I think that is the point of sporting (well cricketing) rivalry - you absolutely detest them as players (because they destroy the team you support) but actually you respect them as cricketers and after they retire (most of them) appear to be decent blokes. Ponting, Gilchrist, McGrath & Warne - "hated" them all, but respected them. When the dust has settled you can't help but say that Ricky Ponting as an absolutely brilliant batsmanWatching on Sky, hated the bloke when he was playing but what a world class player, also seems a decent chap when speaking. I really detested him when he was Captain but he seems ok, anybody else hate or love him?
Well, he wasn't all that against a Freddie outswinger....What a tremendous batsman though. No flaws, weaknesses, appetite for big runs, saw his team through some difficult moments and was a star in all formats. It was a relief when he got out.
That last hour at Headingley is brilliant. Have listened to it so many times, especially the bits where you hear McGrath crying "no NOOOO!" and Aggers (playfully) goading himlove mcgrath on commentary, think he is excellent.
especially when he's having to commentate on england beating them mind

"England can't lose! Glen - England CAN'T LOSE" (With a massive grin on his face)
What was the tip? Or are you keeping it to yourself for your next test appearance over there?Ponting's innings to save the Old Trafford test in 2005 is up there among the best I've ever seen. If you could tempt him into trying to sweep he was very susceptible but that seldom happened.
I enjoyed his little tip on how to play spin in the subcontinent. So simple and seemingly obvious but so few would've thought of it.
