The true greatness is in rhyming "14" with continued.

[The Rock]

Brilliant batsman. Always came across as a bit of a tool to me though.

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

5 th best Australian batsman after Don, Trumper, Chappell and Smith.

7th greatest ODI batsman after Sachin, Viv, AB, Kohli, Dhoni and Lara.

Let's revisit this:

And people say "does not get the respect he really deserves". Which other cricketer has a poem of this quality written on him?

 

[karan_fromthestands]

“Ponting had really great abilities
So those who hate him, hate abilities

skills are for greats and hence he has,
power to dispatch to fence, he has,
every thing of cricketing sense, he has

outstanding writing

“Ponting had really great abilities
So those who hate him, hate abilities

skills are for greats and hence he has,
power to dispatch to fence, he has,
every thing of cricketing sense, he has
ability to behave like a tool, he has”

This "he has" rhyming is great, can CWers keep adding on to this?

he the white micheal jordon

 

[TheJediBrah]

Dramatic turn around going from angry short-man punching ****s at bars to one of the most insightful commentators and knowledgeable coaches. Like a lot of sporting prodigies I think he matured a lot later than he should have

Think I read somewhere that he didn't get his license until his 20s

Think I read somewhere that he didn't get his license until his 20s

Might explain why he nearly ran me over on the internal road which runs behind the SCG nets with Mike Hussey in the passenger seat while on his way to a net session ahead of the ROW XI test in 05/06.

That or he just didn't like me. Which is also fine.

Is that him throwing the ball at an injured smith from short cover

 

[Burgey]

You’d hope so

 

[TheJediBrah]

that was pathetic.

Should have thrown it harder, wouldn't even have broken another finger at that pace
