This guy is some kind of machine or something. Check out his record in his last 15 games

Code: 
Mat  Runs  HS   BatAv   100  50

15  1788   156   74.5    9    7

So in his last 29 innings he has scored over 50 in 16 of them, that is absoutely incredible. His average is soaring as well, was in the low 50s a few years back but is above 58 right now.

He has broken the record for the highest amount of centuries by an Aussie and at the rate he is going he will soon have taken Tendulkar's record of 35 centuries, Tendulkar should be close to 50 by now but as his form has dried up so have the centuries. Ponting is is already on 30 :eek: The last time I saw a single player dominate like this was back in 1997-1999 when Tendulkar was on a one man mission to destroy every team in sight.

I think he feels party responsible for losing the Ashes after putting England into bat and being the first Aussie captain to lose the Ashes in so many years has put a big mark on his record and maybe that is what is driving him on. He talks about the Ashes a lot as well so I think that is on his mind and he is probably counting the days until England come down under. Should be a great series.
 
He is in some great form, hopefully that'll only last another couple of months or so;)
He was going right off the rails a couple of years ago too, so fair play to him for sorting himself out:)
 
Amazing batter, was watching his innings against SA the other night and i have to admit he was destroying them quite thoroughly. Guess hes in good form, will be interesting to see how he performs when they play England again
 
Not only is he a brilliant cricketer but he's also a sound guy. I worked in the supermarket across the river from the county ground in Taunton and he was quite happy to chat about Somerset and cricket in general when he was shopping in the store. Absoloutely awesome player for us.
