Australia will dominate for years: Ponting

[Rahul Dravid]

Well if the decline of the WI is anything to go by' date=' they should start to suck in ODIs before Tests because[b'] ODIs are lot more physically demanding and thus harder on the body and you tend to retire or start to suck faster at it.

:haha: that was a joke right?

Unfortunately for Ponting, his team did not dominate for long after this statement. But at that time, his statement was not entirely out of place. It was a bit optimistic, but was a reasonable claim. Just because Australia did not dominate anymore is not reason enough to laugh at them. Rather they deserve respect for dominating for that long.

A lot of people didn't realise how big a loss McWarne were going to be.

Yeah' date=' right now, English people are tooo optimistic :two_thumbs_up: They won't be number one for so long. They suck when comes to playing test series outside their home (Australia may be the exception).[/quote'] We will see

The quote was from 2006 and Aus remained #1 until 2009, about 3 years. That's a longer period than India have held the ranking in their entire history:haha:
