Bookmaker Is Backing Ricky Ponting To Never Play Test Cricket Again

Ricky Ponting’s aim of playing in the next Ashes tour could be out of reach according to punters, with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au believing his career will end after the current West Indies tour and before the 2013 Ashes tour.

For his career to end in that time frame is priced at $1.70, while retirement after the completion of the Ashes is next in the market at $2.65.

To pull the plug at any time during the 2013 Ashes tour is seen as a long shot at $8.00.

He has been priced at $1.70 to not play another Ashes test, and $2.10 to do so at least one more time.

“He hasn’t set the world on fire in the West Indies and as much as it would be great to see him play in the Ashes one more time, we don’t think time is on his side,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
