Made slight correction. His best phase of 50+ tests had highest average of 75. He was unstoppable back then.

I have never seen a batsman play the pull shot on the front foot again and again and again.
Ponting has set the benchmark for a number 3 in the modern era.
I will never forget that innings at old trafford 2005 when he took on the might of freddie and co who were pretty hostile back then

To sum it up, he did what Amla has done this last 18 months for another 3 years on top. Amazing, and still people slag him off.

Not even close. More like 8 months rather than 18 months.

That's what made his decline so surprising. He had been on top for so long you'd thought it wasn't merely a purple patch but that he was on another plane.

Comparison is pointless. Hash is a talented cricketer but ponting is a whole new level altogether.

I agree, just a stat like that might sink in to the doombrains heads who try to criticise him.

Sadly old father time catches up in the end even for great players. Has with Tendulkar by the look of it and will with Kallis at some point.

Some quite ridiculous catches in there...
No.2 is probably my favourite catch of all time... to catch a leading edge at such close range with your weak hand ,when the ball has come straight off the bat, not a bat-pad, takes freakish skill and reflexes

Without doubt one of the greatest fielders the game has ever seen. Retained that through to his last game. Legendary.

That one of Lee is outrageous. How late must he have picked it up?
