Blogs Ponting tries to fire-up the Ashes war-of-words
May 31st, 2009 by kapoorFor starters, this is not something new to the Aussie team and particularly to Ricky Ponting. He is known to try and play some sort of mental games with the opposition before the onset of every series. So, when the England team is about to take on the Aussies, it was but natural that he would say something to try and ruffle the English media and the dressing room. However, his remarks on Flintoff being ‘prone’ to getting injured and not being able to carry on for an entire series can be best described as a poor attempt at something that Steve Waugh had mastered. These comments should not create any sort of major reactions since it is a fact that Flintoff’s knee and back remain dodgy and his chances of playing regularly for England are always in a limbo. Ponting will have to do a bit better and try to come-up with something a bit more original.
