More on Ricky Ponting
Description from Wikipedia:
Ricky Thomas Ponting (born 19 December 1974 in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia), nicknamed Punter, is the current Australian Cricket Team captain. He is a specialist right-handed batsman, slips and close catching fielder, as well as a very occasional bowler. He plays Australian Domestic cricket with the Tasmanian Tigers and is involved in the Indian Premier League with the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Ponting made his first-class debut for Tasmania in November 1992, when just 17 years and 337 days old—becoming the youngest Tasmanian to play in a Sheffield Shield match. However he had to wait until 1995 before making his One Day International debut—during a quadrangular tournament against South Africa in New Zealand. His Test debut followed shortly after, when selected for the first Test of the 1995 home series against Sri Lanka in Perth—scoring 96. He has lost his place in the national team several times, due to lack of form and discipline, before becoming One Day International captain in early 2002 and Test captain in early 2004.
After being involved in over 130 Tests and 300 ODI's, Ponting is Australia's leading run-scorer in Test and ODI Cricket, scoring more than 22,000 International runs. With 39 Test centuries—only behind Indian Sachin Tendulkar (42)—Ponting is also third for most ODI centuries behind Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya.
