With good reason - he's just not much cop at this stage.It's a bad example because Roach isn't in the team
Come on, the party line is that the Windies are a side on the way back up. Roach, Rampaul, Edwards, Sammy, Bishoo, Russell... there's almost a decent attack in there. Now if they could just produce some wickets with some bounce in them.When is the next time Ponting faces a good bowling line-up again? West Indies are next apparently, so more average boasting there. Does he have a clear run until the Ashes?

Interesting - had to look that idiom up - in NZ my friends say not much chop.With good reason - he's just not much cop at this stage.
Thing is, a lot of people think he's a bit of a **** in case you weren't aware.I have never understood why people are hurt when Ponting scores runs. Its like they take it personally as if they were the bowler getting belted.
I beat the **** out of my wife upon hearing the news.I have never understood why people are hurt when Ponting scores runs. Its like they take it personally as if they were the bowler getting belted.
Fidel Edwards must be close. Still averages close to 40, doesn't he?Roach is pretty much the most over-rated sportsman of all time.
He's way more exciting to watch than Roach, gets some ***c outswing. Roach's bowling isn't actually much to look at.Fidel Edwards must be close. Still averages close to 40, doesn't he?
Darren Sammy is probably close to being the most underrated.Roach is pretty much the most over-rated sportsman of all time.
I think Australia are facing South Africa end of this year.When is the next time Ponting faces a good bowling line-up again? West Indies are next apparently, so more average boasting there. Does he have a clear run until the Ashes?
It does not matter really. He already has 41 test centuries, and probably going to score a few more. He probably could not care less.I have never understood why people are hurt when Ponting scores runs. Its like they take it personally as if they were the bowler getting belted.
there's a 6 or so month test match break after the WI. The good/bad news for you is, the first 3 tests after the break are against SA, in Aus on the Gabba, Waca and Adl (iirc, hobart is the only other option. In Nov-Dec). The good/bad news, straight after it it's 3 tests against SL. And then rather oddly we're playing 4 tests in India in Feb/Mar. and then ashes time. There's two stand alone 5 match OD series' in that 6 month break. One in England, one in the UAE against Pakistan.When is the next time Ponting faces a good bowling line-up again?

Ooh that will be interesting.. CW would be an awesome place to be during that timeAnd then rather oddly we're playing 4 tests in India in Feb/Mar. and then ashes time. T.
