Sunil Gavaskar vs Ricky Ponting

[PlayerComparisons]

Two greats of the game

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Not even close. Ponting is not even better than Sanga or Kallis.

It is weird how Ponting is rated so far ahead of Sanga/Kallis/Dravid when he’s probably the worst of the 4 against both spin and lateral movement

You mean Smith?

Ponting. At his peak, probably the 3rd best batsman ever after Bradman and Smith.

It's Lara. I was just being sarcastic to show how strange is it to rate Sachin over Sunil which it should be.

But I guess you already know that.

Border and Waugh

Border and Waugh

Interesting, Ponting did bat higher up but Border and Waugh have better away records in a harder era.

Yeah. The fact Ponting's average crease entry came with Australia on 73 (decent enough) meant I couldn't look past Border and Waugh's away records.

He was the worst of the four against Harbhajan Singh. Ask Murali how poorly he played spin.

He wasn’t poor but certainly the worst of the 4 again spin (and probably lateral movement too)
