MOHAMMAD SAMI SMACKS RICKY PONTING IN THE FACE.......

[TheChipwich]

Ponting is a tough bastard.

[Mirpuria]

Crazy not to wear helmet because its HOT!

[dj6ful]

Once the commentator gives the batsman a wrap, he either plays a poor shot, gets hit or gets out

[bajajsami]

Come on ponting u know very well man that you r playing with terrorists killers so yu should mind about your safery bro...lolzz

[keyurmevada]

didi he told" best hooker"?? lolD

[ashishtandon07]

commentary from 1:00 to 1:05 is priceless..."ricky ponting, probably one of the best hooker in the world...at the moment" !!! sometimes these cricketing terms can be pretty misleading :D

[mostamazingguy]

Respect paid to Sami from India nice one

[Mrammy144]

now on he will put halmet!

[yasirjam1]

if it was akhtar, we would have had two pontings.

[MrDragoonlair]

@kedharf1 did Shaun Tait show any courtesy to  the world by going up to AB De Villiers and exchanging friendly words when he expressed paced his ribs.

[saad956]

@kedharf1 there shouldn't be any courtesy for douchebag like ponting. See his video when he gets hit by sreesanth on his face and yells at him to go back and bowl.

[Qazi4000]

Lol , look at Sami , hes like fuck it hes gay

[11deevan]

Sami should have gone to ricky and showed some concern,he went to his bowling mark instead......not good for cricket.

[bleedbluedohazaar11]

thats how men should be playing with no helmets to fast bowlers and wetting it against spinner..now we can competer with rugby players :p

[MrAzianINVazian]

Ponting head butted the ball. It wasn't even a bouncer, lol.

[tarun13garg]

Ricky Ponting the best Hooker in the world... Hahahah at 1.01

[xpat73]

Too bad it wasn't Michael Holding bowling....

[krtmddhs]

@niralipvyas

if it was shoaib,he would already hav brought helmet

[robelinda2]

@krtmddhs Ive uploaded the entire innings, he faced plenty of Shoaib with no helmet. Check out the one day ton in Pakistan i uploaded of pontings, he also faced Shoaib with no helmet in 1998.

[sarmadrf]

@robelinda2 thats not amusing to hear cause shoaib did hit many on head with his sting

[sallu05]

@robelinda2 if he dint wear a helmet facing shoaib,its not prudence in the end!

[robelinda2]

@sallu05 well it was, he faced Shoaib with no helmet and scored an unbeaten hundred and won the series. Shoaib is a pussy.

[KaptaanCricket]

@robelinda2 ROB Bro I Love Your videos But Please if You Want Me To respect Aussies You have To Respect My Country Too!!!

[redkomz71]

@krtmddhs

exactly ;)

[Qazi4000]

@krtmddhs if it was shoaib , his and he bowled a bouncer it will hit his head so damn hard the ball would go for six

[dmx666uk]

dude got a brik jaw nice sami is nice as well

[grazioli82]

What an idiot, he has a wife/kids/family who need him to be healthy. That could have crippled him. The bravest thing to do is to swallow your pride and do what's right

[onlinefriend4ever]

Facing 90mph bowler without helmet :-)

[johnwillsful]

It doesn't matter if Ponting made 150 or not later on. We're talking about this particular delivery and he really made himself look like a fool over here as this delivery was quick and sharp and hit on his face and since he wasn't wearing a helmet, he got hurt.

[sweetnothing1977]

Viv would have smacked that out of the ground.

[nickfranklin1993]

Ponting has to be the toughest fucking player in world cricket.

[MegadethCricket]

The reason Ponting got hit is because he is used to playing with a helmet. So he doesn't have the natural instinct to GTFO of the way of the ball.

[sweetnothing1977]

@MegadethCricket Exactly. This is the reason why someone like Viv was so good because he NEVER wore a helmet. When you are used wearing a helmet and one fine morning decide not to, this is what happens: even someone as utter shite as Sami can hit you. Disappointing.

[bobbythelord]

WHAT A WARRIOR. Sheer proof why Ponting> Tendulkar

[robelinda2]

@TheFunkstain Yeah Ponting looked stupid making 150. Sami tried hard but was FAIL. like his whole career.

[CFAN123]

@robelinda2 the other thing to remember is that it was about 50 degrees that day in sharjah, the sweat would have been pouring out of his helmet

[CFAN123]

@CFAN123 Ponting is a legend bloody tough

[IbnShareef]

arrogance can get you killed ricky

[robelinda2]

@IbnShareef pretty sure Sami got killed, Ponting made 150.

[sweetnothing1977]

@robelinda2 Sami is absolute tosh. I think he is used to being hammered all day. What is disappointing here is someone as good as Ponting letting someone as shite as Sami hit him on the chin. That should have been hooked for 6!

[sachin229]

Haha, the commentator said "Ricky pointing the best hooker in the world"

[s8tank]

@sachin229 Erm... he is,

[ashish52257]

"""SAALA HERO BNTA HAI""

[ashish52257]

thanx to sami...agr thodi aur tez krwata to achha rhta....shitty ponting

[FozziBearAli]

I like how Sami (the bowler) walks away casually as if nothing awkward had just happened :)

[zerounite]

moral of the story is always wear your damn helmet against pace bowlers

[robelinda2]

@zerounite Why? Ponting didnt care, went on to smash Sami everywhere for 150.

[scartillery]

@robelinda2 Because its generally not good for your health? lol

[robelinda2]

@scartillery Ponting didnt seem too fazed. Sami was bowling medium pace in 50 degree heat.

[s8tank]

@robelinda2 The guys right, health is much more important than one innings. That ball could have hit Ponting in the temple and seriously injured him or worse.

[MrDragoonlair]

@robelinda2 how the hell is that medium pace, speedometer reads 87.2mph and express pace begins at 85mph

[zerounite]

@robelinda2 It's not about if he cared or not. It's about safety

[uma1rkhan]

the commentator just said, Rickys probably the best hooker in the world :s 1:00 - 1:02

[najamaabbas]

He gotta strong chin, he should fight Manny Pacquiao.

[OwzatOllie]

tough bastard

[MrRonsmagic]

punter tough as ever...didnt give even an inch of moral victory to the opposition...

[rahulram91]

ponting is a legend, but i'm glad we have helmets

[theuglyhairmonster2]

@rahulram91 i have to wear a helmet due to the fact i wear glasses but it kept slipping down my head in the nets. first delivery after i took it off i get beamed! by my own team mate!

[abynov]

@robelinda2 Did you saw the one which Yadav bowled to Ponting today ? I was watching this very clip last night and something similar happened today at mcg.

[mittar21]

I think after this hit, he never forgets to wear a helmet lolzz

[mittar21]

Which year is it??

[abdevilliers4u]

When he saw sami not coming and apologising he just stands up and showed him who is he...He is the champion...he whitewashed Pakistan in that TestSeries 3-0 !

[abdevilliers4u]

I Like Ponting..Wat a Tough Guy Amazing !

[tonytst88]

1.00 mins "Ricky ponting the best hooker in the world!" haha

[MegaMiner49er]

lack of concentration.... still brave.....

[MegaMiner49er]

One of the most brave gestures by a living classic...... reminds me of Gavaskar in Windies...... thumbs up....

[timmyedmundson]

I remember when ponting got hit in the face by Prior in 09 Ashes, He's a tough nut. Some people would leave the field if this happened or leave when they score a hundred and have a tiny bit of cramp from shit fitness

[puntxyz]

TOUGHEST CRICKETER OF OUR ERA!

[thrillamf]

He's got a good chin, should've tried his hand at boxing!

[harshkalra90]

I dont see how this is something great. Sunil Gavaskar dint ever wear a helmet. Hot or Cold. Facing spin or pace of Marshall, Holding, Roberts, and the likes. They were defiantly much more dangerous than Sami.

[TopGearDog431]

highlight of sami's career loool

[assilemneimad1]

1-150. Looks like they were in trouble

[toursanxterme11]

Ricky Ponting best hoker in the world!!!! hahahahahahaha,Thommo is a LEGEND!!!

[lax1028]

Wonder what now Flop POMPING wanted to prove here....Lost his Captaincy as well as brains !!

[nottellingu0]

WHO DO INDIANS HATE MORE PONTING OR PAKISTAN?!?!

i think this video has left the indian haters confused.

p.s. ponting > flopdulkar xD

[niralipvyas]

if the ball was little up, it could have killed ponting. he was lucky that it was not shoaib.

[robelinda2]

@niralipvyas Ive also uploaded Pontings hundred in 1998 against Shoaib, no helmet then too....

[parikhkaran]

@robelinda2 Hey can you share the link for that video. Thanks a lot for all the videos mate. Cheers.

[robelinda2]

@parikhkaran Its on my channel, i think you can find it.

[dilkashh]

@robelinda2

lmao. rob, why is your come back not top comment? it's a hilarious and an awesome comeback to niralipvyas. "if the ball was a little up, it could have killed ponting"....lmao. what an imbecile! ponting walks into the ball because his mind was not blank...more of a batsman's freeze in his batting mindset during backlift moment. all batsmen have it. in this case, ponting just went across onto front foot but the ball was already bowled off of offstump n so hit him. dachamp just gets up

[pritammstr]

@robelinda2 captain of UAE zardari did same against alan donald in 1996 WC...champion zardari...and his batting average matched doanld's bowling ave ...just like sami's bowling average is somewhat nearer to ponting's batting

[niralipvyas]

@robelinda2 you mean shoaib akhtar? just wanted to confirm, as there was a bowler shoaib malik. i would love to see that video. can you put the link pls...i usually get lost in the galaxies of your cricket collection.

[handdymate]

@niralipvyas sami is just as quick mate

[shabazmohammed786]

@niralipvyas u mean it is unlucky :p

[dilkashh]

dear watchers,

it wasn't a boucner of great calibre. ricky walked into a short height bouncer instead of leaving it. as you can see he just stood there. this can only mean one thing....ricky's mind was not clear....he was thinking about something. you could see from how his feet move while sami is running in. in all reality, ricky could have either left it or played it onto off side. this is just a minor glitch by ricky during his fantastic innings in this match.&the ball wasn't aimed at him.

[shaunlikescheese]

credit to sami though, if a batsmen isnt going to wear a lid, you give him your best bouncer. i know i would.

[jamal22066]

and obviously Ricky Ponting's ego prevented him from wearing a helmet even after getting hit.

[robelinda2]

@jamal22066 and the fact that he was hammering Sami all over the ground with ease......

[mainhundon1]

@robelinda2 and u can go and fuck urself

[robelinda2]

@mainhundon1 Angry?

[GPMLamb]

Absolute hero! I collapse like a sack of potatoes when I get hit by a tennis ball in the head, this man is a different class!

[indianpunjabi4u]

ponting has always been a brave man n he does it in his own way n he is a champion

[Zhardi87]

Ponting the best hooker in the world haha no doubt

[SuperTtam]

People always freak out about the temple area after that guy died =/

[hassanbinrasheed]

ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[noffty1209]

medium pacer

[MitchellJohnson25]

I remember Ricky getting hit in the face fielding at a really short cover during the Ashes and he just got back up like nothing really happened. Like Shane Warne said that day "he's tough as nails." Got to appreciate his confidence when it comes to facing a bloke bowling 90mph, not many cricketers these days would do that, that's why Ricky is such a great batsman.

[chasersbf]

Sami hits him without a helmet then walks back to his mark. Ponting gets on with it and hits a hundred. Good tough cricket. Need more of it.

[puntxyz]

TOUGHEST PLAYER! PUNTER!

[simonashari]

could I ask what year this is from?

[robelinda2]

@simonashari 2002 3rd test

[iRockNRolla28]

"Ricky the best hooker in the world" :D

On a more serious note, he is a great batsmen, what a champ!

[nickfranklin1993]

Fuck me, that's nuts.

[jumpnjza2]

WTF? Just gets back up? Fuck...

[SuperKingkhan111]

Best hooker in the` world.Aussie bastards

[Firefly0100]

@SuperKingkhan111 what an intelligent choice of words. You little kretin.

[SuperKingkhan111]

@Firefly0100 oh u mean cretin??? Check ur spelling .........uneducated idiot.

[Firefly0100]

@SuperKingkhan111 Actually they are both different words. You came here with a ridiculously stupid comment in the first place. Now kindly leave as no one wants you here.

[SuperKingkhan111]

@Firefly0100 People love me here.dont you worry about that.Have u ever been to a place called SCHOOL???

[Firefly0100]

@SuperKingkhan111 You came here and called aussies bastards for no reason. You must be jealous. You need to grow a brain and stop making stupid comments that make you sound like a dickhead.

[70s80sWINDIES]

i can't believe that viv richards faced like 20kmh faster than this without a helmet!

[theuglyhairmonster2]

@70s80sWINDIES every batsmen used to.....

[madaboutsleep]

I never liked the little fcuker but I'll be the first to say he was one tough SOB.

[dilkashh]

and still ended up making 150. greatness!!!!

[sateeshkumar16]

he might have thought Sami is just like those Indian 'fast' bowlers!!

[RobForesti]

@sateeshkumar16 Not to be disrespectful to "those" indian bowlers, but Sami is probably the worst bowler of the last 20 years. Unbelievable that he's from the same country of YK and the 2 Ws

[ncf1]

Ponting's had plenty of experience from bars around Sydney in his youth..

[ZMorpheus]

@ncf1 he always "snifffing" around. so his chin got trained for that one..

[mcloud78]

put a helmet one you little twat

[robelinda2]

@mcloud78 He made 150, he did just fine.

[TalkNTunes]

@robelinda2 Was he without a helmet the whole innings?

[crazycurry90]

im probably the biggest ponting basher ever but wow he can take a hit in the face like a boxer. im with rob thats as tough as viv.

[Ahmad12791]

how Ponting is trying to play a bowler with 90+ Miles speed without helmet?

[robelinda2]

@Ahmad12791 He seemed to do ok, he got 150.

[watch529]

@robelinda2

im curious what was the reasoning for not wearing the helmet i find that weird considering sami is quite fast

[robelinda2]

@watch529 Ponting often didn't wear a helmet back then, plus it was over 50 degrees in the middle, and Sami was bowling medium pace.

[watch529]

@robelinda2

cool and he has a good chin

[hh091]

@robelinda2 yeah rob 140kph is MEDIUM pace

[Penfold37250]

@Ahmad12791 He's not the first man to do it........but he might be the last.

[GetBackToNowhere]

Most other batsmen would've hit the ground like a sack of shit.

Ponting gets back up and plays on. Say whatever you like about Ponting but he's tough.

[imthemess]

@GetBackToNowhere lmao jimmy actually Viv's sprit was transfered into him :P

[kidbyers]

haha. Plenty of sympathy from Sami! Just turns around and goes back to his mark! :) poor punter

[imthemess]

u can hate akhtar as much as u can since now when his book is released but @robelinda2 the fact is if akhtar was a bowler he'd have come to ponting to see if he's ok or not like he did with lara.. thats the difference between sami n akthar.. sami n akthar both fast bowlers sami to me is like tait,, but akthar, he swings much better than him.. may be people are mad at him more cz he said my fav batsman are Viv, lara , punter,gilly, inzi & gavaskar..

[gunot5827]

that is insane from ponting, sami can be bloody quick on his day. no one other than ponting would do this tho lol hes a tough nut

[shashankrajkodesia]

1:00 - DID HE SAY" THE BEST HOOKER IN THE WORLD, at the moment . . "

[robelinda2]

@shashankrajkodesia Even Viv got hit a number of times with no helmet on.

[StormFlank6]

@robelinda2 yeah in that times helmet tech wasnt that good.... i believe ponting was a little dumb not wearing a helmet but if you are scoring runs and is in good nick you probly dont need a helmet...haha i wont do that in a game,,,

[arvindr25]

@robelinda2 that would make a great theme for an video - number of times the King himself got hit.

[SATULAL]

@shashankrajkodesia Can't argue with Thommo's view of that...this was in 2002 when he was going through his purple patch batting wise

[robertosteiner]

I remember this series so well; Mark Waugh's last series, Shane Warne's revival, Matthew Hayden and the bowlers defeating Pakistan by an innings! Australia was so immortal, that something like this seemed like nothing.
