I think he's saying that Vaughan was perceived as being smart and Ponting less so, presumably baed on their respective captaincies in 2005. As it turns out, Vaughan is an intellectual black hole.Ponting's a very good commentator, no? Or am I missing the joke here?
He is saying Ponting wasn't very sharp as a captain but is as a commentator and Vaughany was the opposite of thatPonting's a very good commentator, no? Or am I missing the joke here?
Ahh makes sense. I never got the perception that ponting was a particularly poor captain, but it's all way before my time so can't really comment.He is saying Ponting wasn't very sharp as a captain but is as a commentator and Vaughany was the opposite of that
Yeah. Have a soft spot for Vaughan's batting but it's surprising that he was such a good captain. Doesn't seem a very bright bloke but confident.I think he's saying that Vaughan was perceived as being smart and Ponting less so, presumably baed on their respective captaincies in 2005.

he was seen as tactically not as good as the likes of Warne and Gilchrist and nothing more than a good man managerAhh makes sense. I never got the perception that ponting was a particularly poor captain, but it's all way before my time so can't really comment.
Not very good captaining the spinners in tests and prone to occasional brain farce like it was in the final test of 08 BG trophy when he took out main bowlers when the game was on the line aswell as the seriesAhh makes sense. I never got the perception that ponting was a particularly poor captain, but it's all way before my time so can't really comment.
Though in fairness the team they had anyone could have captained them as they were that good all over the team.he was seen as tactically not as good as the likes of Warne and Gilchrist and nothing more than a good man manager
this was the exact argument used then hahaThough in fairness the team they had anyone could have captained them as they were that good all over the team.
he should be bowling better than Shadab atmI know shadab hasn't been very good but is this usama mir lad really any good? Averaging 35 with the ball coming into this game and has bowled one-two dreadful balls a game so far. Doesn't look very flash with the bat either. I remember him being gun in the t20 blast with bat and ball earlier this year so maybe he just needs some game time.
Ricky Ponting talking batting is arguably the most incisive commentary in world cricket. I don’t know why you’d reckon he’s a dud commentator tbh, but each to their own and all
Poor wording on my part. Vaughan was thought a smart captain, but is actually a worthless stupid troll. Ponting was thought to be a short tempered **** with not much going on upstairs, and he's actually pretty sharp and does try to be sympathetic to players even when he's blunt with them.Ponting's a very good commentator, no? Or am I missing the joke here?
