    Ponting to break all batting Records

    I've heard a few "Greats" say recently that Ponting will break all Batting records other than Bradman's 99.94 batting average. Well here's a few I don't think he'll break: (1) Highest Test Score - His HS is not even in the top 50 (Lara 400*) (2) Most Double Hundreds - he only has 4 (Bradman...

    Jeff Thomson took 200 wkts at 28.00 in 51 Tests. If you just consider these stats, it looks a pretty ordinary career compared to Lillee, Hadlee, Imran, Ambrose, Walsh & Marshall.

    Best all-time "Actual" XI
