zubinpepsi Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Read this Indian Express Australian captain Ricky Ponting says India may have taken rapid strides in recent times but Rahul Dravid and his men would do well do remember their propensity to perform badly abroad. "India is a dangerous side and has improved noticeably from the time when it was performing badly and the current coach (Greg Chappell) was being much criticized. But we are also not forgetting their negatives as bad travellers," Ponting said on Sunday. wish ponting has said tht in a more arrogant way... these sorta statements against one team backfires.. ex of such incidents in the past as for as i know 1.Chappells stmt against Windes that they forgot to win last year 2. Buchann's stmt during CB series tht they need some competition... guys u can add if u know some more of such stmts,, jus to add validity to my analogy..:hic: hence my belief in india winning the cup is gettint stronger now.... it mite b a stupid analogy, then again i dont mind... i hope dravid gives bak a strong reply at the finals after winning the cup..

Predator_05 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Re: Ponting actualy helping India But we are also not forgetting their negatives as bad travellers' date='" Ponting said on Sunday. [/i'].. The Indian cricketers should tape this statement to the walls of their locker room and use it as motivation to kick everyone's @ss. Link to comment
yoda Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Re: Ponting actualy helping India I wish ponting had said something like "Those dirty brownies pee in their pants soon after they leave momma's lap". That would be worth taping. Link to comment

Buchann's stmt during CB series tht they need some competition... Against India it doesnt work that way. Here is the thing(in my experience) - Indians are quite happy to be the good guys, the kind of people that comes second in 100 m dash and are happy with "Chalo I tried my best..it just wasnt in my naseeb". For a long time I have witnessed Indians getting humiliated like Ponting just did and silently wondering "Why us? We are good people. We do not deserve this". I am still wondering why Indian greats have not jumped to Sunny's defence. I would love India to beat Australia and thrust the words down Ponting's throat. Lets see if that happens. Link to comment

The Outsider Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Re: Ponting actualy helping India I would love some Indian player, current or former to come out with a statement glorifying his test average in India. That'll remind him a few things about world travel. Link to comment
King Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Re: Ponting actualy helping India The best way to shut him up is to win couple of games in the World cup against Australia. The media will then take care of giving it back. Link to comment
sm332 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Re: Ponting actualy helping India fully concur with what Ravi said ... first win the game and then remind Punter what his avg in India is. The so called best batsman in the world who still is yet to get out of the teens in India. continuing the fine tradition of aussie thugs for cappos (taylor excepted) Link to comment
Ram Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Re: Ponting actualy helping India but why would ponting drag india's test record into this when it was about a completely different issue of behaviour on the field ??? i smell something fishy here. Its almost as if ponting was waiting for some opportunity to have a go at someone. Hope the team returns the favor in an "appropriate" way... Link to comment
