People in sport who surprise you

[Woodsyla]

Ricky Ponting

 

He brought his side to England, lost an Ashes series and handled it with dignity, never blamed anyone, never searched for excuses, held his hands up and admitted they were outplayed. Rather than go into his shell, he has established himiself as the number one bastsman in the World over the next 18 months and thrashed the old enemy. Today he deflected inflammatory remarks from his coach by suggesting they could be designed to stop his players taking their foot off the gas.

 

Stand up Ricky Ponting, gentleman and top class sportsman. About as un Aussie as you could get really
