Three days ago we all have witnessed a great match between Australia and India but finally its Team India who able to complete the finishing line and for this lot of credit goes to Yuvraj Singh. Well played Yuvraj.. And India got good helping hands from Sachin and Raina to get this enthralling win.
Nevertheless today I am not writing blog on India’s victory but I am writing on the player who played his last World Cup match and he is Ricky Ponting.
From last 3 days, news papers are flooded with Indian victories and it between those we find the praise for Ricky Ponting’s brilliant hundred and if I go through Australian Media, they are just praising his innings with lot of adjectives they can use for him.
All have one say that he has not got the support of bowlers or lower order batsman else Aussies had won easily. Also some articles wrote that
“Ricky Ponting is the best batsman in the World...Period !
There is no batsman in the world who can deliver the way he delivered in the quarter final.
My comment seems a bit too much, considering Tendulkar's pile of records and centuries, but how many had tendulkar or any other player for that matter had WON it when required.
Ricky Ponting had done it always !! He is a big game's big player, a true match winner”
After reading above I just got frustrated as why the hell people are praising for an arrogant player like Ponting, and how the hell he became match winner, he lost the quarter final not won the match and if he truly want to become match winner then he should have to won that match for Aussie.
From last 20 year, Sachin has played so many great innings but he never ever able to get the support of the rest of his team mates and due to that India Team loss many of the matches and then you people only used to say that he is not the match winner then how can you say just opposite for Ricky Ponting, till 3 years back he used to get the support of great bowling line up with a formidable batting line up and that’s why he used to play freely without any pressure, so according me he was just a good player and keep this words in mind that I am only saying good not the best and can’t use great for Punter as for me, he was a sore loser and don’t deserve to be called a good player.
So its an end of era according to experts for Ricky Ponting but according to me, a bad player with no spirits of cricket has ended its era with last match for him was against India and he was on losing side.
No way Ponting can get the respect of people as they used to give the respect to Bradman,Sobers,Richards,Tendulkar,Gilchrist..
Ending my article with best of luck for India against Pakistan match and then we want World Cup not for India but atleast for a man who giving his heart and soul to India from last 21 years and that man is “SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR”
Bleed BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!
