His bird and his sister, who also happens to be the team analyst.

Even with that crippled knee hes still more legendary than any of your players.

 

[Covvy]

Have to agree with that.

Thought I would do I delve in the bag as well. Click for larger picture.This is Ricky Ponting looking on in disbelief as somebody runs of with his tube of "Bonjela". Unfortunately it was one of the few things he managed to catch this series, and a spokesman for Mr Ponting could not confirm that he had been approached to star in a campaign for the Herpes Awareness Association. When asked further on the matter Mr Ponting replied; "Read My Lips!"

Yeah, real legendary... 5 hundreds and 3 five fers from 79 tests is real legendary. :sarcasm

 

[Covvy]

But it's Freddie Hoops.....

One of these days Hooper will understand that it's not the stats we love him for.

 

[Hooper]

I don't normally bring up stats, just when its Fred and people mention legendary I have to bring them out..

Examples of legends: Warne, McGrath, Gilchrist
Examples of non-legends: Fred Flintoff, Stuart Broad, Andrew Strauss (could become?)

 

[evertonfan]

Tell that to someone who cares. Anyone who pisses in the Primeministers flowerbed is a legend in my eyes.

 

[Covvy]

Not Australian-biased Hoops

Look at it this way, when Fred lost the Ashes, nobody started threads hailing the importance of beating the indomitable Lancastrian. Stuff like this is only an homage to Ponting. :laugh

My highlight of the series still remains the last wicket stand at Cardiff. Could hardly watch.

Although when Haddin went on Sunday I finally allowed myself believe which lead to the outbrust of some much pent up emotion

Not my fault most modern legends of the game happen to come from Australia and that none come from the land of the whingeing geezer.
