As an England fan I obviously couldn’t stand Ponting when he was a player (Obviously mostly jealous at how good he was). Now he’s one of the best commentators/analysts in the game.

[mdoggydogdogdog]

He’s spot on about Kallis. Absolute behemoth of the game but never gets mentioned in the same breath as the other greats

[Sauvage_Foxes]

As an aussie growing up idolising punter, if he survived his first 20 balls you could almost always back him to ton up. I've never seen someone look so awkward in his first 10 balls and then be so elquent after. Loved his straigh drives and pull shot. So good to watch

It irritates me that I like Ponting so much after retirement.

Ricky Ponting has now taken over from the late great Shane Warne in regards to how respected he is over here what a great human being and I’m English

[Theprasanga]

His comments on team South Africa was so real. Aus vs SA were my favorite cricket battles in late 90's and early 2000s. Both teams were in "never give up" mentality and have produced some memorable matches.

Superb cricketer and brilliant commentator

[TheTigers]

Legendary Captain, batsman and fielder. The number of direct hits of the stumps resulting in run outs he performed was unbelievable. Up there with Jonty Rhodes and a few others as the best fielders of all times. Thank you for making cricket so entertaining. Now just shows what a great cricket mind he has when commentating.

Could happily listen to ricky all day long (as an england fan too), was such a great leader and physically tough player on the field and has become an amazing commentator off the field since retirement

[alexbremner]

Ricky is one of the cricketing greats, what a legend. Even as an England fan.

Unreal q & a
I wish more would come from reddit. The quality of questions was fantastic 😊

As a fellow Tasmanian I followed Punters career since his debut for Tasmania as a 17 year old. He was ear marked as one of the best teenage batsmen we had ever produced. For some that can be a curse but Ponting took to test cricket like a duck to water.
We are blessed to have him as role model and mentor. He’s a working class Ritchie Benaud

[klausn]

So many ex players make average pundits, but Ponting's insight is always brilliant.
Love the Langer question too!

Ricky Ponting, one of the greatest cricketers Australia has ever produced, truly shaped the cricketing memories of our generation. For many of us in India, whenever Australia was the opponent, there was a sense of inevitability, it felt like they had already won, largely because of Ponting’s sheer skill and dominance. His talent, tenacity, and leadership made him a legend, not just in Australia but worldwide, and his rivalry with India added an unforgettable thrill to our childhood.

The bowler he's talking about is Jimmy Ormond

[StantheMan]

Coming from a young englishman who never saw him play live (or on tv) i love him as a player, he's a genius

[shrikantkondekar]

Thanks, Sky Sports Cricket team for presenting this excellent piece of interview with the greatest cricket champion of all time. One of the finest interview to watch recently on YT. Punter is not only a superb player but a gem of a person. Well said Ricky.. You're indeed an inspiration to all the people out there 😊👍

Live ricky. I'm English. Great commentator and an absolute G
