Give me a ********ing break.

Ricky Pontings innings since the 7th of January:

13 v SL
33 v SA
9 v SA
13 v SL


Someone explain to me why this guy needs to have another 'rest' on Sunday.

This CA policy of resting players is fast becoming a joke.

 

[Lensen]

Based on those figures, maybe he's been omitted.

 

[Kegs44]

He's having one week off, I dont see anything wrong with that really. Gilly is more than capable of leading Australia when Punter's not there, and hes just come off 3-4 months of non-stop cricket so why shouldnt he get a rest. These guys train day in day out aswell as play and i for one think that if they think they require the rest then fine.

 

[Bentleigh]

I think we should allow Ricky 'I average 60 in Test cricket' Ponting whatever, whenever he wants.

 

[chapmanmagic35]

It's not as if we're being hammered without players who are being rotated, so there's nothing to worry about.

 

[kosi_23]

I agree,

Its not a big deal, hes givin us heaps this summer.

I think he's having a well earned rest

 

[LIONS then DAYLIGHT]

Mate, can you post without swearing.

Hes captain of the Australian cricket team- and the cricket team is playing this Sunday without him. I do find something wrong with that.

Well Sri Lanka beat us last Sunday, and we only won in Adelaide with 9 balls to spare. And Bracken will be heading home to Sydney this weekend too. I find it ridiculous that we are resting players under these circumstances.

You obviously didnt read my post before you commented.

Go back and check out his scores over the past month. And then tell me whether he has given us heaps.

Mate, can you post without swearing.

Sorry, discussing this topic irritates me greatly.

If it's good enough for Man U to play 3rd XI's during their League Cup/Mickey Mouse games or whatever, it's good enough for Australia.

I'd rather have Ponting make tons in Tests than play games which are a foregone conclusion.

So resting Ponting in tomorrows match means he is going to make centuries in the South African tour tests??

How do you figure that?

Might give him a proper rest, freshen him up.

Cricketers play alot these days. Far too many of these ODI bollocks games.

 

[Ricketts]

Because we're arrogant, better, and can afford to do it.

Was the thread title a deliberate pun?

I think you mean Ricky "I average 57 and less than Rahul Dravid" Ponting a rest.

 

[Bentleigh]

I think you mean Ricky "I average 57 and less than Rahul Dravid" Ponting a rest.

How bout

Ricky '11th highest Test average ever (57.71), 8th most ever runs (8253), & I just turned 31' Ponting

Refer to Paksitan India series 2006 for explanation.

What's your point?

Your original post is still wrong.

He is captain, and looking at his form before this little lean patch I think he truly deserves it. Seeing as the cricket schelude is jam packed, he should get a game off and then come back fresh for the finals.

What about Rahul "I play Bangas and Mash more" Dravid

 

[Bentleigh]

What about Rahul "I play Bangas and Mash more" Dravid

Rahul ' my Test strike rate is 30 less than Punters ' Dravid

 

[YOTC]

Rahul 'can i borrow a feeling' Dravid

 

[Armageddon]

Rahul "I wish I was as good as Sachin"
