Doesn't really make sense. If they are many other match winners in the team, yes that means the team will win more often, but Ponting would still have to be the 'chief destroyer' to get the award. That was my point to begin with. Even in the presence of e.g. Warne and Mcgrath, who almost always would contribute to a victory, Ponting still has done enough to surpass their performances.
Throughout the 90s, India were never dominating outside home. The performances improved slightly once Dravid, and Ganguly arrived on the scene in 1996. The real turnaround started once Ganguly became the captain in 2000.India a weak team

All those Viv and Hooper overs!
It is impressive but I am more impressed with Warne. With runs, it's not so much a case of how many others your teammates make will limit you. Whereas with wickets your competition in the side directly affect the kind of impact you can have with your discipline.
Yeah that's true, but I was referring to the competition from other outstanding perfomances in a match. E.g. in a typical match with McGrath and Warne at least one of them usually puts up some excellent bowling figures, and then there are top batsmen like Hayden, Gilchrist, Martyn, Langer etc. who will also give Ponting a run for his money - yet he still manages to scalp many of the awards, which shows he must be doing someone pretty special quite often.
Pretty amazing how many series Murali has played in comparison to those with a similar number of games. Have SL ever played more than a 3 match series (fwiw, not meaning this as a put down, just find it intruiging).Series winner too
u need to start watching players from other teams.
Maybe you should actually read the posts. We were talking about the best Aussie batsmen since Bradman. You don't look at batsmen of WI, Pak and Ind for the best AUSSIE batsman since Bradman.
Swann's frequency will get higher the way things are moving. He did look quite ordinary in Australia. Wasim's MOM stats are gun.
Yeah Warne's performance is quite impressive with the kind of matchwinners that he played with during most of his career both bowling as well as batting wise there were so many who could steal the Man of the match award.
