Compulsory listening for any cricket fan these. Got through Pietersen's, McCullum's & half of Ponting's so far.

Howie asks Ponting when he first realised he was better than the other kids. After hesitating for a bit, Ponting finally said it was probably when he played in this series of aged-group carnival tournaments as an 11 year old, & made 4 hundreds in 5 innings in the under 13s & the next week 2 hundreds in the under 16s.
Punter also mentioned that they brought in a batting retirement rule in Tasmanian junior cricket after he went 2 years without being dismissed.
Interestingly, Pietersen gave his 2 best opposition batsmen as Ponting and Kallis, & Mohammad Asif as the toughest bowler he faced by a distance.
