- The cricket captaincy occupies a unique place in the national consciousness.
When Ricky Ponting, the first Tasmanian to lead the team, retired from international cricket last December, grown men cried, parliamentary business was interrupted and a gaping hole was left in the once all conquering Australian cricket team.
The episode reveals how a prankster from a tough housing commission background in Launceston made the transition to one of the most decorated cricketers of all time and the nation's best batsman after the mighty Sir Donald Bradman.
Wife Rianna is credited with being a major influence in the transformation. In Monday's program she provides her first ever extended interview with some surprising, highly personal and candid insights.
Former teammates including Shane Warne, Michael Clarke, Justin Langer and Adam Gilchrist recount their memories of playing on and off the field with the man they call 'Punter'.
Ricky Ponting, I cried the day you retired. No one quite like you❤
South African cricket guy here. Hated Ponting because he gave us headaches. Love him now. Well done my man. Well played.
Good man. Kudos to Graeme Smith too. He was a great cricketer, and gentlemen too.
I'm a proud west Indian.....but I'll get up at any hour just to see Ricky bat....thanks alot Punter❤💪
Mad respect
Me to and I'm west indies
Thats how we felt bout lil lara... champion.
Punter the Greatest Captain to grace this game we all love🥰 💓 nobody will ever come close to that.
Ricky Ponting, a man who could do anything on the cricket field...well almost anything. From being the top most batsman annihilating the greatest of bowlers on his day, and such days were quite a few, to stupidly get into avoidable controversies! But truly a champion cricketer and one of the all time greats...
An end of an Era in cricket. Australian cricket hasn’t been the same since punter retired. Will never forget you Ricky Ponting
Thank U Ricky .. wonderful story, you are the captain of the greatest side of all time , that team that won the ash's back.. we know the team we all love that team..cheers mate ..
A great documentary of a true champion and legend of a batsmen. It was very sad to see him terribly out of form and walking out of the WACA for the final time 😢💔
He thoroughly deserved to sign off in a winning manner for the unparalleled contribution he has provided to Australian Cricket. Well played Ricky ❤❤❤🏏🏏🏏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🏆🏆🏆
I’m from Launceston. I’m 60 now. I’ve seen a lot of cricket but I must say I truely love Ricky Ponting.
He wasn't only a great batsman, he was a fantastic captain and one of the greatest fieldsmen of all time. Some of the greatest gully catches ever seen, and a number of fantastic runouts. He was deadly in the field. Thanks Rick, you did us proud.
Hands down the best and most successful Australian cricket captain ever ❤ that pull shot still hasn’t been matched! Thanks Ricky 🙏🏼 a true champion and a legend ❤❤❤
*most successful cricket captain ever
He was greatest captain ever not just Australian
Rohit Sharma plays better pull shot

Ponting pull shots goes to fours very good looking..Rohit pull shots all are sixes only..

Ah..ok😅
As a Kiwi, I hold a huge amount of respect for Ricky Ponting, the cricketer, the man, the husband, a lot of men could learn from him.
Thank you for his story.
2000 to 2009, The best thing about that Australian team which I’ve observed is that they knew how to win a match even on a bad day. When you thought it is not their day with the bat because they lost early wickets. A tail ender will came out of nowhere to produce a 100+ runs partnership with a middle order batsman that will help them reach a respectable total. When you thought “what happened to Mcgrath and Lee, they aren’t bowling their best spells today.’’ Bamm!! Here comes a great catch or a crucial runout either from Ponting, Clark or Lehmann against the Batsman who was playing the innings of his life.
Even on a bad day, they produced these magical moments and outsmarted their opponents.
Absolutely hated Ponting when he used to play. But have found utmost respect and love for him and his team. That speaks volumes about him and Aus. 🙌🔥💯❤
JL’s quote about brick walls is exactly why I think RP is the best. The best.
West Indians and Australians have a love for cricket like no other nations
Make me tears in the last part of video.. Passion of these players for cricket was something different ....
Oh what a team what a players , gilcrist, Hedan, pointing , Bevan , Waugh , warne , McGrath & many more absolute champion
One of my favorite cricketers whom I enjoyed watching.
Legend. The way that some of the greats of Australian cricket have been sent off by the public and the establishment has been sometimes terrible.
D Martyn was unfortunately not appreciated and put in this category
@@danewoods4712I wonder if a lot of people thought like me. I was filthy that Martyn had displaced Dean Jones and ended his test career
This video brought so many of my childhood memories back. What a time it was! Even though I'm not Australian, I've always supported them with my whole heart.
The best alround fielder one of the greatest batsmen and captain
I really like Ricky Ponting's body language. I got energy from him
Greatest Captain ever in cricket history
& One of the best batsman & fielder in the history of cricket as well. No doubt about that
I reckon the best fielder, I cannot think of anyone better....but on par is definitely Warner and Marsh
We will always miss you Ponts, you are surrounded by the best people and you have done more for cricket than almost anyone else. May you live a very long life with your lovely wife and kids which you so much deserve. Thanks mate, may you never buy your own beer
When he stepped down as Captain was when i supported Ricky much more from that point , thats the kind of player Australia need now
What a superb batsman. One of the best I've ever seen in my 50 years of playing and watching cricket.
My Hero ❤️
The man who could be the ideal of how a captain should be....
Ricky ponting the "warrior" the "leader" the "gangster".....
Brilliant video. Apart from Chris Lewis and Jonty Rhodes, Punter was also the best fielder in the world. Legend of the game.
My world great best Player Dear Ricky Ponting you always remember me and us indian people because your cricket was ever superb we can not play again but real you are great but you support new cricketers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
All time greatest captain and batsman in the world
Over a 52 test match period he averaged 75, scored 25 100’s… no one since Bradman over a 52 match period has averaged 58..
Plus he also has over 25 more run outs than any other player in history.
I think the best since Bradman.
Tendulkar, Ponting , Lara , Bradman.. IMO the greatest 4 batsmen of all time
I share your opinion, I would also include Viv Richards in my all time batting line up.
Great video .
Thank u

Ricky ponting is the greatest captain and one of the greatest batsman.
His wife shouldn't have asked him to retire, because she felt nervous !!!
Ricky's dad wanted him to continue, true supporter
Along with AB and SW awesome 😎🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
My idol ❤
See you soon punter ❤
The greatest captain of cricket history.
@god I think you are
@god well you should have said 1982, not 1882. Other thing, no disrespect to the legends you named. They were GOATs, but same is for Ricky as well.
Without a doubt🙂👍
@dark single greek I meant all the legends in Australian Cricket history starting from AB
@dark single greek How old are you?
I love Ponting. Top class. From a Pom.
Ricky ponting great basement great fielder my name is australia
The best bat In OZ
Great clip, but love the cricket journo's with no test cricket-playing experience passing comment on situations that they have no experience in. Well done, Punter. You succeeded despite them.
pull shot eh!! what about the great shot he pulled in a kings cross nightclub backin the day. classy man!!
Give the man his dues .stop focusing on all the negative he did.u acting like u never fucked up in life as Jesus said he who never sinned cast the first stone.idiots like u should stop watching cricket n go back living in ur mums basement
Thats how much punter loves cricket he retired from test cricket and now he is going to play club cricket
Punter makes me proud to be Australian will always love Punter he was the last connection to warnie and that great cricket era
43:42 par jo hunn tkk koi jamayaaa nii jo ricky d jagahh le skeeee
Neil Wagner wouldn’t exist if Ponting was still playing. He’s go for 20 an over bowling all them short balls
Best captain ever
Geez Langer's nana didnt like the block..good grief that says alot
My sweet heart 💋❤️
43:42 minute celebration
At 17:45 I guess everyone has a Justin Langer in their life. 😁😂
Warne and Waugh in better times
The only man 70 century and 3 world cup 2. Champion trophy
71 centuries
Actually, Ricky was put under pressure for some reason or other by the persons forgetting his contribution to the world of cricket. Pointing could have continued for some more time had he been encouraged by his critics. I am a die hard supporter of Australian cricket for its approach to the game of cricket. Ricky was mis-judged I should say. SAD
My favourite kangaroo captain❤
He is better batsman than flat track tendulkar
Rincon🤨😘😋😘😋😘😋😘😋😋😘😋😘😎✌️😂👍
Or rigged ?
It's all Politics when it comes to BCCI.... LOL
Obviously, you didn’t show Punter cheating at the Sydney test. Anyways!
So england were aloud to do this and its against the spirit of the game and if we do something we get into big trouble for running out dopey bairstow for not staying in his crease
nightclub brawl kolkata
Why
Muslim
Lady
There
Only one team played in the spirit of the game in Sydney and that is india... Australia was a disgrace and the worst part was Steve bucknor and Mark Benson...
Stop the cap bra-man
Punter is a legend
HEIS ALL CLASSNO BS
Neil Wagner wouldn’t exist if Ponting was still playing. He’s go for 20 an over bowling all them short balls
