It was thus bewildering that at an awards ceremony in Melbourne last month, Ponting took offence at former England spinner Phil Tufnell's taped send-up of Australia's Ashes campaign. Ponting said he wouldn't have minded so much had Tufnell "ever really done anything against Australia."

...saying “On a scale from one to ten, how much do you want to have sex with me?” Just try to run through your “Top 5” first before moving onto lower-echelon type sluts. BTS2 Gear: Punxatawney Phil has spoken, and he says there’s going to be six more weeks of winter. That means two things. First, he’s predicted the same thing six years in a row, and maybe he should be reminded of the choices. Second, though the weather has been decidedly...
