All de better, he'll never get out.

Sunny was never out ...just let down by bad umpiring and defective stumps

Unlike some recent members of the 10K club I could name, at least he had a brain.

A bit harsh on Dravid and Tendy, furry.

I totally agree tac. Either of them could have been Ponting's dad, but I guess the retard beat them over the fence.

Makes about as much sense as buckaroo. Or am I having a Nigel moment?

I could claim NSR. You could claim I've started drinking again. Unfortunately, you'd be right. Embarassed

You probably deserve it . . .

If I were your wife I'd give you poison, Mr Churchill.

What? Do you often fantasize about being my wife?

So asks tac of his underpaid Japanese 'ore, sorry 'secretary'.

Jebus, since moving permanently to no. 3 he has monstered nearly 7400 runs at 69!! At 33, you'd think he has at least 3 years left in him. That means, injury permitting, if he maintains that remarkable average for say another 30 Tests (10 a year would seem a minimum) then he'll end of with another 3450 runs (50 innings - he is averaging 1.66 innings per Test - at 69), for an aggregate of 13,450.

If he averages his current 58.84 for those 50 innings, he will finish with an aggregate of 12,950.

Got to have a dip in form a some point, it happens to even the best.

Lets hope it's halfway through next year, eh?

It's currently scheduled to occur between the dates 9 Oct 2008 and 9 Nov 2008. Thank you.

Ouch. For the most part, fairly accurate.

Had one. Didn't score a ton for 8 matchs before his 140 v India.

I thought this was going to be a thread where Lardy looks for commiserations. ...

Deflecting that, I note tac is rapidly closing in on 10 K posts here.

If we give SRT the same time span i.e. until he is 36, then he has 10 more Tests to play. At his current average of 55.31 and 1.61 innings per Test he will play another 16 innings x 55.31 = 885 runs for a final Test aggregate of 12,667 runs.

So if we use the same shelf-life of 36 years and project their current averages, Ponting should finish somewhere between 300 and 800 runs in front of the Little Master.

srt will play till 2011. up to ponting to do the running till 2013

by Henry Sun 01 Jun 2008, 20:29

I'm not sure that Ponting has the sort of technique that will allow him to remain prolific after the eyes start to go. Like Mark Waugh, he'll probably go into decline from the age of 36. Actually, he's probably past his best now, if you assume his best was between 2002 and 2006, when he was nigh on unstoppable.

I think Tendulkar himself expressed this desire to play one last WC. Had this been hosted by some other country, I doubt he'd have given it a shot but now that its being hosted in subcon, whats better way to retire than to play a WC final (hopefully) in front of home audience (Mumbai) and winning it by scoring a match winning ton (hopefully).

If his groin ever comes good . . . so to speak . . . .
