Ricky Ponting has the runs

Ricky Ponting is having a runHe has 10,000 of them in Tests. That’s the way you phrase it, isn’t it? You ‘have’ runs.

We’ve already written one update about Ricky Ponting where we referred to ‘rather spectacular motions‘. That was a rather feeble ‘rushed toilet visit’ joke too.

If you’re worried that the site’s becoming increasingly low-brow, don’t worry - we’re fairly sure we’re not going to falsely insinuate that Ricky Ponting’s got diarrhoea again. We’re going to wait until it’s true.

Remember when Andrew Flintoff had the wild shits?

Ringing endorsement of Ricky Ponting’s form from Australia’s coach

Tim Nielsen had the following to say about Ricky Ponting’s four matches for Kolkata Knight Riders, during which he scored 20, 19 and two golden ducks:

“I am sure the opportunities to bat outside against net bowlers over there in India will hold him in good stead.”

Ricky Ponting and a bat and the bat's in his mouth

This is what we’ve come up with:

(1) Ricky Ponting with a bat in his mouth.

(2) Ricky Ponting eats a cricket bat.

(3) Ricky Ponting and a cricket bat and the bat’s sort of in his mouth so it sort of looks like he might be eating it or something, but he’s not. He’s not eating it at all because it’s a cricket bat and people don’t eat cricket bats. It just kind of looks like he is. He’s just sort of leaning on it being pensive or something.

Ricky Ponting goes through some rather spectacular motions

Summat do, innit?No, he hasn’t risked eating cream cheese in Karnataka and isn’t enduring THOSE sorts of spectacular motions (just say no, kids). He’s just going through the cricketing motions, only ‘going through the motions’ for Ricky Ponting involves scoring unbeaten hundreds. He operates at a higher level, this batsman.

Australia won two one-day internationals against New Zealand and are therefore better than them. Ricky Ponting scored an unbeaten hundred in each match and is therefore better than most other batsmen.

Was it really worth doing this? Why didn’t they just take a week off?
