Ricky Ponting RUN OUTS compilation, 30 mins

[Robelinda]

Found this 30 min compilation i did years ago of Ricky Ponting run outs, some others chucked in there too. My god, he is the best ive ever seen, and i could probably do another 30 min one of his run outs in the last 5 years.

Jonty was a more spectacular ground fieldsman, but no way was he better at run outs, he rarely hit the stumps. Great at saving runs with huge dives. The myth of Jonty grows every year, but completely owns him in terms of run outs, even while Jonty was still playing. That summer of 97/98 Ponting really dominated in the field and left Jonty in the dust. Same in 2002 as well.

He did do some amazing work in the field, but one or two amazing youtube snippets doesnt make a career. He wasnt the greatest catcher either, I was a big fan of his work back in the day, but everyone knew Ponting was better at runouts, it was always mentioned at the time that Ponting and Jonty excelled at different areas of fielding. Ponting got more wickets though with his crazy accurate arm, which has remained as dangerous as it was back in the 90's.

Robelinda. I am big Jonty fan, but agree with you all what you wrote. Also at same time, I don't think plenty of people know Ponting is considered a good fielders by many, he doesn't get much respect which he should as a fielder. I think this is where the difference between good and great can be seen. He is really the great fielder which Cricket has seen. In his mid 30s, he still is perhaps the best fielder going around with ABD Villers rite now. Ponting, the batsman is equally great as Ponting, the fielder.

[Robelinda]

He is one of the first to regularly hit the stumps, over his whole career, not just a small patch of form for instance like you see other guys do. You expect top order batsmen to be good at batting and there are so many but its rare that a top order batsman is a brilliant fieldsman right through a career, and even more rare that a great batsman could be so deadly accurate and affect so many run outs. This video only shows those up to 1999, I should do a video showing all his runouts from 2000 to 2011, will go for hours!
