Mildly surprised at the Ponting love from my fellow countrymen. Great player but always found him rather disagreeable with the constant whinging to the umps.

Blewett & Holding

Athers & Grimmett

It has surprised me how much I have warmed to Ponting in the last couple of years - it all stems back to the way the leeksuckers treated him at the Cardiff Test in '09 and the dignity he showed in the face of that - although I expect his loss of form has helped too

Agree with you, but he didn't have much competition in his battle though.

I like Blewett as a bloke and commentator, but I'm leaning more of this to onfield. Wasn't the biggest Blewett fan as a batsman.

I really like Ponting as a competitor and as an opponent, though. Not to mention he's a modern legend with the bat.

In most people's case here, I'd think it's the lack of wanting to vote for a cricketer they haven't seen much of.
