Trumper easily - in the league of highest quality batsmen ( Sobers, Sunny, Sachin..)
Ponting - next tier ( Sanga, Sutcliffe , Steve Waugh...)

Next Up, Ricky Ponting vs Eddie Paynter.
These were rookie players, get over them FGS.
It's like comparing Isaac Newton with Aryabhatta.

ngl stupid argument.
Newton fundamentally had more knowledge than Aryabhatta, Ponting has no such advantage over Trumper.

And how did you come up with this terrible insight?

What does that mean?
Are you one of those who thinks Trumper faced 150kph bowlers on sticky pitches, if that's who you are I don't argue against intellectual dishonesty so not interested in your views.
Cricket was a different game back then, its's stupid to compare these two.
@Johan Ponting fundamentally has more skills with the bat and can face 150+kph, that is as a result of the game moving forward and going through stages of advancement.

different sure, I don't think mid 90mph pacers were a thing until Larwood, and I don't think Trumper's gonna be able to face 150kmph pacers without training, but again, Ponting would also get slaughtered on sticky wickets by good spinners considering how early he threw out his leg and made himself vulnerable to uneven bounce and unpredictable turn, both have different skill sets but a fundamental comparison is still possible, compare them with their peers if you think the challenges they faced is too different.
