Ponting Blamed for National Disaster in Australia

Apparently he is now being held responsible for the floods in Queensland having spent the whole of the Melbourne test on his knees praying for rain!

You're an idiot......there are people after the owners of this website now.......you've pissed off a lot of people with this article

A bit near the nuckle I know, like the ball that broke poor Ponting's finger. The Aussies are blaming the poor guy for everything else and the commentators kept saying during the test that he was praying for rain so...

People have died - have you no shame or morals?

Hammersfan said...

They haven't died because of this and looking at the front of some papers in Oz, you would be forgiven for thinking that the new lad's 37 was the bigger news story. Floods of Biblical proportions. They will allow two koalas on the Ark, two kangaroos, two dingos, but no bloody cricketers after Melbourne!

As an Aussie, Ponting's captaincy is the major national disaster. Utterly useless captain whose decision making is totally reactive, can't set a proper field, is a whinging little turd and can't even bat anymore, he should piss off and take his little lovechild Michael Clarke with him. That and the selectors can all piss off too.

Stani Army said...

Can I just make clear that I didn't know about the floods and that people died. Hence my ignorant comment.

Hammersfan said...

Stani, watch the news mate! The floods don't seem to be getting in the way of the Aussie's enjoyment of the test do they? Lots of silly hats, lots of beer being drunk, lots of celebrating.

Those that have died were trying to drive through the floods apparently. Not the best of decisions. Although an area of ground the size of France and Germany has been flooded, we are not talking a Pakistan style disaster.

I know, but I still felt bad. Had I known people died, I wouldnt have made the Zola joke. I thought it was floods like floods we get here. Did you hear about the earthquake in Cumbria?!

I do watch the news!...well not the news you watch anyway ;) just been busy recently.

Do you watch PressTV HF? Sky channel 515?

Yeh, the Pakistan flood was one of the biggest disasters of modern times. It's put that country back 100 years HF. Not what it needed.

The initial post was in bad taste - and it's not the first time that you've not had the common decency to respect the dead... anyway HF I shall remind you that what goes around comes around.

Stani - don't worry mate - you weren't to know, especially after HF's frivolous post - HF has admitted that he did know and must take blame for making light of a very serious matter.

Hammersfan said...

Yep I too will die some day and you will no doubt raise a glass and laugh if still alive yourself. Life's a bitch!

I do remember having a bloody good laugh on the day of my father's funeral. You should try it sometime, it is a great healer. We were caught in a ferry fire once in the North Sea - standing by lifeboats - and even at that point the "gallows humour" was there, especially when the first ship to arrive on the scene to rescue us was called the Poseidon.

How many Diana jokes have you heard? How many jokes about all sorts of terrible events around the world?

I hope people have a good laugh at my funeral. I sure as hell won't know about it!

Hammersfan said...

In fact, I'm going to book a stand up comic if I find I'm terminal and write it into my will in case I go out in a rush. What a great way to sign off. In fact, we could sell the dvd to pay for the cardboard coffin and the bonfire!

Thanks 13:22

HF, Yep, some people do deal with death with humour I suppose. Like Spike Milligan who has the words "I told you I was ill" engraved on his grave headstone. Legend.

HF is every thing that is wrong with this society, he is an uncultured and a uncivilized person. An unenlightened and barbaric idolater who thinks nothing of laughing at Diana jokes. His family and his parents were lowlifes from the very dregs of society who taught him nothing, god have mercy on them all for they are godless.

Hammersfan said...

LOL You, sir, need to get a life.

Seriously some posters on here need to lighten up and not take everything to heart. Humour is just that, humour. It is not to be misinterpreted as a direct attack on the unfortunate up in Queensland. Knowing the normal postings of the "anonymous" poster (stalker) on this blog all the distruntled posters on this site are probably one in the same. Keep up the humour Fanno and Happy New Year to you and your family. Melbourne Hammer. (I'm at work at can't log in)

Cheers Melbourne mate. Another great England day! The series is very nearly ours!

I'm still at work HF so can't log in, but just found out my dingo drowned on my front lawn trying to rescue my Roo that was being attacked by a Tiger shark. I now think that your post was disgusting - the benefit of hindsight and a few stubbies eh. I will laugh at your funeral if I can dry off the black suit I've had on since the ashes. Are you going to be cremated and put in a small urn mate?

Melbourne Hammer.

I wouldn't have run the article now mate, things have taken a much nastier turn. Yeah, they can burn me, urn me and argue the toss over me if they like!
