Hi to all and this is the post completely dedicated to one of the best cricketers i ever had vision of, Ricky.
Sincerely speaking there was a time when i always wanted to see Ponting getting out regardless of the opposition. He was arrogant, bull-headed, and sledging Aussie who just terrorised the world. The worst the style of his getting out, the better i used to feel. I remember how he had destroyed my dream of watching India the world champs At wanderers in 2003 by his blazing 140 not out in the finals. That is one of the reasons why i felt so good to watch him lose his wicket each time.
I never heard Ponting saying that Oh i love India and its people. Maybe this is one of the reasons why all indians hate him. Instead Ponting just used to spit on his hands and always be ready to shake hands with you after the end of the match. His aggression in the field taught me much about cricket and its finer details.Ponting only idea about India was that this was a place Aussies have not conquered in few decades and he just loved winning and he used to come here with a firm purpose.His eyes were always looking for win and he did that in india in 2004 too conquering the series here. It feels sad that he won't be padding up anymore. I have grown up watching him bat and learnt a hell lot of things from him. Maybe i will miss him too.
I remember he was smart even in the eyes of my sister too who doesn't know a bit about cricket. Maybe it was something inside him which made him a true legend. It is really heart-breaking to lose him.
