oh are we talking about cricket.. umm I thought we are talking about vollayball..Ricky Ponting What a Vollayball player..
Care to share some of those scorecards with me..becuase i just have one of those short memories that i forget those type of matches if they don't happen often..
for me a batsman is good if he single handedly takes control.. bat with talenders and when matches in a crisis situation.. apparently that didn't happen that often during his career.. Aus mostly dominated the teams because they had strong batting line up consisting of Hayden, Langer, Slater, Waugh Brothers, Martins and Gily.. Now that these guys are retired, a decline in Ponting's career is seen..and I proved that with a little analysis that i just run in cricinfo.
Ponting debuted in December 11, 1995
batted mostly down the order till 2001.. he was promoted up the order right for 2001 ashes.
from 95 to 2007 when Aus was playing those big names like Waugh brothers, hayden, Langer, Slater, Martin, Gilly.. he averages over 59
filtered 1995-2007 110 9368 257 59.29 33 5 1/0 46.20 0 124 0
from Nov 2007 when the big names were gone.. he has averaged only 43.
filtered 2007-2010 38 2882 209 43.66 6 0 - - 0 50 0
in the past couple of years or so that Gilly and Hayden has retired, He has been even worse..averaging 42.
genius.
