3) Ricky Ponting, Age: 41
At one down, we have Australia’s Ricky Ponting. Over 25,000 International runs, Winner of 3 consecutive world cups, Captain of Team Australia during their ‘golden era’, Ponting has had a career to look back upon and feel proud about. One stat that stands out though is the fact that he is the only cricketer, living or dead, to win 100 test matches – A testament to his longevity and the success he had as a player and captain.
Ponting’s aggression was always on display, never more so that when he put a dagger into India’s hopes of winning the world cup in 2003 with an unbeaten 140 in the final. He is the second highest run getter in Test cricket history and the third highest run getter in ODIs.
