What a ****ing champion Ponting is.

In terms of the modern greats, Lara was stunning when he got going, but Ponting was right up there.

I don't want to live in this world any more.

Nooo one of the last remaining guns from my childhood.

Such a beast in his heyday. One of my favourite batsmen to watch (when he wasn't playing my team:ph34r:).

Sad to see him go. Didn't truly appreciate him until it was too late but glad to say I was around for one of the great careers. Everything an Australian Test batsman/cricketer should be.

International Captain
The last, and in some ways the greatest, of my childhood heroes. Gutted.
Pretty much this. I actually hated the guy when I was a kid, but after most of my favourite childhood cricketers retired (Astle, Cairns, Fleming, Martyn, Hadyn, Gilchrist, Warne etc), I took a massive liking for the guy. Definitely my favourite player in the last 5-6 years. It's a shame he went out in a bad way, but he still had an amazing career. I'd rate him the third best batsman I've seen behind Tendulkar and Lara, and being the Australian captain of such a dominant team he really was the face of my favourite cricketing period.

This is the day where I officially become old. He's the last one left from my childhood
