Es nicht gut!
Dear Ricky Ponting,
Is it something we did? We miss you and we need you.
If you want to have a holiday, please just say, don't go getting your stunt double to do the job for you, we're better off with Brad Hodge.
And next time, please don't go out of mobile phone range so we can ring you and tell you to hurry back while your captaincy and all is still secure.
We hope to see you very soon. If you need counseling, please don't hesitate to contact me. For you I'm available at any hour of the day.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Field for Cricket Australia

He has a back related form issue.
Which all started when the rug was placed on top.
Coincidence, i think not.
You're so right!
He's the anti-Samson.
I've just swapped him out of my fantasy cricket side, so he is GUARANTEED to start performing from now on.
As an English fan, I can tell you what's happened to Ricky Ponting:
Justice.
Justice?!
We won those Ashes back fair and square!
Ran out on a miss-field?
Where's chivalry these days?
I think the Indian bowlers got to him a bit, harbhajan in the early tests and then Ishant Sharma has been bowling amazing to him. Just lacking confidence....its amazing I am saying that for Ricky but it proves he is human.
They are still winning matches though...which matters more...than his scores...
Chinaman I wonder the same thing myself.
Sporting Spirit, you are right at least we're winning, but not as convincingly as we were not too long ago. And yeah, Ricky Ponting never used to be human. He was a machine! Now I think he's changing into a human. Hopefully not for long.
Have you seen Yuvraj Singh's scores lately?
I bet Ponting looks like 100 x Bradman when compared to Yuvraj.
