"Here We Are Again"

I was thinking some more about monday's post, and the great effort by Ricky Ponting and Andrew Symonds.

Suddenly i noticed the similarity to the 2003 world cup match against Pakistan. Again, Australia had been in trouble, when Symonds joined Ponting at the crease. Whatever Ponting said to Symonds - it certainly did the trick. Symonds played better than he had ever before and deservedly won the man of the match award - and many new fans.

So when Ponting and Symonds combined again last Sunday, it may well have been a case of "We've got out of this before - we can get out of it again". Same thing goes in life. There are ups and there are downs. Good patches and bad patches. Somehow we always manage to get through the tough times, and on to better times. The trick is, when we go through another bad patch, to remember that "We've got out of this before - we can get out of it again".
