Ponting's career - in three parts

Not sure why DGB doesn't show 52 tests in that last list.

Never mind.

Ponting might be a nob as a captain but still a good bat

I was thinking Bradman. 50 odd matches in 20 years? Softcock.

Hopefully that's some serious NSR from you spang, bearing in mind that there was the small matter of World War II which killed Test cricket for six or so years. As well as many Test and first-class cricketers in action.

If Bradman had been any kind of proper cricketer he'd have got them to cancel WW2 and organised a few test matches instead. Reckon he just didn't want to spoil his average.

Aye, if Murali had been playing during WW2 he wouldn't have stopped playing matches until the Nazi's had captured Bulawayo and Chittagong.

After the Russkies invaded Afghanistan the Seppoes were thinking about starting WW3 ....but AB said 'No!' because he would have had to stop playing Tests and go and destroy the Communist Bloc ...in 1989 he won the Ashes and tore down the Berlin Wall and stopped the tanks in Tiananman Square ...he also allowed his DNA to be combined with Dawn Fraser's so Ozzie scientists could create Shane Warne

the greatest rise and the greatest fall. That being said, he is an abominable qunt.

Farquin Gold from the beany.

Ponting and Hussey should swap spots in the order.

Ponting would never agree to that though, stubborn c*nt that he is.

Aye. Wouldn't be out of place in the Top Aussies wesbite as a description of AB.

AB >>> Chuck Norris.

Churchill >>>>> DGB the Softcock...

Phurt - I didn't se Churchill face Larwood without a helmet.

He faced Larwood with no clothes on.

He told Jardine to go f**k himself too. Without a box.
