Goodbye RT Ponting 'the ODI player' - you were a legend.

[Prince EWS]

This is a great point. I guess from this Murali > Warne in ODIs as well.

There are people who think Warne > Murali in ODIs?

 

[Jono]

Yes, Ikki.

Thread title is misleading to say the least; what the **** Tendulkar's ODI bowling has to do with Ricky Ponting's ODI career is beyond me.

Probably the best throwing arm amongst regular fielders in the deep after Lee/Sanath since the 90s IMO ...

At least it's not about tennis yet.

Why do you have an endless supply of pictures featuring cricketers playing tennis, ****?

Personally I'd have Sachin's technique better than Ponting's on that shot.

Keen to hear Ikki's thoughts on this.

Ponting to hit it straight into someones face.

Probably his own.

Somewhere in a cave in the mountains (probably Bora Bora) there are thousands and thousands of computers quietly monitoring websites around the worldl looking for key words like Ponting, best, batsman. When detected emails are dispached to Sachin fans to alert them to the blasphemy and they swing into action. The offending article, thread or post is spammed in every way possible.

Ponting clearly the non-striker.

Spoilsport. Was the best photo I could find.

I will try to find it. I remember an article on Cricinfo with it. I am not sure how to get it directly with Statguru. Anyone know? Also, there is a robelinda video with an hour's worth of run-outs...maybe you can watch through that and count LOL.

Found it: 58.

This is what I meant. You said earlier in the thread that Ponting had about 150 runouts in ODIs.

Ponting probably has that in direct hits .

He is not as good as you thought originally is he?

Also, Sachin has had 2 world cups at home, Ponting never played a single world cup at home. Ponting comes out way ahead for me, to do all that AND do it all away from home is immense.

Thats a flimsy argument,WC's at home are far more unforgiving as far as pressure goes, which goes a long way in explaining why only one home team has won in 10 attempts.I'm being the devil's advocate here but you could also argue that Sachin has played 2 WC's in the SC and 4 outside, Ricky has played 3 outside the SC and 2 inside. Away records are more important in tests anyways where Sachin is comfortably ahead.Sachin averages 40+ everywhere and 50+ in more countries.Ricky averages less than 50 away from Oz actually!Love Ricky but gotta put things in perspective.

this ........Well put .....
