Ricky Ponting vs Joe Root

[Burgey]

I’d like to bet against this.

He means with the ball.

Life.

I suggest something better. If @GIMH wins then @Coronis writes an article on why Richards is the GoAT and on how we can't take cricket seriously before his debut; and if Coronis wins then GIMH plays the next three Drafts without drafting a single Pommie and will acknowledge that Fusion is the best mod.

Hope @GIMH and @Coronis come to this agreement.

All we need now is @Howe_zat and his Root-o-meter

 

[Fanboy375]

Root has played a big portion of his career in bowling friendly era while Ponting played a big portion in batting friendly era.

I think he's retired it but I can confirm it's permanently on ****ing glorious

Joe Root has now scored 6 tons against Bumrah. That's truly impressive as far as any too bat against a worldclass bowler.

 

[Johan]

He might go past Ponting today

excellent record

 

[Johan]

Root is too good tbh, I'll be really sad when he retires, so he's not allowed to retire and needs to go on and break even Wilfred Rhodes's record for oldest man to play Test Cricket.
