'Punter' hates taking a chance

When it comes to his batting, Ponting is reluctant to take a chance.

Ponting insists that his wife watches every ball he faces when at the crease and that she sits in a seat with the No 14 on the back. Otherwise he reckons he won't score many at all.

Mrs Ponting has obviously been adhering to her husband's rules at Brisbane's Gabba ground. Ponting has left many bowlers wishing they didn't have to watch and wondering whether their wives had placed themselves in seat No 13.

A strange obsession for a man nicknamed 'Punter'.
