Dhoni has to be one of the most overrated ones, along with these players.

Lara>Smith>Ponting>Root>Kohli>AmlaYeah Kohli's like the Amla to Root's Ponting and Smith's Lara.
There are 3 formats.Dhoni has to be one of the most overrated ones, along with these players.
well it looks like we give importance to different thingstbh anything less than test and world cup can kiss my ass
ImoLara>Smith>Ponting>Root>Kohli>Amla
Amla is ass. Also one of the most padded stats in ODI.
true, truth be told England stopped caring about ODIs completely after 2019 world cup lolwell it looks like we give importance to different things
How is Root higher than Ponting with 0 century in Australia?Imo
Smith>Lara>>>Root>Ponting>Kohli>Amla
I don't rate Amla the ODI batter at all, think he isn't even top 10 ODI openers but rate him in tests, some absolutely magnificent knocks.
what does Ponting average in India?How is Root higher than Ponting with 0 century in Australia?
It's more about his weakness against Singh and not India.what does Ponting average in India?
Johan is the biggest fan of Root in the world.How is Root higher than Ponting with 0 century in Australia?
Ok, so it's more about Root having a problem with Cummins and not Australia in general. I mean, if you wanna checklist, averaging 26 in the flat 2000s India after your team declared India the final frontier and singlehandedly contributing to the 2001 BGT defeat (alongside Warne) is far worse than Root in Australia, and I don't think centuries in aus are the end all be all anyway, if his highest score in aus was 101 instead of 89, the 12 more runs are not gonna make me rate him higher.It's more about his weakness against Singh and not India.
If I'm right, he rates every English cricketer quite high.nah that's @GIMH but I reckon my argument is pretty valid
Yeah but that can also apply to me, but mostly in discussions like this I try to stay objective, I just think Nostalgia plays a lot of factor in the placement of Ponting.If I'm right, he rates every English cricketer quite high.
Looks like my mind has been changed.Ok, so it's more about Root having a problem with Cummins and not Australia in general.

an ATG series in aus? now that's where you're talking.
nobody is saying Ponting sucks, just that his record has the biggest hole and his 2001 BGT performance is borderline unacceptableLooks like my mind has been changed.
Ponting sucks for not scoring on Indian flaties
now you're overdoing it lolGooch>Ponting
And should be happy about it.now you're overdoing it lol
