Ricky Ponting singing the Mark Waugh song ‘the TV moment of the year’ according to BBL fans

RICKY Ponting sent social media into a frenzy during the Sixers’ clash with the Hurricanes after belting out the Mark Waugh song in the commentary box. WATCH HERE!

RICKY Ponting knows how to entertain a crowd and although he wasn’t playing in the Sixers’ clash with the Hurricanes at the SCG, his rendition of the Mark Waugh song had fans (and his fellow commentators) in stitches.

Sitting alongside Waugh and Mark Howard, Ponting sang the song and sent social media into a frenzy with fans hailing it “the TV moment of the year”.

It didn’t take long for #RickySinging to start trending.

“The tune was good, I don’t think my singing was any good,” Ponting said afterwards.

THE MARK WAUGH SONG

“Mark Waugh is an Aussie

“He wears a baggy cap

“And when he saw the bookie’s cash

“He said ‘Im having that’

“He shared it out with Warnie

“They went and had some beers

“And when the ACB found out

“The covered it up for years.”

Looking forward to someone making a techno version of #rickysinging #BBL06

Punter singing the Barmy Army song that sledges Mark Waugh's history with bookies is my new favourite thing. #RickySinging #BBL06

Mark Howard was laughing uncontrollably in the box

Ricky Ponting singing the Barmy Army song to Mark Waugh about Mark Waugh taking the bookies money. Maybe the best TV moment of the year.
