Ponting
Another golden duck today.
Is it worth even taking him to India this year? He has pretty much been a jinx for us every time he plays there.

Simple economics. Getting plenty for very little work. Genius.

Word.
Milk it for all it's worth ... take the moolah and bank it before
the novelty wears off and Indian money and sense dries up!

Exactly, when there'es less money on tap, Ponting won't even be there. More sense in his two heads than in the heads of all the IPL bankrollers.

Meh, Punter is just thumbing his nose at the owners. "If you think I'm only worth a quarter of what MSD is, then I'll give you nothing".

I'm sure he's sobbing a la Sreesanth all the way to the bank.

He's failed. He's a professional; I am sure he feels it.
Get over with your wishful 'laughing all the way to the bank', etc.
And BTW, for now it seems that the IPL is here to stay, boys and girls. Live with it.

I wonder if it's possible that Punter's best is behind him. I know a year or two ago people were acclaiming him as the best thing since Bradman but I've always felt if they get the ball swinging to him he's highly vulnerable, obviously early. At the moment though he just seems to be playing injudicious shots.

Seconded.
The Aussies are being a bit pathetic. First it's "Oh look, all the Aussie players are dominating the IPL. It's finished when they leave" and then its "Oh the Aussie players who are playing like shit-tips aren't trying and are just there for the money".
Spanners.

Before 2007/08, he was averaging around 80 since 2003. Very hard to maintain those sort of standards.
He's the sort of batsman who looks awesome when in form but can look a bit awkward and even out of his depth when out of form. Not unlike Brian Lara.

Ponting's just in a trough at the moment. Methinks the Windies may pay.

Yeah, he's plundered the Windies in the post Ambrose-Walsh era.
