Should Ponting be banned from cricket for using the illegal bat?

[pietersenrocks]

I think he should be banned from cricket for 2 years 'coz he is using a illegal bat from the last 1 year to score runs.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Purely because of how much it'd make me laugh, I'm all in favour.

 

[Langeveldt]

Yeah, I mean who would buy a bat with a cartoon on it, what a farce

You are right 'coz if he is a great batsman then why does he have to play with a illegal bat.

 

[grecian]

ban him, ban Mcgrath too for being a miserable git, and Warne for sleeping with more women then me.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

What illegal bat? I thought all bats were legal in Australia except some species of Fruit Bat which can carry rabies.

If you're English you'd probably want this to go ahead.

i'm disappointed by lack of third option like many of your threads!

 

[silentstriker]

McGrath, that *******, is way more accurate than me. BAN HIM, I SAY!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I voted yes, but I don't think a 2 year ban is enough really. I think he should recieve a lifetime ban, and a two year jail sentence.

Seriously though, the bat was legal when he used it. It was not different from any other bat in any significant way.

I suggest a beating with the graphite bat. That'd be ironic, what with the bat being illegal and all

I think we've done okay against him over the years really, he's not scored mountains.

Anyway this is nonsense.

 

[silentstriker]

I think he should be flogged publically once for every run he scored with the graphite bat.

i like the way you think

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Haha, 7-2 in favour of yes. What would a casual visitor to the site think of us?

 

[pinchy81]

Aussiebashers?

 

[BoyBrumby]

He's history's greatest monster!

 

[UncleTheOne]

Surely superhero's are illegal as well. Ban Flintoff!!!

 

[PhoenixFire]

I voted no, but then realised how funny I'd find it if he was banned so I changed my mind. Yes.

Why stop there? Hanging, drawing and quartering is much underused nowadays for mine.
