  • ponting d great

  • Why the does everyone have to fight?? I'm an Aussie and I believe this was the best ashes series I have ever seen (even though we lost), and this was such a pivotal moment in the match. Why abuse the English, if it wasn't for them we wouldnt be living in this great country! Why abuse Aussies? We're pretty much the same people apart from our accents. Why can't everyone just have some friendly banter and enjoy one of the greatest sporting event/rivalry in the world!!

  • Still makes me laugh, even six years later :-D

  • heheheh Ponting is a bogun bastard.

  • @libertyordeaf

    Subs are within the laws of the game, but the spirit of cricket doesn't say you should rotate your fast bowlers every 14 min so they don't have to field the whole day, and replace some fast bowler who will be a sweeper by the best fielder you can find in county cricket. If Australia did that then everyone (and rightfully so) would rip into us.

    Just because it's within the rules doesn't mean you should do it.

  • @postmanpat69 Yes England had been rotating fielders to get their Bowlers off the pitch when not bowling however Pratt(the guy who ran Ponting out) was on the field due to a genuine injury to one of the England bowlers. Plus Pratt was not the best fielder they could find in county cricket as he got released a year later and has never returned to county cricket.

  • @FinalApples

    That time there may have been a genuine injury, but the reality is Ponting probably didn't know that at the time. He would have just seen a guy who he knows isn't on the team, hence his justifiable anger. There is no doubt that Pratt's involvement that series was much more than a regular substitute fielder.

    I don't claim to follow county cricket, but from all reports he was one of the best fielders. He may not have been delisted because he couldn't bat/bowl.

  • @postmanpat69 Yes, but any smart team should have an exceptional fielder at number 12 anyway. Why wouldn't you? It just makes sense surely?

  • On yer bike, Ponting

  • Ponting had nothing to complain about. Subs are well within the laws of cricket, and no team is going to field a sub who can't run, catch or throw. He should've been more angry at whoever it was who called him through for a single that wasn't there. PS @cavemassive "all you convicts"? As pathetic as it is unoriginal.

  • IF SACHIN IS GOD OF CRICKET THEN WHY HE DONT HAVE A UNIQUE AVERAGE?

  • Ponting is Chinese, look at wiki, hes shorter, his eyes are like Chinese and really cheap too..His dad Tap Sum Bum runs milk bar in Tassy

  • @snyperdoc1 Cool, huh? :) Not bad, being descended from arguably the richest and most ancient culture extant, which was, for example, producing technological marvels while most the rest of the world was still hunting and gathering.

  • @Mearstone tap sum bum

  • @snyperdoc1 YOURE BEYOND HELP!

  • Jones' injury was no fake so England weren't pushing their luck on this occasion but anyway... Having a sub on to maybe let a bowler take a long comfort break, well within the law if possibly bending the spirit, bit of smart gamesmanship, sounds a bit...Australian. Ponting was just annoyed that they didn't think of it first.

  • I wanted to see the other bowl the freddy bowled

  • Ponting is a knob that looks like a goblin!

  • Of course underarm bowling is legal! It just isn't thought of as particularly sporting when the Chappell brothers are around.

  • The bigger question is, what planet was Damien Martyn on? Never, ever in a million years is there a run there.

  • Here's my opinion to anybody who claimed England were cheating - Simon Jones was off injured at the time, an injury which kept him out of cricket for an extended period and an injury which has meant he has never played international cricket since. Gary Pratt was one of the best fielders in the country at the time, they're hardly going to bring the worst fielder in the country on. Ponting threw his toys out because he sensed the Ashes slipping away, but gave Pratt his boots and bat as an apology.

  • Brilliant fielding!

  • A real no brainer. You don't run when you hit the ball straight to the fielder. That's elementary.

  • Martyn should never have called for the run in the first place.

    Straight to a youngster in the covers whose ability your not sure of ( - should always assume he's a pretty good fielder if he's on as 12th man (let's face it - you're not going to get Gatting to do 12th man duties for you are you)

    Silly run. Ponting did a Prior afterwards then!

  • @longbendy81

    How dare you insult the Great Gatt!

  • You take singles straight to cover you get run out simple as that

  • Check out the book 'The Ashes, 1945-2005, A Complete Record' by Tony Wagtar

  • Oh by the way i've got a delivery here for you twats. A big case of sour grapes.

  • I love they way all you convicts are trying to justify chapple by saying it was a legal delivery. Just because it's "within the laws of the game" doesn't make it right. It seems to me that if you lot use the laws to your advantage thats ok, but if anyone else does then its not. Therefore backing up mine and everyone else's opinion in the entire cricket playing world that you fuckin lot are a big bunch of cry babies when you lose.

  • @cavemassive It was not justified. Chappell had a brain fart and it was unforgivable; an example for all future Australian cricketers of how not to play the game. Signed, Convict. PS: How do you think Bodyline compares?

  • Didn't show Ponting's ugly rant at the English dressing room for using substitute fielders (actually, Simon Jones was injured so this was not one of the occasions where England were bending the rules).

    Still one of the best run outs ever in terms of changing the game. Punter looked like he was well in for a big innings, then Pratt knocks over his stumps. Beautiful.

  • Ashes always produced amazing moments in cricket! :)

  • i dont know why all the greatest batsmen like ponting,sachin,lara always look at the ball all the way before they touch the crease...why the hell cant they run taking their eyes off the ball and dive?

  • ponting is a dick

  • @StollieSA The correct formulation is "Ponting has a dick". Sorry, but I don't think he has a sexual interest in guys.

  • @rothordegilian lol.. if 2 ashes victories can cause so much arrogance, wonder what the English supporters would feel if they won consecutive ashes like the aussies.. aussie arrogance atleast feels somewhat justified after being world champions for so many years.. lol. peace out!

  • @shrawan12321 Um..... we just did win consecutive Ashes series :)

  • @shrawan12321 Dear Mr Idiot,

    2 Ashes victories in a row equals consecutive Ashes victories. This is simple mathematics, please do try and pay attention.

    Peace out!

  • @JamesCoverley Dear Mr. Einstein

    wat u r doing is extrapolation and not math. "won consecutive ashes like aussies" means as many consecutive series wins as aussies (8 successive wins from 1989 to 2003). I like how u deliberately took "consecutive ashes" out of context here.. but my apologies for not being clear.

  • @shrawan12321 Dear Mr. Idiot,

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    love, Mr. Einstein.

  • Comment removed

  • I wonder if, when Uncle Grumpy got back to the dressing room, he casually tossed his box into his kitbag and destroyed a washing machine, 2 TVs and a grand piano?

  • lol stupiid poms got nothing better to do than upload there greatest ever acheivment on youtube.

  • @Hodgeisdaman *Stupid.

    Thanks for collapsing during The Ashes. I thought you convicts were made of tougher stuff?

  • @rothordegilian to call us convicts is ridiculous, most Australians aren't descended from convicts, and even if we are, they are ENGLISH convicts.

  • @nathanstorm7 I didn't call you English convicts. I didn't even call you British convicts. I just called you convicts. You're welcome to come home if you like, I think you've done your time now.

    Grats on winning the one day series, btw! 6-1 wasn't it? Want to swap that for the Ashes? Didn't think so :p

  • @rothordegilian How are we convicts then, explain your logic. And yeah, well done, you retained the Ashes. Retain it for 16 years, then get back to me.

  • @nathanstorm7 Because your great-grandad stole a pint of beer and you're still living in the prison he got sent to :)

  • @rothordegilian In that case, one wonders why the English are slumming it by putting such a huge effort into defeating crims. On average, the crims are not doing too badly.

  • Great fielding

  • You might be pissed off by being run out by a tTelfth Man, but that's what they are there for. I mean, twelfth men are allowed to field, not bowl or bat. Would you have them barred from doing anything, other than taking up space?

    Or are Twelfth Men only allowed to field if they are on for Australia? After all, Vaughn was caught out by an Aussie sub during the series, and you didn't hear him casting any accusations of cheating about.

  • Nice one Garry you manged to run out old man Ponting.

  • ENGLAND 3 CONVICTS 1 :-)

  • @jamestampere can't understand how you can call us convicts, most of us aren't descended from convicts, and even if we are, they were english convicts.

  • England 3 Useless Aussies 1 Ashes 2010/11

    HA HA HA HA HA

  • This footage of England playing good cricket is rare.

  • On your kangaroo ricky ...

  • Same umpire who didn't give KP out the other night.... ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!

  • Ponting is always whining and complaining.

    Nasser H has a nice piece about history of Ponting's shameful behavior.

    ASHES 2010: NASSER HUSSAIN - Ugly streak of petulance that shames ...

    Daily Mail

  • gary pratt what a fielder

  • Actually, i don't think bringing on a 12th man as a fielder is cheating. Although it isn't in the spirit of the game but it's only 1 player.

  • Cheating English? Not disimilar to Pontings grounded catch appeals or Haddin bowling batsmen with his gloves! As for claiming using spit infused with Murray mints is cheating, it has the same effect as sweat with sun cream in it, but i assume australian players definitely dont use that....

  • Ponting was batting like a man possessed before this, would have easily gone on to make 100. Fkn English cheats bringing on their specialist fieldsman - a good example of how they didn't play the series in the right spirit. Bringing bowlers off and using mints on the ball to get reverse swing was shameful.

    Botham is a cunt, Chappell owned him in the carpark. Australia will win Perth and Strauss will shit himself when he has to come out to bat infront of 100,000 at the G on boxing day ;)

  • cheating english? at least he didn't bowl under arm like that cunt chapple in 81 you fuckin bread loaf thief.

  • @cavemassive Dude, if you type in underarm incident you should see at the end of it saying in 81 you were ALLOWED to bowl underarm.

  • @cavemassive That "cunt" 's delivery was legal, you know.

  • @ParisAvenue2005 so that justifies sportsmanship? typical ignorant aussie spack ..,

  • @Veneratio10 My comment wasn't meant to be taken seriously, gee. Ah a verbal insult... yes, the first defence of an idiot :)

  • @ParisAvenue2005 Wasn't exactly in the spirit of the game now was it? One of the worst moments of cricket if you ask me. Richie Benaud and even Ian Chappel seemed to think so as well.

  • @cavemassive - you rude cunt!!

    You don't know he is from the same genetic stock as you. (Your lot were possibly sent for snot rag theft. I mean to say, aren't we all pommy cunts like you?)

  • @youandyamum I don't see what an underarm bowler has to do with women's (best not mention it)

  • @youandyamum you stupid fuck.. he's saying every society has criminals, and we dumped ours on an island halfway across the world.. the shitty country getting owned in this video

  • @cavemassive

    i love it how the english think convict jokes are up-to-date and hilarious.

    clearly the english are just fucking lazy.

  • @cavemassive Brilliant.

  • @cavemassive underarm bowling is legal...

  • @rebeccabalck not true, it's been illegal for years. Yes, it was once allowed, but no more.

  • @cavemassive Best comment ever.

  • @ewhi1 How did it go on boxing day mate? If Strauss did shit himself it was from laughing too hard.

  • @ewhi1 there's nothing like a sour colonial :-)

  • @MrChubbers there's nothing like a small dicked pom

  • @ewhi1 Two words mate: we've retained ;)

  • @gnrrules123454321 Yeah that's great for you guys. You guys played very well. Next time I'd like to see more Englishman in your squad though. The young South African lad, Pieterson, was best for you guys I thought.

  • @ewhi1 I see your point but I would argue that Cook was, for the series, overall better.

    It is also true that we have some S. African players but in fairness you guys have a whole continent and a little island called Tasmania to choose from, we have a small island and...... well that's all we have so we need help XD

    To be honest, if they want to come and get english nationality then let them. it would be no different if they came over to you, gained Australian citizenship and played for you.

  • @ewhi1 Plus I didn't mean to sound like an arrogant shite in my first comment, I'm part Aussie on my mum's side and have family living in Oz, so yeah I'm a pom, likewise, I support England, but I do respect Aussie cricket :)

  • @ewhi1 England 3 Oz 1 :D

  • The best moment of the series for me. There's nothing better than seeing Ponting throw his toys out of the pram. Great, great batsman - no doubt about that though.

  • where is gary pratt now?

  • Happiest moment of my life, including the birth of my children.

  • @raggedclown

    you better hope that youe children dont search for Ponting run out.

  • You're such a wankstain ponting...sir gary pratt was only there selling ice creams as well

  • @TheIdentCritic No but a sort of 'unspoken rule' is that you dont field a substitute fielder in a catching or key fielding position like this, you field them on the boundary or away from the action so that teams dont just put a specialist fieldsman onto the field into a key position and take a not so good fielder off the field, thats why ponting was pissed off

  • @norths8 Wherever a substitute fielder goes he's still entitled to have a shy at the stumps if the batsmen are daft enough to take a risky run. Ponting shouldn't have whinged in front of the opposition and TV cameras, apart from being juvenile and pathetic it showed a weakness and his fear of losing. But maybe he's more gracious in defeat these days since Australia have had to get used to losing series recently

  • Turning point of the series

  • haha, he always gets run out :D

  • lol.......brilliant throw from the young man,has Gary Pratt ever played first class cricket since?

  • ha Arrested101 get ready for ashes this winter lets see how good the aussies are with a bouncing buoyent England firing on all lines with not so secret weapon eoin morgan class player

  • @TheIdentCritic injured please they were going on and off all the time must of been alot of injuries.

  • @DKLillee355 he was on the field for Simon Jones mate, who never played a test again due to the injury . We might have been taking the piss with the others, but the big irony here is Ponting had a good old moan when it was a genuine case.

  • Whether or not that's the case they did it all series, even more so in 2009. There were times where they had 2 players off ... none with injuries. Asad Rauf had a decent go at Stuart Broad because he was off twice a day. Maybe we should talk about Trescothick's glucose lollies, and lets not forget how Monty Panesar needed to change his gloves twice in a over in Cardiff after batting for 30 mins. England whinging about sportsmanship, that's a good one.

  • MOAR AUSTRALIAN TEARS, PL0X!

  • Arise Sir Gary Pratt!!

  • why didnt ponting fully strech? Look at 0:34 he could have put his arm out further?? WEIRD

  • @submitobeyusa not easy when your running flat out

  • Anyone else sick of seeing Punter run out in the Ashes? haha

  • After the game Ponting gave Pratt a signed bat and his boots, how can you say they Aussies are bad losers? I'd have been pissed off at getting run out by a 12th man. Ponting is a class act no denying it. He'd be my number 3 batsman in my world eleven evrytime.

  • cool story bro!

  • @Royalencrypter I agree, everybody loves to vilify the Aussies. Personally I'm a Pakistan fan and I don't really like the Aussie cricket media, but Ponting is a class act

  • @Royalencrypter lol, you'd pick ponting at three ahead of bradman?

  • @ImpatientLime I meant in modern times.

  • @Royalencrypter not anymore though since we've lost the ashes to england, and he's not doing any good either in the icc world cup

  • @Royalencrypter Ponting is not a class act at all.. he is a spoilt little brat that throws his toys out the pram everytime he doesn't get it his way.

  • @pubuman "Every time"? Every single time, without exception? Hardly likely. If he had reacted badly 100 percent of the times things didn't go his way or rejoiced inappropriately every single time an opponent went down -- or even 10 percent, I might be inclined to agree with you. But if he reacts badly maybe 1 percent of those times, then I cannot see how your assertion holds up. The latter figure is far more likely. Have you good evidence to the contrary?

  • @Mearstone What does rejoicing inappropriately have to do with my statement? Nothing! In cricket there is no stat for "behaved like an idiot". However what is telling is that his list of idiotic behavioural incidents seems to be longer than that of most cricketers to whom the words "class act" is applicable.

  • @pubuman Point me to such a list and if I consider it valid, I swear on my mother's grave I will return to kowtow at your feet in abject apology.

  • @Royalencrypter Really? Ahead of Donald Bradman?

  • @tommyboy9101 Kallis ahead of both of them.

  • @if5tatement Its funny when people talk about all time great batsmen Kallis is mentioned just behind Tendi, Ponting and so on...though his average is just as good as theirs...but then, how does their bowling match up to his? Give me 10 x Kallis and 1 x Gillie and i will give you the best team ever to have plaid the game!

  • @Lokolan ...gillie? no, flower.

  • @Lokolan Kallis isn't as good a batsmen as Tendi, Ponting or KP. He is very good though. My average is 67. I'm not better than all of them.

  • @HobsonMatthewJ Mate if Kallis was in your village his average would be 67k!

  • @Royalencrypter Yeah with an average of 13 in the last ashes series, id think hed be at number 3 too.....

  • whhhey! haha, thats one 2 tell the grandkids, lol

  • Gary Pratt: getting shouted beers across the land!

  • Aussie's = Bad winners and very bad losers......and they call us whingers Haha!

  • Poms= just bad hahahaha

  • There's only one Gary Pratt!

  • now all the poms come out of the wood work!

    Wait until later this year, u wont hear shit from them!!!

    except maybe whinging.....

  • There's only one Prat in this video and he's got a face like a well-slapped arse. Nice call Ricky !

  • @akshunyob

    Ignore 530649 mate.

    And I'll think you'll find it was the Anzacs, the Yanks, the Russians, the Indians..... etc. etc. etc!

  • such bad losers are the aussies ..

  • yes TRUE and theyre putting a thumbs down to this comment to prove it bad losers wankers and sore winners

  • The only reason that this video is on YouTube is because all u dumb fucking pommys have sat sat back over the last 5 years and watch this man absolute smash ur bowlers it's not a competition when your boys fly over here to play cricket but when we go over there it's still no competition as your gay little country is pissing down in the middle of fucking summer.

  • HAHAHAHAHA, bitter? an Australian? never :P

  • Want a pint mate? Bitter?

  • @aussie123ify remind me who is holding the ashes right now you idiot

  • good throw

  • gary pratt is now playing for bishop auckland

  • funniest cricket moment in my life that run out next to warnes drop

  • its funny because ur a dumbass

  • Ponting isn't too popular amongst australians. People dont exactly rally around Ponting. Hes a runs machine, not an inspiring champion.

    And yes well be back and possibly 5-0 the next series.

    Australia has such an imbedded system of clinics tuition and selection nation wide for cricket+other sports. i cant see the aussie team falling behind for more than a year or two each decade.

  • all the aussie cunts do is moan

    Like your shit ok get over it and going shave your legs you gay bastards

    nah but seriously ive been to aus and the cunts shave there legs, says it all

  • Just like to also point out that Australia are now no4 in the world! BAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHA!

  • Chucked out for what? his captaincy may not be perfect but hes got a lot more character than any of you pommie frontrunners. Hes a true champion with the runs on the board, we got beat 2-1 by the weather and a couple of dickhead umpires, and we played poorly. I f we play well we wipe your pommie arses.

    Roll on the ashes in a couple of years.

    Dare I say it? 5-0 again.

  • ijk240695, if the Aussie public have forgiven Ponting all this drunken fighting and making out with men, will they forgive him surrendering the Ashes twice? He brought good teams with him, and (imvhvao) should now be considered as a senior batsman, but not captain.

  • You did'nt get beaten by the weather or the umpires, you got beaten by England. Now stop moaning and take your loss like a man you winging Aussie baby.

  • Er... If any team plays well then they will win... that is sort of the definition of playing well you fucking moron! The weather? Bahahaha! The weather saved you being further down. Moron!

  • You did not get beaten by the weather you got beaten by the way you played to/in that weather. Not bringing a spinner to the Oval was a mistake, nobody would claim that a football team would be any good at Cricket since they have the wrong skills, same thing here the selectors picked the guys with the wrong skills for the pitch.

  • Its amazing how the 2005 and 2009 Ashes series are exactly the same with Ponting being run-out.

  • I have a premonition that this will happen again to ponting in 2009 as well.

    Does he ever learn???? lol....

  • As an Indian, in the defense of the Aussies, I gotta say this -- all I hear is 2005 and now 2009 Ashes defeat. I never get to hear of the 2006 whitewash, lol Boy, did that make a joke out of the English players! But anyway, Brits have given us the reason to watch Ashes. Else Ashes was boringly one-sided for two decades.

  • pontings the most hated man since fucking fuck knw all im saying is that hes a cunt

  • Comment removed

  • Ricky Ponting Is A Dirty Bastard

  • After the 2009 series dickie ponting will be 'chucked out'.

  • well said mate

  • BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,

    Were not like the Indians or the English, changing captains like our underpants!

    The only way ponting will be 'chucked out' will be when he retires.

  • Then australia doesnt have a chance of improving.

  • Lol no he wont... He'll be "chucked out" when he chooses to retire. Look at his fucking record, and think in the Ashes, he was one of the best players for Australia...

  • *strengths

  • hmmmm... ok, lets talk about that 438 game...

    *grin*

  • gary pratt is a genius

  • i love how the English only ever talk about the game they win

  • what so do you talk about games when you lose?

  • occasionally, but not heaps. It's mostly discussions about why we loss and stuff like that

  • lol you retard

  • lol but if you think about it, you can't become better without talking about and analysing your own game. Then you can work on your weaknesses and keep your stregths up

  • Yeah because it's only the Auessies who do that.

  • HA HA Fuck off Ponting...

  • @jamestampere HA HA Second highest run scorer of all time...

  • @ekoez1 averaged less tham 15 in series just gone, with a 51 not out loool if he didnt get that he'd be in single figures.

  • @ekoez1 I can't be bothered finding out if you're correct or not! I am simply stating that him being run out by a substitute and then throwing his teddy out of his pram on live tv was rather funny. ;-) 3-1 :-)

  • Ponting R : 48 Run Out (Pratt)

  • yeah, 48 more runs than Pratt will ever make in his international career

  • Its no good getting upset with the scorecard mate !

    But you know, you are right. Getting run out by a non England regular, must make old Ricky feel sooo much better Im sure. :)

  • Ricky got pratted

  • I loved that wicket.
