Ricky Gr8 player
by ajay kumar on Mar 30, 2011 09:40 AM

No doubt Ricky is a gr8 player n ever best captain, the world remember u. His team has won everywhere, has won twice wc in a row, having a clean swip against Eng in Ashes 5-0, member of 3 time wc wining team, as concerned of century he is 2nd in highest century maker list, in last inns got 100, just 1 exit, he has been punished, then wt shud b done with our legends who play only 4 records n on the basis of past records, either sachin or other player.

Ponting might not have played the gentleman's game as a gentleman some times but his skills are unparalleled. Two batsman more than Sachin and everyone would agree who were Ponting and Dravid. Their batting style and technique is a class apart and treat to watch. I dont like ponting for his attitude but as a champion batsman, captain, fielder and sometimes a bowler has done exceptionally well even after losing all the greats of his time at one shot. How many of us would agree if Sachin retires from ODI if pak wins( hope they should not? It will not be Sachin's fault. he has given his heart out similarly Ponting never put a wrong foot as a batsman. It is not today that we appreciate his gr8ness as a batsman but as he has call;ed curtains on his captaincy, if we dont even appreciate him today then we r doing wrong for the game called 'CRICKET' and for a gr8 who has played it.

Hope he plays for Australia another 2 years and scores lot of runs and creates records. Only wish I have for ponting is that he should not come near Sachin and he can create his own records.( yeah i am little selfish abt Sachin) Anyways HATS OFF PONTING FOR YOUR BATTING, CAPTAINCY (FOR ME HE IS THE BEST CAPTAIN EVER)AND FIELDING (ONE AMONG THE BEST.

Hey Pointing

You want to continue to play just to break Tendulkar's records? Sorry mate you are not the one. There is only one in the world, Tendulakar.

Ego is supported only by talent. Even if you manage to break any records, Tendulkar will still be the greatest batsman ever. So take a chill pill and don't double humiliation yourself.
