*GOLD CLASS* RICKY PONTING - 257 vs India, 3rd test MCG 2003/04

[nottellingu0]

Hey why was tugga batting with punter at 5 down? did he retire hurt/come back or something? he normally batted at 5.

[bulltiger18]

@nottellingu0 yeah, he retired hurt, although Gilly went up the order late on day 2 if I'm not mistaken

[bulltiger18]

5 people are retarded fucks or people who can't acknowledge good cricket, oh well, their loss.

[crickeyish]

nothing like Ricky i don't understand how you can think that Tendulkar is as goog!!!

thanx Rob great stuff !!!!

[CommanderZealot]

I remember the days of games where the AUS score would be something along the lines 1/160, 1/200, and even 1/300. I miss 'em days.

[bulltiger18]

@CommanderZealot we all do mate, but the good news is we are watching a batting master-class against the Indians.

[music4tb]

check this tribute to Ponting after he strike form!

watch?v=Tli8ktcuXuw

[bulltiger18]

@music4tb Legendary video mate

[TheAussieMan10]

yew!! thanks rob, i requested this a few months ago and you've finally uploaded it. Punter's greatest innings hands down

[ExtremeEnergyForce]

What I find interesting is that the 4 highest test run scorers between them have not even made 1 triple century in over 500 tests.

[border205]

This is the match the Sewag made 195 on the opening day

[robelinda2]

@border205 threw his wicket away at the end, cost india the match. they crumbled soon after.

[ganeshas127]

This was the third test in 2003, at MCG. Australia won this. The match India won was the previous one at Adelaide, where Ponting got a 242.

[rifatctg]

12:12 see tendulkar face how he was hammered by Legend RICKY PONTING

[boscow]

It's like he saw the ball half a second earlier than he does now..... Thanks rob

[thekeylimeishere]

Merry Christmas to me Rob. Really nice double present you offered us all.

[RebuildHotel]

Shows how really good aussies are.

[278haris]

now thats great robi . i was searching for this 257 he got and finally have it

[ConnarBoy5]

Well Batted. Warner can also play like that against India in 2011/12 & beat Ponting's Highest Score & who knows? Hey may even beat Hayden & Lara's Highest Score.

Ponting has batted with Steve Waugh most of the Time that Season.

[jimmywrangles]

Thanks for the upload, much appreciated.

[MrNick8181]

Who was the first partnership with???

[bulltiger18]

@MrNick8181 Hayden, who made 136, he has uploaded it already, you should watch it

[bulltiger18]

@ganeshanl1 The sound of my computer doesn't work, so I didn't hear that part, but when I get the chance, I will listen

[HisTuness]

Did they win the test ? And was ponting the last player to get back to back double centuries ?

[robelinda2]

@HisTuness Yes we hammered India. But for some reason not known to mankind Indians think they won this test, some pretty strong shit they be smokin......

[141cbc]

@robelinda2 Some rank pies served by the Bombay Duck..

[DeanMc0803]

Check out my footage of Brian Lara's 400 and matthew Hayden's 380

[ianghose1]

Thanks Santa!

[Ritchieeeeeeeee]

Haha, how good is it at 11:10 when ricky fist pumps and so does some random bloke in the crowd.

[ImranAhsan777]

Rob you're a legend. Never thought I'd see these videos again. Awesome stuff!

[lara400notout]

Do you have Hayden's 380 against Zimbabwe?

[robelinda2]

@lara400notout Already uploaded it.

[thebigguycricket]

Hey Rob,

I just wanted to ask, where do you get the videos from.?

[bulltiger18]

@thebigguycricket he has been taping cricket since early 1980s

[thebigguycricket]

@bulltiger18 Thats Awesome!

[damo24now]

he's miles out ritchie. great innings. hayden helped as well

[farazzubair]

Rob! By any chance do you have Miandad's 260 against England at the Oval in 1987?

[robelinda2]

@farazzubair Yes I have the whole series.

[720Robbo]

@robelinda2 Did Mitchell Johnson ever make 100? And also, do you reckon he'll get back in the squad or do you think his test career is over?

[robelinda2]

@720Robbo Yes Mitch got 123* against South Africa. No i dont think he'll play test cricket again.

[720Robbo]

@robelinda2 Do you have his 123* on video? If you do, please upload it.

[robelinda2]

@720Robbo It was on youtube already.

[farazzubair]

The 2 dislikes are from Agarkar and Parthiv Patel

[gimmieitnow]

Haha! Cricinfo on facebook told me bout this Rob! Cheers buddy!

[robelinda2]

@gimmieitnow You are welcome mate!

[pavansnehith]

@robelinda2 thnx for d christmas gift rob.hw abt any warnie stuff for new year specials..

[Hiran47]

13:09 God's face says it all... :)

[driffter1976]

Do you have any footage of Martin Crowe's 299 against Sri Lanka?

[k3yverse]

257 more for you tomorrow Punter, c'mon mate.

[therockfan678]

I dont care about statistics or anything else, for me Ricky Ponting is the greatest batsman to have played since Brian Lara.

[Vtaggar]

Well done Rob. Made it on to cricinfo. Might wanna disable comments :P

[TheSinnical]

great vid...i tip him to hit a big one in test starting tomorrow..

[diaboles]

REALY nice batting and realy nice vid, im hungover and waiting for food :P Merry xmas to all!

[slogger2005]

Awesome video, Rob. Remember watching this live when I was a kid.

[crazycurry90]

as much as i cant stand ponting - his form from 2002-2005 is probably better than any run of form anyone has ever had besides possibly bradman. if he was playing for any other country right now he wouldn't be copping HALF as much crap - still a class act, surely still a ton or two left in him

[abhie1619]

He was soooo good during that 4 year period!! Hope he doesn't do a repeat performance this year...but I wudn't bet against him.

Thanks Rob! Keep the videos coming buddy.

[bulltiger18]

The only remaining member of Australia in the upcoming series from this series, hope he can repeat the dose on Boxing Day 2011

[SFleming134]

Aah Rob...at last u fulfilled my wish and finally uploaded Ponting's 257...U asked me to keep patience 7-8 months back...I waited and finally u uploaded super innings of Punter...Thanks very much mate..and Happy Christmas...

[nottellingu0]

Suprisingly more cut shots than pull shots in this long innings!

[puntxyz]

THIS IS GENIUS! RICKY PONTING YOU LEGEND!

[CoolStoryBrosauce]

Bradman, Hammond, Ponting.

A fitting club. (Note NO FLOPDULKAR!) ;)

[robelinda2]

@CoolStoryBrosauce Depends on the question asked - "Bradman, Hammond, Ponting, Flopdulkar - which one was found guilty of ball tampering?"

[CoolStoryBrosauce]

@robelinda2 xD the question is more like "Rate these in order of batting prowess".

Bradman Ponting Hammond, all other 50+ batsmen, Suresh Raina, Sreesanth, Harbhajan Singh, THEN flopdulkar! :D

[141cbc]

@robelinda2 @13:08...Flopdulkar reduced to tiny tears after been clobbered by Punter.....

[ankurmittalx]

@CoolStoryBrosauce The Father of Bradman Hammond and Ponting is Tendulkar...

[CoolStoryBrosauce]

@ankurmittalx yeah ok. Father as in a washed up has-been?????

[bulltiger18]

This is YouTube's best possible gift they could have given me, thank you Rob, I was thinking it was this or Viv's 208 in 1984-85

[robelinda2]

@bulltiger18 Glad you like it! Will do Viv's 208 one day soon, i promise.

[CoolStoryBrosauce]

Put Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag in the tags Rob!!!

[zxzv1]

Merry Christmas to you too! You uploaded it bang on the eve of the 1st Test about to commence in less than 24 hrs LOL ! May this be his swansong along with Sachin, Laxman & Dravid. Looking forward to the Border-Gavaskar Trophny :))

[CoolStoryBrosauce]

I am watching this on Christmas.

[indiajag1]

your video is on cricinfo's facebook page!

[JoseCyriac1982]

Sir Ajit Agarkar bowling half volley after half volley ;) and Ponting never missed those !!! and the over confident Aussie batters gave him a 6/41 in the 2nd test match @ the City of Churches :P, he was a never a good bowler in test matches...Hope none of the current Indian bowlers give freebies like this :)

[kssjp191]

fuck that's a mad innings!

[13kiwiboy]

9:15 to 9:21...lol..look at him go..who is that fielder....?

[umesh07yt]

great innings.. but this bowling attack is below par. Even Aus ladies can bowl faster than these Indian fast bowlers.

[Punter141]

Ive asked u to put this a few months ago , thank u so much for this much !!!!

[bigforrap]

awww, 29 year old punter... he could never have guessed how his head would be on a plate 7 years later

[bulltiger18]

@bigforrap not anymore it's not.

[GetBackToNowhere]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssss

[RoheeeeCricket]

AT LAST! thanks for the upload rob!

[lookwhoshere1000]

Great innings from a great player..so many shots were exquisite to watch but the stand out is @3:15..what a shot..

[b3ta3000]

India give Punter a late christmas present

[ganeshanI1]

No description on how many times he was given not out by the umps in this innings, he was clearly out about 5 times. But, it's the end result that matters !!

[bulltiger18]

@ganeshanI1 please enlighten us with the details of these such occasions, I won't hold my breath

[Razor1262]

Damn his pullshots were just awesome back in the day

[Lumierevideozz]

happy xmas to u robelinda,thanks a lot for lotsssssssssss vdosssssssssssssss

[majesticmaniac]

Ponting and Dravid were simply unbelievable in this series...

[walE3dk]

Its coming again in the Boxing day test, I really hope. Merry Christmas Fellows !! :) 

[ahingo]

hey mate, could you upload dravid's innings from this test too? cheers. Merry christmas!

[ahingo]

actually from the adelaide test sorry

[bulltiger18]

@ahingo you're thinking of Adelaide, Dravid didn't score much here and I'm pretty sure that it has been uploaded by someone before

[TheRooster94]

On the 12 days of Christmas, robelinda2 gave to me:

England batting fail, Aussie umpiring fail, Sachin not failing, England running fail, Big Bird's "home run", Brad Haddin's shitty batting, One lucky catch, One India Fail, An even bigger India Fail, A pie truck full of fail, A pie factory full of fail, And Punter's highest test score!

[robelinda2]

@TheRooster94 GOLD!!!!!!!!!

[cricket4life45]

@TheRooster94 GO THE ROOSTERS!

I JUST GOT THE ROOSTERS MEMRORBILIA

[TheRooster94]

@cricket4life45 You mean the Sydney Roosters? Sorry, my username isn't because of them - AWKWARD!

[bulltiger18]

@TheRooster94 love it mate, very creative

[seanralston1]

happy christmas from ireland....cheering for the aussies as always

[omonoia23]

didnt he make 96 in his test debut? the Channel 9 graph at 08:00 is wrong!

[seanralston1]

some of that tomorrow will do nicely

[lolwut162]

Love you rob.

[romannosejob]

what makes it more impressive is he did it in the snow.

[robelinda2]

@romannosejob That was pretty funny dude!!!!!! I was just using my ipad, EVERY app has snow and shit falling down and pissing me off.

[badbloodxd]

go on ricky smash these dirty smelly slumdog cow piss drinkers

[sabeehtahir0]

so pleasing to see :D

[imthemess]

great upload Rob... Mery X-mas rob... I m letting you know that you will get tons of abuse & dislikes from frustrated fans of thier god haha but keep uploading your videos they just have a big mouth barking dogs seldom bites.. take care

[robelinda2]

@imthemess Its the internet....nothing you can do!

[indianpunjabi4u]

@robelinda2 Champion Batsman 1 of the Toughest Cricketer ..and 1 of the Hungriest Cricketer 2 win matches Ricky Ponting...Brilliant

[Siddhartha9020]

@imthemess That's pretty rude, if you're pointing towards Indian fans there's always the few retard one's who see nothing beyond Sachin but mostly we appreciate punter's class

[hardikvyas21]

Brilliant knock from Ricky. He was the best batsman in 2002-2007 era.. As an Indian fan, it was one of the most deflating Inng after what i thought was a pretty decent 1st Inng score on MCG.. But our bowling and to an extent fielding let us down a bit.. Cant wait for the umpires to call "Play" in the Border-Gavaskar trophy 2011/12.. whats ur prediction for the series Rob?? I ll go with 1-1 with India retaining the B-G trophy..

[kaashmehra]

Amazing Player

[losers638]

brilliant innings

[BEAUTEEM]

no sachin for christmas rob ? :P
