Personal Information. Ricky Ponting had all the ingredients of a typical Australian - tough as nails, aggressive, vocal and above all, mentally powerful to tackle pressure situations.
The best quality about Ponti Full profile. Ground, Dec 08, Ground, Nov 30, Chinnaswamy Stadium, Apr 18, The best quality about Ponting was his burning desire to win matches and at times, the desperation did bring up infamous incidents but what shone through his career was the sheer desire to be victorious.
Three World Cup titles including two consecutive ones as captain to go with a couple of Champions Trophy titles and the no. Adding to all this was of course his free-wheeling strokeplay as a batsman, amassing runs at will and destroying opposition bowlers.
The only title that eluded him was the World T20 but one could argue that the format came around the time that Ponting was in his final years. A young and raw Ricky Ponting burst into the international arena in the year as he debuted in both the formats.
He had garnered a big reputation in the domestic circuit for having the ability to produce the big runs and most people were in awe of his skill set. However, disciplinary issues were equally prevalent with Ricky back then and it did hound him in the initial years of his international career as well. But, he managed to pick himself up and from the season, started to mature steadily into a top flight batsman. Having started out as a middle order batsman, he also started to take ownership of the pivotal number three slot which he would make iconic in the years to follow.
A highlight of Ponting's batting was the sheer intent he had, right from the first ball. In fact, that stroke went onto become Ponting's signature shot in his career. Double centuries from Michael Clarke and Ricky Ponting helped Australia make runs in their first innings. He scored two centuries in both innings of this Test match. The hosts scored runs in the first innings, and in reply, Kohli answered with a knock of , but India were all out for Kohli was at it again, scoring a run knock in balls.
But without much contribution from the others, India lost the match by 48 runs after putting up a good fight. His vs England at the Wankhede stadium in also deserves a special mention. India were chasing runs in the first innings, but India lost four wickets for 45 runs. But Kohli and Jayant Yadav put up a run-stand, which is the best 8th wicket partnership in Indian cricket. By the end of the first innings, Kohli completed a double ton, while Jayant also scored a century.
In T20 internationals, the year-old has runs from 90 games at an average of No need to say more! Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

It's almost the end of the year, which means that the countdown has begun to check out the games that caught our attention in How to differentiate between Pool, Snooker, and Billiards?
Vijaya Bharti - November 10, 0. Professional cue sports players can quickly distinguish between a pool table and a snooker or billiards table. However, for casual players or cue sports Alphabetically sorted top ten of players who have played the most matches across formats in the last 12 months.
Ricky Ponting, the most uncompromising player of his generation, grew into Australia's most successful run-maker and only sits below Bradman in the country's overall ratings. It takes an extremely critical eye to diminish his run-scoring achievements, which seem to collect new records in every series. Like spotting a celebrity, it's necessary to look twice when analysing Ponting, first as the archetypal modern batsman, then as the country's 42nd Test captain.
There is no doubt about his greatness after taking guard, but his leadership has been under scrutiny for much of his reign. While his blade has sparkled, his stewardship is pock-marked by three Ashes defeats - two in England and one at home - and stumbles to South Africa and India. Those results didn't stop him from becoming the most successful captain in Test history after passing Steve Waugh's 41 wins in the Boxing Day Test.
In the same match he overtook Shane Warne's 92 victories as the most by an individual, and he led Australia to 26 consecutive undefeated completed World Cup games. He stepped down from the captaincy when that run ended, in the World Cup. For the first three years of his reign he was in charge of a superstar unit and did not have to decide much tactically, but once that group headed for retirement he had to change from a manager to moulder.
As a batsman the only debate is where to rank him in the high reaches of the game's greatest run-makers. Acclaimed by Academy coach Rod Marsh as the best teenage batsman he had ever seen, Ponting began with Tasmania at 17 and Australia at 20, and was given out unluckily for 96 on his Test debut. There were some teething problems, including a public admission of an alcohol problem, but the longer he went on the more he matured, building up records and runs.
He plays all the shots with a full flourish of the bat - the cover drive and the pull are particularly productive methods - and knows only to attack. His breathtaking, dead-eye fielding is a force in the game by itself. Only Sachin Tendulkar has more centuries in Tests and ODIs combined than Ponting, who is a natural in the game's traditional forms, but resistant to the perks of Twenty20, from which he retired from in There have been setbacks against probing seam attacks, high-class finger-spin and, latterly, short balls, which he insists are meant to be pulled or hooked.
After a fairly prolonged patchy run of form, Ponting announced that the Perth Test against South Africa in November-December would be his last international match. Most matches in career Most consecutive matches as captain of a team Most runs in career Pant: Treat everyone as equal, respect them and special things will happen.
Ricky Ponting: Extra responsibility of captaincy will sit well with Rishabh Pant. Ricky Ponting: Marcus Stoinis has been keen for an opportunity up the order. Rohit Sharma: 'Ricky Ponting is from a different planet when it comes to motivating players'. T20 probably hasn't reached the level in England as it has elsewhere - Ponting. Many factors made ball-tampering reach 'tipping point' - Ponting.
The structure of their team would require their attack to do the heavylifting in the second Qualifier against Kolkata Knight Riders. Ponting was also full of praise for Rishabh Pant, saying "his level of maturity in the last couple of seasons has gone through the roof". Former captain still insists that team can win the T20 World Cup if all first-choice picks are fit and healthy.
