Here we go...another one The success of Mahendra Singh Dhoni as Indian cricket captain is a combination of some skill and loads of good fortune, feels senior Pakistan batsman Younis Khan, who says it would be interesting to see how he fares once his luck runs out.Younis, who returned with the Pakistan team from Abu Dhabi last night, said Dhoni has been very lucky as captain http://www.ptinews.com/pti%5Cptisite.nsf/0/A52F58F4844FCE5D6525750500361E0B?OpenDocument :hysterical:

Ponting's lack of success more to do with my enormous brown phallus up his backside than India's skill.

[CSK Fan]

Guys at least bother to read the whole thing before replying, the statement was made just AFTER India's 20/20 WC win and not now. That does not make it right but its not like Ponting said these things after the recent test loss.

As i said Ponting was completely wrong in attributing the 20/20 win to luck but my reply was to posts such as these

what an *******-this proves all the nice things he says to ravi shastri after the defeat are something he doesnt believe in-typical aussie-they never say what they think or believe-that is to be expected i guess.

i don t care when it was made.that kind of stupidity deserves my derision .this idiot has lost all my respect long time ago.

[coffee_rules]

These comments were written after T20 WC. The Indian media is publishing it now, so that comments look stupid. These comments were not written. So, stop the hyperventilation...

[punjabi_khota]

Ponting is a sshooooootiya

[vadodaravictor]

Sour grapes. We could have said similar things after Aussie WC win 2003. But we know that Aussies were better in that WC. Ponting is such a cry baby

Also they were lucky to win the Semi's if SA didn't mess up, Aus wouldn't have made it to the final

So, stop the hyperventilation...[/quote'] Yea I know ... its not like he said these now. But the thing was, when the T20 world cup was completed ... the Aussies were saying "Yea, we're not making any excuses. We're gonna have to start taking this game more seriously". Then they go and write down all their excuses in a book. Its another case of them saying one thing and doing another

[satishg]

retaining the 20 20 wc next time around will shut punters mouth once and for all..man he is such a d ickhead. how can a team be lucky throughout a tournament..they can be lucky for 1 or 2 matches but not for 5 matches or so..

[King]

The two WC wins under Ponting must have been lucky too isn't it? How nice to see these quotes in his book? An absolute disgrace these Aussie players are, sore losers and whingers of the highest order. The bad time must have started from the time Ponting started to write this book. Aussies were thrashed by Indians even in the triangular series in Australia. Ponting confessed many a times that they were outclassed by India since the start of this year. I guess that says a lot about his team. Never seen so many sissy cricketers representing Australia. Shocking .....
