Yup I agree with you. Dravid was the guy who made 50 of just 22 balls wth 3 sixes. Ponting can surely do that but so can Dravid. Its just that he doesn't need and doesn't want to until the situation demands and he has a way for doing thing with just one or two sixes. Ponting was ahead of him this year uptil now. Afterwards I don't know what'll happen.

Test cricket is about punishing the bad ball and Dravid does that admirably. One thing Dravid doesn't do is go the ariel route - if he , as you say , skies it and gets caught , then why is his average so high?

With the likes of Sehwag and Dhoni in there he does not need to rake the ariel route but if its needed he can hit a few sixes as well

These are the best two modern day batsmen.  Tendulkar & Lara have faded, Kallis overrated (he has two scoring shots thats it).  But if I was captain of a tes team chasing 320 on the last day to win I want R.Ponting batting for me.  Likewise if we are 1 for 20 chasing 280 in an ODI POnting gets my vote again. He is a big game player.]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2006 11:36:55 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1479&PID=61516#61516 Dravid or Ponting? : Averages for the players change... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1479&PID=61481#61481 Author: akki18

Honestly Clapo he was at all the time so nailing it down to one specific example is beyond me.

Evidently I was not the only one to notice this, as Duncan Fletcher wrote in his book -

"Whenever a decision went againstAustralia during the series, did you notice how Ponting wouldinvariably walk up to the umpire and challenge his decision usingoverbearing body language?

"Is that what we really want kids to see when they watch cricket? Is that really in the spirit of the game?

"Did you ever see Michael Vaughan or any of the England players challenge the umpires in that manner?"

dunno about everytime clobbs, but he had a legit reason to in bangladesh, the umpire in question had no problem with it either.

In any case i wouldn't exactly call it a habit, watching the 2 series against SA (where the whole debate stems from) there were 2/3 moments when ponting did approach the umpires, and neither of them were "whinging" to the umpires as such.

What a load of crap!!

How has ponting bullied the ICC ???? And how is he unsportsmanlike as your comment suggests ??? Sure he blew up about the runout in the ashes, but that is 1 glitch on an otherwise fine record. Was it not he who called for batsmen to take the word of fielders on controversial catches, yet all the other captains declined!!!!

As for whinging when he doesn't get his own way, please explain, if this were the case he would be arguing every decision given against him!! He copped the ashes defeat on the chin, accepted it gracefully, and didn't offer any excuses, or "whinge" as such about anything. He had every right to question the tactics of the english fast bowlers trips on and off the field, as it was not only questioned by the australians, but by many around the world.
