what legends, both of you. nasser dont sell yourself short, you were an epic leader, determined and hard nosed. as an aussie i would think england would give their left foot to have you leading their superstars now. imagine bazball with more backbone and hard edged attitude. still such a loss to have lost Shane so early.
You're right Nas was a very good captain and tough competitor. His captaincy was particularly impressive because England were bottom of ICC Test rankings when he took over.
Wonderful words thank you. Yes I think if anything Hussain is under appreciated as both captain and batsman. He was a truly tough competitor and cared deeply. Winning in Pakistan then SL (against Murali and all) remains one of England’s finest achievements in the last 25 years.
Hussain and Ponting commentating together at Headingley during that Stokes & Leach partnership was amazing. Ponting especially was calling what was going to happen and commentated as a fan of the game and not an Aussie pundit. They made what was an awesome sporting moment.
It was one of the truly great rearguard innings. That England pace attack was one of the finest in the last 50 years, truly high quality and those Ozzies knew it.
Nass talking about the 207 knock always has a special place in my heart. The 1997 Ashes was the first series I watched on TV, and started my passion for the game.
These two are one of the best commentators in the world now. Brilliant how after being players they have taken up broadcasting such easily and brilliantly.
I have always admired Australian's for the brand of cricket they played from 1999-2000's. Loved Ponting's attitude and his batting(especially pull shot)
Hated ricky as a player because he was brilliant but as a broadcaster he is superb along with nasser & Athers it just works,& works really well,could listen to that trio all day
Such a fabulous way to lock horns with a bit of Ashes in hindsight!! I like Ricky for his grit and determination. On Nasser, I love his eloquence when it comes to commentating on key moments of a game! Overall a great interview with laughter in between!!
Ricky Ponting was one of the best in his era and Nasser was more of an astute captain and a good test batsmen. Not many accept their limitations and Nasser rightly said that with limited skills he did over achieve as a player. Ricky was next level itself, as a batsmen as a captain. Loved their interactions, they should bring in more ex players for this interaction.
What an excellent segment ! Excellent combination of Nas & Punter. We need more cricketing heroes of that era to be interviewing each other ! Fabulous concept ♥️✨👌👍👏
Seriously though. He was timing the ball so well. I remember seeing a straight drive he hit in that game that made such a ridiculous sound off the bat. Ponting in full flight was something to behold.
@The96drummerboy it was an Incredible innings he hit a number of straight drives that innings against Simon Jones. I was so frustrated when he got out because I thought I'm about to witness one of the greatest innings of all time
I think it was Nasser with Beefy when Beefy kicked off about a backward square leg on the boundary for Jayasuriya. "What have they got a fielder out there for.. The wide long hop?" Nasser defended the fielding position. Next ball - wide long hop - Jaya slapped the ball straight down that fielders throat.
Nas is a little harsh on himself, or insanely humble. 32 test wins from 96 matches. It's no secret he played through a poor period of English cricket, but he gave it his all as he said and scored 14 centuries along the way - not a bad career.
Absolutely. Nasser was an excellent player. Sure he wasn't in the top echelon but very few players are. The vast majority of players are going to come up short when they compare themselves to Ricky Ponting!
The difference is Australia were 360-2 at the end of day 1 and won the test by 400 odd runs. At Egbaston Australia had still bowled England out although for 410 and they only lost the test by 2 runs via a dodgy umpiring decision
England were completely outclassed so wanting to get first use of the ball and put some pressure on wasn't the worst idea by Nasser. Ricky probably didn't think through the difference without McGrath there but we had chances to win the Test and we bowled terribly on that first day. I agree with both men that as long as they were clear in their own minds that it was the right call, then it's not something to regret.
The Ashes is the greatest thing in Test cricket. This is why there should be another trophy ashes style that anyone can win and you hold it until you lose it. Then it goes to the winning team, obviously until they lose their next series. Maybe it should start at Lords and be the Lords cup. So Potentially you could hold the Ashes and the Lords cup, or lose the Lords cup against India while still holding the Ashes.
Wouldn’t like Ponting to be ‘labelled’ only as an angry skipper or player, that’s a bit simplistic and unfair. What he expressed was a competitive, fighting spirit, bit of mongrel, dogged, easily roused, bit emotional, but determined and strong minded, keen to prove himself, keen to pit himself against others and prevail, all characteristics of a winner, his record is extraordinary.
Indians will never forget ponting.Every time indian bowlers get quick wickets , Ponting comes and carted indian all around the park until ishant sharma showed up. his bouncy off cutter was tough to handle for him
For me, it was a sign that Ricky was past the peak when Sharma started taking him down. He started getting out to short balls from time to time. In his prime, one tended to criticise opposing bowlers for going short to him because he was in total control.
Sanju Samson is an all format player somehow getting chances only in white ball. Hope he can be consistent as there is no lack of skills just needs to take it more seriously.
Why? The question was who does he enjoy watching, not who is the best or most effective. Steve Smith has an incredible record, and possibly will retire with an average second only to Bradman, but he is not an aesthetically pleasing batsman, likewise Labuschagne, whereas Wiiliamson, Rohit and Root have an elegance, doesn't make them better, only easier on the eye.
Nasser and Atherton are the 2 greatest broadcasters in all of sport
Hate that I now like Ricky Ponting hahaha He is class. And absolutely right about Nasser - one of the best broadcasters going.
Two Grumpy old cricketers still sledging each-other like the Ashes is on the line warms my heart

Lol "hard nosed" made me chuckle
nasser is such a lovely bloke

That 156 in Manchester , was one of the greatest innings I’ve seen. Australia were under serious pressure and Ponting just pulled the f out of them
It was one of the truly great rearguard innings. That England pace attack was one of the finest in the last 50 years, truly high quality and those Ozzies knew it.
The reason I love hearing cricket broadcasters from England and Australia is becuase of their candour, which Indians cannot match.
Nass talking about the 207 knock always has a special place in my heart. The 1997 Ashes was the first series I watched on TV, and started my passion for the game.
Fantastic conversation and there is no doubt that Nasser is THE best broadcaster in the world! Thanks for the video lads
I'd say one of the best, Atherton for me is just as good if not better
The Indian commentator Hasha Bogle? is great to watch
@@1362pcyes for me bill lawry the best commentator
@@1362pcIan bishop?
@1362pc he's rubbish
Ricky ponting winning the world cup 2003 and 2007 is definitely one of his proudest moments. I remembered his 156 manchester ashes 2005
Used to hate Ponting when you played but sheer class and great to have him commentating in the Uk
Two legends of the game and great respect shown to each other.
Two of the best commentators going around...one for the way he articulates Nasser and the other for his ability to predict Ponting
These two are one of the best commentators in the world now. Brilliant how after being players they have taken up broadcasting such easily and brilliantly.
Love Ricky! What a singular treat to have Nass and Ricky together entertaining us.
NO WAY!!! I WAS JUST THINKING and he mentioned sanju samson, wow!! high praise to come from Punter!!
I have always admired Australian's for the brand of cricket they played from 1999-2000's. Loved Ponting's attitude and his batting(especially pull shot)
I still believe that Ricky played the most beautiful Pull/Hook shot of any player in the past 55 years that I have been watching Cricket.
akram and ambrose for ricky when they werent in their prime says alot about their consistency
Fantastic. Two phenomenal people, let alone masters of their craft
I can listen these legends talking for the rest of my life
Hated ricky as a player because he was brilliant but as a broadcaster he is superb along with nasser & Athers it just works,& works really well,could listen to that trio all day
Such a fabulous way to lock horns with a bit of Ashes in hindsight!!

9.54... Goosebumps... ❤❤❤❤.. Sanju samson.... Our pride.....
Back to back ducks is pride for you? You people are so strange.
@ajmal6015 wer you from....
List of Proudest moments for Ponting would be too many i guess, he has won everything that matters in cricket.
I could watch these 2 talk all day long. Two of the best commentators.
Ricky Ponting was one of the best in his era and Nasser was more of an astute captain and a good test batsmen. Not many accept their limitations and Nasser rightly said that with limited skills he did over achieve as a player. Ricky was next level itself, as a batsmen as a captain.

Omgosh Ponting should be the indian coach!! We would be unstoppable
No he is not an international coach he should focus only on T20 league coaching
Time nehi hai uske pass@@debasismohanty1952
Probably the two best expert commentators around now with Atherton as well
Great chat! Thanks for sharing.
Ian Smith and Nasser are a joy to listen to!
great to see you both together....................... stay blessed and share the joy of cricket with all your fanssssssssssssssss
I love both these, and I also love the Aussies per se, to me they are exactly like the English team would be if the working class here played cricket.
Ricky pointing the best player ever!! 🏆
Obligitary mention that we hated Ponting when he played and now it's a pleasure to listen to him because he's a legend.
Sometimes the cliches are true
Good content thanks. Unlock the archive and put more stuff on here please. Sky must have a huge vault of interviews etc
Sanju Samson🎉❤
Nasser my all time favourite after Bill Lawry and Harsha Bhogle
What an excellent segment ! Excellent combination of Nas & Punter. We need more cricketing heroes of that era to be interviewing each other ! Fabulous concept ♥️✨👌👍👏
For me Nasser is the best commentator along with ather ....really a joy to hear
The best broadcaster and the best pundit
Lovely stuff. Both cricketing gentlemen, both class acts.
Best innings I've ever seen ponting play was the 60 he got at edgbaston in 05
Seriously though. He was timing the ball so well. I remember seeing a straight drive he hit in that game that made such a ridiculous sound off the bat. Ponting in full flight was something to behold.
@The96drummerboy it was an Incredible innings he hit a number of straight drives that innings against Simon Jones. I was so frustrated when he got out because I thought I'm about to witness one of the greatest innings of all time
12 fours in 62
Yep, some of the greatest straight drives in the history of the game were played in that innings.
Terrific banter goin on here,great stuff
You just knew that the Brisbane toss was going to be mentioned again! 😂
Naseer is best broadcaster and commentator while Ponting is GOAT Captain and player also best pundit❤❤
He isn't in Punter's league from a cricketing talent perspective, but Nas was at the Big Bang of the rebirth of England cricket.
A Captain Is As Good As His Team. 🏏👍
U all are greats. Fortunate to see u all play. ❤❤❤❤
That's my local park valentines. I didn't know essex used play there
Australia In Yellow Jersey - ICC TOURNAMENT'S. 😀🏏
Awesome conversation lads🙌👌
Ricky is huge fan of Indian cricketer ❤
Love Ricky Ponting
Love ur voice nass
Great discussion
Of all the players gooch Nasir? This us obscene loyalty
Class act is ricky.
those sledging moments were hilarious
For Ricky winning world cup twice is not a proud moment
They didn't ask team achievement
Bowler: "I want a silly point right under Nasser's nose."
Captain: "Nah, I need him closer saving the single." 👃🏏🤣
I think it was Nasser with Beefy when Beefy kicked off about a backward square leg on the boundary for Jayasuriya.
"What have they got a fielder out there for.. The wide long hop?"
Nasser defended the fielding position.
Next ball - wide long hop - Jaya slapped the ball straight down that fielders throat.
Humble !

Im an Aussie and we have the best cricket ground in the world the Mighty MCG is the best our mighty MCG is the best cricket stadium in the world
Sanju Samson, Malayalis Assemble!!!❤
Over rated player

@@adithyaprem8755 that’s why Mr Ponting said his name. Step back hater
are nasser and punter the new "nasser and keysy"? they have great rapport with each other
Sanju samson like button from kerala.... ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

Nasser looking like Mark Strong 😊
Nassar is almost unique; a likeable pommy cricketer. He joins Beefy, Freddy in an elite group.
03:07 that was extremely brutal man 😮😂😂

At Egbaston Australia had still bowled England out although for 410 and they only lost the test by 2 runs via a dodgy umpiring decision
Kasprowicz's hand was off the bat so the catch shouldn't have counted.

Ricky probably didn't think through the difference without McGrath there but we had chances to win the Test and we bowled terribly on that first day.

So this is how it looks watching cricket from the Lord's media centre.
Pretty good view from there

Ricky EverGreen Ponting#### 5 World Cups
More Ponting content please..
Winning the WC not the proudest moment for Ricky. I guess Aussies are used to winning the WC's 😂😂😂
It was recorded a month or two before I think 🤔
Wouldn’t like Ponting to be ‘labelled’ only as an angry skipper or player, that’s a bit simplistic and unfair. What he expressed was a competitive, fighting spirit, bit of mongrel, dogged, easily roused, bit emotional, but determined and strong minded, keen to prove himself, keen to pit himself against others and prevail, all characteristics of a winner, his record is extraordinary.
Ricky ponting real king...of cricket 👌👌👌
I love you nasir hussin
Indians will never forget ponting.Every time indian bowlers get quick wickets , Ponting comes and carted indian all around the park until ishant sharma showed up. his bouncy off cutter was tough to handle for him
For me, it was a sign that Ricky was past the peak when Sharma started taking him down. He started getting out to short balls from time to time. In his prime, one tended to criticise opposing bowlers for going short to him because he was in total control.
He struggled against ishant for only a couple of matches. He smacked him all around most of the time
Nasser: Bald
Ponting: Hairy
Most words to describe Ponting not printable 😅
welcome Ricky ponting to justice for samson gang.
Sanju Samson is an all format player somehow getting chances only in white ball. Hope he can be consistent as there is no lack of skills just needs to take it more seriously.
Well ponting not mentioned a single Aussie current player to watch. That put a question mark on credibility and honesty about making this video.
The current AUS team isn't that great tbh... average batters baring Smith & Cummins, Hazelwood are good ...rest of the team is below average
This is old video
Why? The question was who does he enjoy watching, not who is the best or most effective. Steve Smith has an incredible record, and possibly will retire with an average second only to Bradman, but he is not an aesthetically pleasing batsman, likewise Labuschagne, whereas Wiiliamson, Rohit and Root have an elegance, doesn't make them better, only easier on the eye.
current team isn't very good
