Ricky Ponting: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“If I do, maybe the aura will grow again.”
Ricky Ponting believes that without the additional burden of the Australian captaincy, he could put his indifferent form in the past two years behind him and enjoy a batting renaissance.
What he really meant:
“If I score enough runs and the team wins, I’ll be in everyone’s good books once more.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“Did you know that the word ‘aura’ is contained in ‘Australia’?”
Ricky Ponting: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
"I would have liked to have another old bloke around the group with me, yeah."
Ricky Ponting “pines” for Simon Katich’s company in the Australian side. The former Australian captain and Michael Hussey are the only senior cricketers in the current Test squad. Ponting believes that Katich’s dropping is a warning shot across their bows by Cricket Australia selectors.
What he really meant:
“Hussey and I could do with some company—our age.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“We’re geriatric.”
Ricky Ponting’s the next Scott Draper (Humour)
Ricky Ponting has decided to take up professional golf.
Seriously.
It’s that damned fool Gary Player who’s been filling his head with these ideas.
Player did not even know who Ricky was when he first met him. But can he recognise a fine swing or what?
What next?
What he said, meant and definitely didn’t: Gary Player
What he said:
“The way you hit the ball, you’re wasting your time playing cricket.”
South African golfing great, Gary Player, to Ricky Ponting on watching him golf.
What he meant:
“You can drive even better on the golf course.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“Cricket’s for cows.”
“You’re the next Tiger Woods.”
Ricky Ponting smashes another television set (Satire)
Ricky Ponting smashed another television set—this time at home.
The provocation for this act of ‘vandalism’ was the news that Duncan Fletcher has been appointed coach of the Indian cricket team.
It is learned from reliable, unnamed sources that the former Australian captain was in the running for arguably “the most difficult job in the sub-continent”. Negotiations with the BCCI were on-going—under the radar.
