Who is better against pace bowling? Consider all aspects of pace - high pace, bounce, seam, swing

Gavaskar easily, Ponting is only good against express pace.

Hmmm Gavaskar also had his issues with swing tbf but that 200 in England is probably above Ponting's knocks.

Where credit is due, Ponting's 156 is pretty equal.

I would also place Gavaskar ahead (4th innings and all) but Ponting one was ATG as well.
