Andrew Flintoff considered to be one among the best all rounder of all times has reiterated his earlier stand on retirement decision. With Australia dominating the fifth Ashes Test which will be a deciding game, there were rumors that Flint off may reconsider his decision.
Flintoff had earlier made up his mind to retire from Test cricket after the current Ashes series, citing the frequent injuries as the reason is firm in his stand. He however did not rule out the possibility of playing four day cricket at national level as a part of Lancashire team. However the eminent all rounder will be continuing playing cricket as far as fifty over game and twenty-twenty version are concerned. Flintoff is a part of IPL Chennai Super Kings team.
Um, thanks?
If someone else is made the captain, and Punter, playing as the senior-most batsman, scores a bucketful of runs - now that would be just fine.
Heck, Rileen, that would be ideal.
And knowing Ponting, he'd get furious at no longer being captain and focus all his energies into his batting as a way of proving people wrong.
End result: Ponting even better as a batsman, and somebody - anybody - else as captain.
Shane Warne – The best bowler Australia has ever produced has opened up his mind to the media. He exposed his discontent regarding umpires. According to the ace spinner barring a few exceptions like Simon Tauter and ASAP Rauf other umpires went awry in terms of performance .Expressing disappointment that the standard of umpiring has deteriorated to the worst extent in the past twenty years of time he opined that though umpiring was a hard job, the performances of the umpires in the Ashes series had been consistently so ordinary. As far as Warne is concerned umpire Billy Bowden whom he expected to deliver correct judgments was also not consistent in performing his duty.
The spinner repents that there are too many instances of such bad judgments, which is increasingly becoming a cause of concern. He directly made a mention of names of umpires Daryl Harper and Billy Bowden, accusing them to be adamant in not confessing their wrong judgments. He also tried to strengthen his claim by mentioning that several players were not having a good opinion about those umpires in their minds. Warne insisted that the umpires should maintain a friendly attitude towards the players by shedding their high-handed attitude Warne also expressed his view repetitively that fifty over match should be withdrawn once for all as if such a change is brought about it would enable the players to spend more time with their families and relieve them from exhaustion.
Vijayanand...it sounds like you're in denial about the shiteness of Ponting's captaincy. Forget about Freddy and Warney and the umpires...just say it...nay scream it out at the top of your lungs...PONTING SUCKS AS CAPTAIN! You'll feel much better afterwards!
Testify, Captain!
I think we'll have a bowl.
(that's what I thought this post would be!)
Well, we don't ever need to hear those words again either. And if he did the decent thing and fell on his sword (not literally... I'm not that angry with him... or am I? I shall ponder this further), he wouldn't be in a position to say anything worth listening to.
