Ponting to Skip IPL

[Burgey]

Cricinfo - Ponting decides to give IPL a miss

Right move IMO.

 

[Durham_CCC]

Flintoff should aswell.

Ashes >>>> IPL

Wise decision, good to see he is putting his all into the Ashes and not getting distracted by some very serious it and giggle cricket.

 

[ret]

he didn't do anything last time around so I wonder if he would be missed .... could be fear of failure too

 

[Burgey]

ret back with his usual standard of post, I see...

IIRC he's posted on here before about how the Australian team would tour Pakistan if they had IPL-type money on offer, saying they're greedy etc. CBF looking it up, because I'd rather have surgery without anaesthetic than read his ****.

i don't think I posted anything like that

and as I said I don't think that Ponting not playing IPL is going to be a major blow to the KnightRiders and if thinking that is not up to your standards then there is nothing I can do

Yeah, for sure.

My spies tell me that Ponting doesn't really like T20 anyway.

Plus, with match payments alone for Australia this year, he will collect > $1million.

That's aside from Kookaburra, Adidas, Valvoline, Swiss etc.

Good on him. It is going to happen anyway, more and more cricketers going to do what Ponting has done. I dont think it is fun for them or something they enjoy doing.

Good move from Ponting. He should retire from T20 Internationals also. And perhaps from ODIs too.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is first of many now, especially those who have a hectic year in front of them.

Subtlety is for girls. Truth>>>>>> Everything.

Haha. Deadset, if you ever feel the need to take another self-imposed break from CW, go for your life.

True.

I don't really know that much about girls, tbh. But I do know that this philosophy is a fast track way to having your testicles brutally ripped away from your body...

You are telling me to suicide?

Nope. My experience in life so far tells otherwise. And I have remarkably intact balls. (Not intact per se, but undamaged)

Go for your life = go hard.

No, I'm saying just as I don't post comments on CricBuzz, perhaps you shouldn't make posts on CricketWeb.
