Tbf to Ponting, I think I’d rather be the bunny of a spinner than a fast bowler

saw some footage, He's accurately spamming leg stump cutters to him from a good length, gaining good bounce too, against this Hammond doesn't seem to have leg side scoring strokes so he's being restricted in run making and thus struggling, it seems to be something only Constantine managed to do with his ability to constantly move the ball and constant bounce.

Post the footages.

17:50, watch where he is bowling and where he is pitching, this is a weakness of Hammond that even O Reilly and Grimmett tried to use, worked in England, but he destroyed them in Australia.
in the same video, Tiger talks about Hammond's lack of scoring strokes on the leg side.

Yeah I think I read he was more of an offside strokemaker somewhere

Yeah Tiger implies he was a very offside heavy player with a gorgeous on-drive, but not much as far as Hooks and Pulls go, quite different from Ponting.
