Ricky Ponting - Arrogant Aussie

Ricky Ponting has taken on the mantle of Glen McGrath and predicted a 6-0 Australia win in the up coming Ashes series.
Ponting said, “A 6-0 whitewash is absolutely possible. There’s no reason why not. It’s all in our hands. It’s how well we play and how well we take charge of different situations.”
The Australia captain was in charge during the 2006-07 series, when Andrew Flintoff’s men fell to the first Ashes whitewash for 76 years.
However, Ponting suddenly became agitated when it was pointed out that there are only 5 games in the series. After composing himself he went into a verbal tirade at the unsuspecting reporters.
“Who cares if there are only 5 games. We are Australians, the most cocky, arrogant country behind the United States of America. We will tell you by how much we will beat the opposition by and you will listen and respect our view.” The rest of the press conference was directed at Ponting’s new KFC advert.
