Nah.

Ye you were probably one of the many unfortunate misinformed Indians around the world who before the recent series in India. Were still questioning Ponting's credentials againts playing spin in India for some crazy reason.

[GIMH]

Tbf to Siddle, he is a ****.

I agree

Ye where probably one of the many unfortunate misninformed Indian around the world who before the recent series in India. Where still questioning Ponting's credentials againts playing spin in India for some crazy reason.

Do I really need to explain why this post is unacceptable? Lift your game.


And it's "were", not "where" ftr.

First, I don't give a crap if you call me misinformed or whatever else but do not generalize. This is an official warning.

Second, the crazy reason was that he sucked at it. Apparantely, having to perform well before being successful only applies to Sehwag in South Africa.

We're*

We are*

[PhoenixFire]

We're*?

In the second case, but not the first I think.

[Matt79]

Not in that instance. It's "were".

[Ikki]

Deleted my post due to confusion. I've got a headache from trying to read that post.

[Jono]

Ikki was right for the second, but yeah not the first.

Either way, aussie now knows that

we're does not = where

and

were does not = where.

Firstly its unfortunate that i have to generalize, but thats what i've seen. Since i've been on CW over the years @ least, a stready drumbeat from pretty much every Indian fan on this site. Along with most i know in England before the recent AUS vs India series that still had some doubts for alot of crazy reasons about Ponting ability to play spin.

Secondly yes its clear he sucked. After years of people claming due that Ponting can't be rated highly as great batsman unless he scored a hundred in India. He scored a hundred in 2008 & he sucked. The logic is very strong here.

So Ponting pretty much corrected his faults in India in 2008 which caused him to average sub 20 in India. Something Sehwag has to do in SA given he averaged 14 in his last series in that country in 2006/07.

Yes unacceptable grammar, i typed it in frustration & what was being said about Ponting.

[Jono]

So by your standard, if Sehwag scores 100 in SA he can play pace bowling right?

Because Ponting scored a ton in a drawn test match where no result was likely by the end of day 4. So if Sehwag scores 100 in a draw, he's still all good.

Anyway I don't think people said Ponting couldn't play spin. He just had a bad record in India, which he needed to rectify. He went a long way to improving that in 2008, but it still wasn't that good. 2010 was very good.
