I prefer seeing him playing a front-foot pull shot off an express pace bowler, in the air but with absolute safety.Blaze said:
Seriously, he's got the best pull shot I have ever seen. He owns that stroke.

Kind of what I was thinking as well, it was a bit of a weird choice, but you do normally bat first on the WACA. Plus, they were saying the pitch will probably be spinning a bit more than usual so it would be good for Warne in the fourth innings.social said:
And two great shots there by Ponting
Edit: Three great shots!

I'd say "pulled a length delivery outside off-stump" would be the better way to put it. It was a remarkable shot.SJS said:

These commentators are absolutely kill me. Tony Greig is sooooo clueless. I think it's obvious when Ponting middles it or not quite but Tony seems to think if it's four it's come right out of the middle.
Did you see before with the super slow-mo? With Ponting's pull over midwicket, that was quite obviously a top edge. Then they put super slow-mo on it and proved that fact and Tony says..
"And look at that bat swivell in his hands, that definitely came out of the meat"....are you the biggest ****** ever?
AAGH!

It's funny that when Ponting gets LBW he receives so much critisism for falling over trying to play around his pad and getting his eyes outside the line of the ball. But here he's doing the exact same thing, his eyes are well outside the line but he's middling the ball and finding the boundaries. The only difference is form but they're going on about how he's such a master of the shot. He's not!
