One of the truly bad umpiring decisions of all time.

Two great players.

I think it's Graeme Ponting, Ricky's dad..
That he would be present to witness his son's last test match too is a great dad son story..
Even as Ricky walked to the middle to take his stance for one last time cameras focussed on Mr.Graeme.. there was a sense of fulfillment that shone on his face that day..
Afterall his son would be ranked second to Bradman in that long list of great Australian batsmen..and probably the greatest captain of all time..
Ricky : one of the best Australian batsmen ever .Great captain too
World class player…my all time favourite
Ranathunga your just awesome❤️
It was not out tho.
Ohh. So This "Shitty Ponting" played his debut match against Sri Lanka.

The birth of a legend
Thats why nowdays there is DRS system!!
At d age of 20…what a record for pointing..!!
Brilliant batting knock
The one time i'd actually support implementing the DRS system
Birth of a legend
From very first match pull shot was his signature shot…punter a legend
Looks so much like Glenn Maxwell on his debut
And the rest is history.
Thank god there is DRS now
Ranatunga ruffled Ponting's cap there at the end! Great gesture by him.
Shocking LBW decision
A Legend is born
