Ponting not concerned with 2nd test drubbing

Interesting article I found in the net.... Ponting not concerned with 2nd test drubbing Australia in India 2008-09 Ponting not concerned with 2nd test drubbing Bharat Rathaghanam October 23, 2008 Australian captain Ricky Ponting attempted to put on a brave face during a lively press conference held before he departed Mohali for some sightseeing ahead of the 3rd test next week. The meeting dominated predominantly by local journalists had been surprisingly called at short notice at Pontings request through his team's chief press officer. According to the beleaguered Tasmanian "Our goals for the tour to date have been fully achieved". When questioned by puzzled Indian journalists as to how this could be the case in face of such a heavy loss he continued "Look the main aim of this tour is to get our boys ready for the next edition of the IPL, at the midpoint of the test series I feel we are really getting ourselves well attuned to the conditions". When pressed further he stated "Of course we want to win every type of match we play, but the reality of the current situation is that we have to accept that this test series takes a back seat in the bigger scheme of things". He further revealed " The main reason for Brett not bowling on the 4th day was that I don't want to take any risks with his fitness, if he breaks down now and then misses the IPL a few months down the line then he'll never forgive me, he perhaps was forgetting that fact at the time he questioned my decision but since has actually thanked me for such foresight" When an angry Indian journalist quizzed the Aussie captain claiming he was devaluing test cricket he received a stern reply "Mate in the current economic climate we as Australian citizens have a duty to our fellow countrymen, the more cash that can flow back into our economy the better, now you tell me is that gonna happen through us winning this test series or through participation in the IPL?" After a brief silence as all in the press room digested Pontings honourable patriotic viewpoint attention turned towards his own batting form. Again he was calmness personified as he argued "It's no good me scoring a mountain of runs at this stage and then running out of gas by the time the IPL comes along, I want to save up my best form for that tournament and make sure I don't let down our backers. I wanted score a test hundred in India for the first time, now I've got that monkey off my back I can concentrate on getting myself in tip top shape for the Knight Riders" The press conference came to a fairly abrupt end as Ponting was hurriedly ushered away by the Australian team management leaving the Press room in a state of near disbelief as to how quickly priorities in the world of cricket seem to have changed.

You just posted a direct link to a pornographic website offering paid services for XXX rated adult content and you call that "no more bad than stuff that has been posted before on these forums"? I think you must be reading the wrong forum all the while.

I was talking about the main page that it was linked to. It had a picture of a scantily dressed lady on it (No nudity, no porn), and if I may remind you, such pictures have been posted on this forum before. Thats all.

I think what you've described there using all the exhaustive verbiage is what people typically refer to as the 'Welcome Screen' or the 'Disclaimer Screen' of a porn site. Stil it,l doesnt discount it from the fact that it is XXX rated content. Anyways, this private argument is uselessly eating up front page MB space. If you want to take this issue up any further, I am more than happy to do it through PMs.

[punjabi_khota]

I have no issues.. But Saar, this whole thread is crappy and useless, since the original post is fiction.

Yeah' date=' Ponting is not concerned about the second test drubbing.....he is concerned about the third test drubbing.:winky:[/quote'] :haha: I hope that transpires. Seriously though, I reckon Aussies will come back with a fight. They were allowed too much time between 2nd and 3rd test to recuperate. Back to back test matches with couple of days rest would have had them sapped for energy and the memories still will have been lingering.

my only worry is that this long break should not leave india behind with complacency... with the players back home to celebrate diwali, and come back after eating a lot of sweets, theer shouldn't be any complacency...
