    Get off Ricky's back!

    I was following your logic,( i.e. first-class bat going through a bad spell and being a losing captain or vice-captain). On your criteria, Clarke is just as bad as Ponting. As regards captain's age, check out the age at which many great Aussie captains in the past were still winning Tests...

    Get off Ricky's back!

    Presumably then you must also consider Michael Clarke "is past it" as well? If so, Australia needs to put the cricketing kit away and hide in the dunny for the next four years! :laugh:

    Get off Ricky's back!

    That's his batting form- undeniable that he is going through a bad patch as all good bats do from time to time. The problem comes when all your recognised bats hit bad patches at the same time- as has happened with the Aussie team (and the England team in the past!). But take a look at...

    Dissension Too true! As a qualified umpire, I get pissed off at unsporting behaviour at League and club levels, encouraged by what they see the international teams doing. Sledging is happening at school and minor club levels these days and dissension is rife. Umpires need more sanctions...

    Get off Ricky's back!

    Have Aussies taken over the whingeing role from the Poms? Get off Ricky Ponting's back you bad-losing wusses! He is one of the best captains Australia has had over the last couple of decades! So he is going through a bad time at the moment- so what? He is still one of the best bats in the...
