yeah first time in a long time we have seen a big partnership like this for the australian team. this is what we will need to do in the ashes in 2013.
he would have to work really hard on his fitness though. bcuz by the time the ashes roll around he will be 40 years old.
I highly doubt he'll get there because, like you said, he'll declare before that happens.
yeah he will definitely declare before he that. but still wat a great knock by him. he's my favourite player to watch when he is in form.
Roughly the same age as Waugh when he retired and generally speaking Ponting has always been more athletic than Waugh was, also in reality I reckon 40 year old Ponting would be more athletic than thirty five year old Lehman, Taylor or Warne. More of a question of whether his eye and his reflexes will keep to that age, with batting if these things hold out a player can keep going for ages. See Mark Ramprakash, still killing it in fc cricket at 42, never had the ability to be a top class test batsman but if anything is playing better now than when he was 30.
Yeah I wouldn't put too much stock in anything said on channel nine.
it's still india, world cup winner with tendulkar/sehwag etc, so i s'pose they're still a bit wary instead of being overconfident.
