Yep. Ponting would've made a gun keeper I reckon.Debatable, tbh. Ever see Ponting keep? Did so a few times for Tas and at worst, his work was very neat.

Sledger was making the point that he doesn't rate Dravid's batting with that post, and TC takes his wicket keeping comment literally.
Come on TC.
I add so much to this forum, I really do. I'm modest too. Great bloke all-round.Sledger was making the point that he doesn't rate Dravid's batting with that post, and TC takes his wicket keeping comment literally.

I find this saying funny. I mean, I can't ever imagine a would-be killer saying, okay I'm going to kill you unless you pick a good Cricketer who will keep you alive with his rock solid technique.I do know which batsman I'd pick if someone had to bat for my life.
Cricketers with lower strike rates and less aggressive techniques apparently will bat better if your life is on the line. Its no secret that if your life is on the line Ponting would play risky shots but Dravid would put up the wall to try and prolong your life.I find this saying funny.

What does a batsman have to actually do in order to keep your life going? Block out an over? make a patient 50? hit a ton? WHATS THE CRITERIA CRICMAHANTY?

Great postI'd take Ponting in his peak ahead of almost anyone; he reached heights only a couple have better. That's not the question though. Over the course of a career I think Dravid would add ever so slightly more to a side. Both tailed away towards the end of their careers but I think Dravid held his decline together a bit better; he dug himself out of a few late-career troughs despite looking shot at times and the lone hand he played in England is something Ponting could never have done at the same age.
Going a little overboard here. It is not like Ponting is light years ahead of Dravid. Over the course of their careers there is a very strong argument to be made that Dravid was the better batsman.Ponting easily. Complete mismatch here. Who's Ponting's round 2 opponent: Peter Fulton?
Hardly a complete mismatch to compare the two best number 3s of the last 2 decades.Ponting easily. Complete mismatch here. Who's Ponting's round 2 opponent: Peter Fulton?
