Ricky Ponting vs Herbert Sutcliffe

[Adorable Asshole]

Hope I’m still on here in my 90’s posting about Sutcliffe tbh.

It's only 10 years so I think there is a good chance.

Unsure whether to be flattered or insulted.

When making such statements, should at least be substantiated by a reason.

How is Ponting a tier above Dravid when you’d pick Dravid in like half the conditions? Ponting also never had great away series like Dravids last series in England

Ponting is closer to Dravid than he is to Lara

I'd probably agree with that, and consider it basically a compliment to all of them.

Quality comparison! Keep em coming.

Finally someone that appreciates my polls

Basically, Ponting and Dravid are very close friends. And Lara and Ponting, not so much.

Or geographically, India is closer to Australia than West Indies, so Ponting is closer to Dravid than Lara.

Also, here's a famous poem by a fellow CWer that proves Ponting > Lara/Rest cricketer. @kyear2

"Who's better Ponting or Lara?
Pontiing's better, bad is rest cricketer

When Lara went to Auntralia
Ponting defeated the west cricketer

When Ponting went to play with him
Lara defeated by guest cricketer"

But wasn't he?

He was Steve Smith before Steve Smith. He was averaging 60 in the same era and dominating attacks.

This is disrespectful to Smith. Smith has produced away series performances that Ponting is simply not capable of

BUT

Ponting had really great abilities
So those who hate him, hate abilities

skills are for greats and hence he has
power to dispatch to fence, he has
every thing of cricketing sense, he has
douchebag face, he has
