Re: ::The official IPL Thread::
I'm not a Ponting fan. I am just saying that Ponting carries some of sort of lucky charm on him. If u check the games played by Australia whenever he is included, u will notice they always seem to win and when he is out they are thrashed so badly. Do u remember their one day series with new zealand just before the world cup when Ponting was not included? If I'm not wrng they were beaten 3-0 in the tourny and when Ponting was again brought back in the world cup they won the series without a single loss.
If u check the IPL series also u will notice the Kolkatta team has gone undefeated. I think Ponting carries some sort of charisma which inspires other players in the team. He seems to have some sort of overbearing and haughty attitude which shakes off the timidness in other players.
