Ponting. Whatever has happpened to this guy? Is he not the one who Harbhajan almost called his bunny when the Steve ‘Great’ Waugh’s gang toured ‘Final Frontier’ India in 2001?

Ponting is all the more a phenomenon because, he was a good player for a considerable period of time, but how come some he suddenly switched gears mid way through his career to be reckoned among the best?

His Highness’s scores begin not from 0 but on 100, or so it seems. I never thought scoring hundreds in Test cricket was so easy. With the way he is batting, Lara’s tally is under serious threat in the very near future. And the test centuries record? Oh comeon! its another test series away at the maximum.

I would say his stature in the last couple of years (i think he started off in that phenomenal knock against India in world cup Final 2003) has grown to bradmanesque proportions.

I think its almost like a ponting hundred is not news at all anymore, maybe a few of his failures would be more newsworthy.

Great going Ponting, i am not your fan but i think performance of your dimensions has got to be saluted even if it comes from someone I may not exactly die for.
