Punter says goodbye

Classical, unyielding, uncompromising, aggressive, and at times, simply unsurmountable, are just a few words that can describe Ricky Ponting's batting. His retirement surely feels like the end of an era. Few players can match what Ponting has achieved in terms of  his records as a batsman and as a captain, and even fewer can match the quality, excitement and entertainment that this amazing cricketer brought to the game.

With Australia's highest run-scorer in Tests and ODIs finally deciding to hang his boots for good, we at MSN would like to take you back to the highlights of his illustrious Test career.
