Australia's greatest batsman, after Don Bradman, Ricky Ponting retired from test cricket today.
Sad part for him is that Australia lost the test to South Africa by a massive 309 runs at Perth.
Any way, that does not take away his enormous contribution to Australian cricket and to the game of cricket as a whole.
He was a great player and a good captain.Probably having a very good team helped him to have a good captaincy record.
In his post-retirement press conference, he is reported to have nominated Sachin Tendulkar as the greatest player he has played against.It's a nice gesture from Ponting.
Hope Tendulkar who is practicing hard for the eden gardens test match against England, will get some confidence from Ponting's comments :|
