Rank your 5 best bats from Australia post-Bradman

His only remaining challenge is to keep somewhat good form for another 3-4 years.

Or make the T20 team

Cheers. I think some would have, mores o if he'd done better in India though. Tendulkar has a better-rounded record overall, but if Ponting had retired averaging 60 odd at that point, it may well have offset that line of thought too,

Was arguably because Sachin had declined at that point too - around 2006. Just a few years before Sachin himself had hit nearly a 60 cumulative average.

I think even if Ponting had retired early with a cumulate ~55-58 average, he wouldn't have been ranked ahead of Sachin.

I for one completely agree with fuller and surprised people are pretending he's talking nonsense

Nobody here rates Ponting > Sachin

If he retired after 107 tests with an average of 60, all of CW would. These are facts people

No because Ponting in his prime was still a major HTB.

McGrath an overrated hack who never had to face his own team confirmed

Always said that

Or make the T20 team

If Ponting retired at the end of his peak he still wouldn't be rated ahead of Tendulkar. He averaged about 10 in India.
