A video of the recently-retired Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting, who slammed a brilliant 142 to lead Australia's reply, after England posted a huge total of 551 in the first innings, in the Ashes Test at Adelaide Oval in 2006.
Ponting cracked 12 boundaries to score a watchful 142 off 235 balls, to help Australia reach 513 in the first innings.
Ponting on Monday got a guard of honour from the visiting South Africa team apart from a standing ovation from the crowd as he entered a cricket ground for the last time in his illustrious career.
Ponting (37), a veteran of 168 Test matches, has 13,336 Test runs to his name — prior to the Perth Test — including 41 centuries with only India’s Sachin Tendulkar scoring more.
