Keeping everything aside, Ponting looks in great touch

[Cricketics]

For a change, I am enjoying watching POnting bat. Both the games he has looked in sublime touch. What elegance. You might call him arrogant and stuff, but when it comes to batting, he's a top class batsman. Absolutely smashing the lankan bowlers. Great to see some godo batting instad of just big hitting. I hope he does well in test series too. It's good he retired himself from captaincy, he would eventually score good amount of runs now perhaps. Captaincy was getting to him.

Ponting deserved the century Well played m8:--D 90* (106)

[Guest Gunner]

He seems to be getting back into form.

That little ****er has a bit of fight left in him. I for PK and company in December

[Jersey #10]

If anything, he is all class! 100%...the drives and the hooks A true legend of the era

[Bradman99]

I think relinguishing the captaincy is just what he and the team needed.

Cricinfo - Fifth ODI win in a row for Australia Say anything about OZ but they are still the most consistent team in ODIs! It's amazing how they are able to produced above par players at this rate. Their dominance may have gotten dim but the injured lion still knows how to fight.

So you've already given up on Zak :((

[VRV Singh]

I hope he is regaining form. Not nice seeing great batsmen struggle. Want to see the pull shot flowing again.. Just missed 70th hundred today.

Does seem like it, yes. Batting with more freedom now. Good couple of wins for Aus, these - Lanka are a good ODI team in their conditions.

The Aussies have battered the Lankans at home so far. And the way spinners have struggled so far in the ODIs, the signs are not good for the Lankans. They better produce rank turners for test matches else would lose the test series. On Ounter, looks to be regaining his touch. But in the last 3-4 years, his ODI batting form has been quite good, has struggled a lot in the tests though. Will be intersting to see if he carries this form to the Tests.

Is it really possible at the age of 37? Ageing, with age hand-eye coordination deteriorates, slower reflexes..everything stacked against Pwnting, I don't think he can ever get back to form..:--D

I said "seems". I am a consultant, I was born to qualify my statements. :winky::winky:

Well done Pøntîng

[Crookbond]

Stepping down from the captaincy has definitely freed up his mind.

[Dark Warrior]

Offtopic: I've always been a big fan of punter's arrogance.

[ravsdh]

im going to the melbourne and sydney tests and do NOT want to see any punter tons!

Love his batting, hate his personality, or at least his old personality as captain.
