Ricky Ponting shows true colors

Australians would have several egos being hit hard after their semi-final loss to India in the recently concluded T20 World cup. Ponting says that Indians have gone overboard and that its unfortunate for some seniors to come in place of the youngsters. He also mentions that its easier for the Australians to play against an Indian team that has Sachin, Saurav and Dravid as they have played them before many times.

Andrew Symonds says, “I think we have been pretty humble in the way we have gone about it and personally I think they have got far too carried away with their celebrations. It has definitely sparked passion inside of us.” Well you have not really been humble, Andrew, rather you have been humbled by a bunch of youngsters whose total combined experience is less than Adam Gilchrist and Ponting.

I am just waiting for the Big 3’s bats to do the talking and let’s see if Ponting’s men can walk the talk this time as with comments like these, his team better be prepared for an extra hostile crowd and an extra determined Indian team.

As the Australian saying goes, “Ricky Ponting - You bloody idiot”.
