Cricketers have girl babies and the captain of Australia is no exception.
For years I thought he already had a few girls, but when Mrs P announced she had a bun in the oven, at the AB Medal night back in January, it was revealed the child would be their first.
The captain's firstborn is a girl.
Said child popped out this morning, and they have named her Emmy Charlotte. Emmy Ponting. Pretty enough, but wouldn't Emily or Emma have sufficed? Still. Beats Apple.
When Michael Vaughan's wife had their first child, Talullah, the air force did a flyover during a match, as a salute to the captain's firstborn. Pretentious rubbish that I hope we're spared.
Let's also hope they spare her the indignity of a "welcome to the world" magazine photo shoot.
Congrats, Punter.

Three cheers to our Capt and our First Lady, hip hip!
Is naming a child after an award an Australian tradition?
I first saw your 'tags' section and then read your post. Was wondering what MV was doing alongside the Ponting family and for a moment thought you were to unfold some controversy.
Tame ending.
Well scheduled.
Michael Vaughan's wife had their first child, Talullah
Hopefully her middle names weren't "Does The Hula From Hawaii".
Hopefully her middle names weren't "Does The Hula From Hawaii".
Lol; Number 16 Bus Shelter is one of the better names I've seen recently.
If the Beckhams can name a child after the place of conception, why can't the less well heeled?
Hi, you don't know me but your blog is very cool. =)
I'm also a fan of cricket, although I don't look like it. Lol.
How long have you had this blog for?
Mouri. =]
Talullah's actual middle name is Grace...
I think you are confusing 'fly-by' with 'flying past'. By the same mark, I had a fly-by of a Spitfire yesterday whilst fishing (and it was pretty impressive).
re Michael Vaughan's baby: is her first rule of thumb that she doesn't say where she's going or where she's coming from?
My current least-favourite celebrity baby name is from Kidman (Sunday Rose) because it sounds like sunday roast.
