Ricky Ponting made history against South Africa at the SCG in 2006, following up his first-innings hundred with another in the second innings to steer Australia to victory
Punter in his prime was simply untouchable.there is a reason why they were called the invincibles during those time .that team will be one of the greatest team ever in the history of any sports and they and the west indies of 1980s combined they were the best team ever to grace the cricketing field
In 2004 to 2006 ESPN starsports not telecasted in India, but I have seen in Collage library news paper Pointing hits 100s in both innings of 100th test. Still remember that day in 2006
@@ashishyadava4576 dravid was tough to get out. Ponting wasn't as defensive as dravid was he was extremely aggressive and used to play with the bowlers like they were from club cricket
It’s incredible when Ponting had average of 59 and change back in the day but too bad he lost his form or else he would had made 15k + runs in both tests and odi
This was a good test match. Graeme Smith deserves applause for the sporting declaration he made on the final day to set up a contest. The brilliance of Punter and Haydos ensured a victory for Australia. Good days of cricket, those were.
@@abhishekshah7594 lol, wining worldcup is team effort. He has already won two ICC MOS and won U-19 worldcup. Petty on your cricket knowledge. Cricket is team game. Not individual sport. Ricky has good team to win cups. Unlike India, who always heavily depend on top orders.
@@arunkv432 oh really? That's why India keeps failing in major knock out games....2015 Wc ,2017 Ct ,2019 Wc and many others....What good is it if you win MoS if you cannot guide your country to the biggest trophies on the planet...and talking about Ricky's all conquering team , India is in a similar phase right now under Kohli , still we are only focused on Bilateral cups...Cheers to all biased people ...
Ponting at its best is a treat to watch.he can play same shots on front foot and back foot equally good.ponting comes in a category of strokes player if he gets going it’s best then even Lara and Sachin just listen the sound from its blade it’s unbeatable
2:42 is the shot of a pure genius. Among other extraordinary shots that he played, this stands out because that was actually a good ball to most batsmen in test cricket. And his straight drives to spinners is something very few people talk about. His foot movement is so underrated to spinners. Truly one of a kind, the only player I consider that came close to Sachin and now Kohli in terms of technique and class.
I remember watching this, at the time I thought Ponting was such a veteran, a hero, but he was only 31!!! Time flies, but Ricky will always be one of the greatest.
@Nithun Raj actually he struggled only against harbhajan that too only in tests he had a marvellous record in sri lanka which had murltharan and in odi he use to play with harbhajan as a toy too
It is difficult sometimes to wrap around the fact of how he always has that "one extra second" to get in to position and pull the ball ever so graciously!
There was a point when as a kid i got confused about how Mr George Bush started to play cricket. He almost looked similar to him. But one of the really amazing captains and batsmen of the Australian team .
In the era when only 1 ball was used throughout the match and 150 was considered fast pace and 140 was considered good pace. In the era when reverse swing made difficult to score runs because old ball was hard to hit, this man shined brighter than anyone else. Best Batsmen ever. G.O.A.T Cricketer G.O.A.T Captain.
Kohli and Ponting both scored 41 centuries in their prime years. Ponting (2002 - 2007) & Kohli (2014 - 2019). Kohli and Ponting have similar statistics in ODI but in tests, Ponting is way ahead of Kohli. I think by the end of Kohli's career... He'll be close to Ricky may be even ahead.

Good test match. Looks one sided by the end but a terrific declaration by Smith trying for the win. You should always risk it to win it. Sometimes it doesnt work but hats off for having a go. Aust and SA play the game in a similar manner with a similar attitude. Always a good series to watch. Ponting's true avg was closer to 60 for the important part of his career before 2007. The stats on him lie a little due to the very rapid late career decline...plus he always played aggressively for a team win rather than for himself. I loved that about Lara as well. Proper Champions.
Ponting drives through the offside, especially through extra cover. If you can imagine a leopard; reticulating just before the shot. Englishman here. Ponting was so special.
Ponting in his peak easily beat sachin and lara .Such a terrific player he is Being the best captain and best player is a rare quality displayed by him .
00:01:44 Eddie Betts: Has he got it?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! That’s it! 50 for our man, Ricky Ponting! Well played, sir! Dustin Fletcher: Well done, Punter!
Most of the greatest batters have huge records but no or few icc trophies...... But ponting has all, great record, all the ICC trophies, scorer in big matches and finals..... What else you need? Simply the greatest captain and batter of all time.
