Andrew Symonds & Ricky Ponting's Mammoth Partnership vs Sri Lanka *Extended Highlights* | VB Series

[@louiserawle8999]

RIP ANDREW SYMONDS❤, I loved watching him play,Ponting and Symonds also 2 of the greatest fielders ever.

[@darkeneddragon19]

Watching those two and Michael Clarke was always fun to see.

[@Robrulz666icloud]

💯🇦🇺

[@RARDingo]

I'm so glad i was watching cricket in those days. Australia produced some of the best bowling, fielding & batting ever seen. Hayden, Symonds & Gilly would hit the ball so hard.....

[@andrewwinch474]

Hey, I’ve got a good idea, let’s bowl short to Ponting with no leg side fielders.

[@cringewithit]

Genius

[@bornyesterday1895]

Yep,,,, yep. I like it. After that a few half-volleys to Symonds should knock em over cheap.

[@deanbozzetto4471]

I wonder y they didnt try that🤔🤔🤔

[@gavinmckillop8006]

Renowned for his poor execution of the hook.

[@KojoGotMojo]

I was at this game RIP Roy

[@davidmiller4924]

Was privileged enough to meet Roy at the pub a few times as an adult in tsv qld. Also faced him in the nets as a 13 y.o at an Ian heavy academy before he was well known. I was wearing a Brisbane broncos hat signed by Gordon tallis, one of the greatest forwards to ever play nrl. Roy recognises the signature and I was stuck with the nickname "gordy " for duration of camp.. and my cricket career... an absolutely amazing bloke.

[@CG-or1re]

as an englishmen we always loved symonds. obviously a quality bloke. demoralising when he got going though against our bowlers

[@samuelsisti4849]

Remember this match like it was yesterday. I was playing junior cricket, and I was named captain for my side for the first time. Best day of my life as a kid, haha

[@ziggystardust52]

Ricky Ponting is the best (Australian) batsman in my lifetime, and I can remember back as far as Bob Simpson.

[@avijitsikdar2604]

Since the time of Bob Simpson, in my opinion Greg Chappell is the best Australian batsman, Ponting a close 2nd...

[@bus5683]

@@avijitsikdar2604 Ponting was better than chapel just

[@avijitsikdar2604]

Chappell played most of his cricket on uncovered pitches and without helmets, against better bowlers,that's why my vote is for Chappell...

[@aussie7798]

Smith is better than Ponting IMO. (Test cricket that is). Ponting in ODI still the best pull shot ever.

[@peecee1384]

@@avijitsikdar2604 Chappell got 4 test ducks in a row, and 7 in a row if you include one-dayers. Still his average is higher than Pontings so go figure…

[@nscollay]

I was at this match. Sri Lanka were right on top, but at 0:43 Ponting's great shot changed the whole tone of the match and he and Symonds dominated from then on.

[@laurencetilley9194]

Not only was Ricky Ponting one of the best ever Australian batsman and Captain, he has now gone onto to be best cricket commentator at the 7 Network.

Besides the sensational knock of the two legends, I just love the end of Andrews great knock the fan tried to hug Roy while walking off and gets the end of his wood 🪵 haha 😂

[@rahuldsouza9032]

Golden era of aussie cricket

[@thatsbollox]

5:43 That moment when Ponting must have felt vindicated for his offer to all other captains, who refused it. They made their bed so they can lay in it. Ponting had a perfect view of it bouncing before it was held. Ponting superb. He so often played beautifully in Sydney. Great place to watch cricket. Playing more a test match innings when 13-3, then settled into ODI mode. Symonds was awesome. Great knocks.

[@ausgaze]

yeah clear bounced before the hands. basically just good fielding lol took it on the half volley.

[@BozoTheBear]

God I love Symonds! I'd actually forgotten how hard he bashed the ball!

[@aldpag88]

That shot from 'Roy' at the 4:35 mark was brutal. Could've done a heap of damage to 'Punter' much in the same way than he did when he gave that almighty shirtfront to that streaker at the 'GABBA 😂

[@longjohn5322]

Roy was the king of bat speed! I believe he would’ve been a fantastic baseballer also.

[@joeking3282]

5:45 to Pontings catch/drop catch. I put the speed on the slowest and each instance I think the ball bounces just b4 the fielders hands. @ 6:24 the fielder's eyes are not down, their angled down the ground and the ball bounces b4 it goes into their hands. 6:38 view from the front Can't tell. Could be either. What do you think?

[@ausgaze]

did the same thing, slowed it down kept watching, are his fingers under the ball, I personally think its a deadset half volley

[@cantbegood7]

Easy to see bounced on the ground first.

[@tl73_]

Definitely bounced, didn't need to slow it down.

[@mickstunes6383]

Not one of Tony Greig's best commentary moments with the Jayawardene "catch". Ponting stayed because it clearly half volleyed to Jaya's hands. Richie Benaud's pause during the replay spoke volumes. Tony had a weird obsession with pleasing Sub-Continental fans.

[@andrewwinch474]

And he was having a go at Ponting for not walking after asking captains to agree to take fielder’s word, but doesn’t mention that those captains mostly refused.

[@danielcooper3289]

@@andrewwinch474 Yeah exactly. Ponting offered it, other captains said no, so he made those captains eat their words. I see no issues with that behaviour

[@worker-wf2em]

Plus Ponting wasn’t unsighted. There was no ambiguity as to whether it had carried or not. He saw the clear half volley from his position and rightfully stood his ground.

[@OtterSC2]

If it was borderline you could make an argument about Ponting being a hypocrite but it was such a clear half volley that he saw. Quite poor sportsmanship I can't believe the fielder didn't know

[@funkymofo]

Roy’s bat speed wow!

[@sayerma]

NO BALL crowd shouts whenever Murali delivers 😕 I know his action was never convincing but I was fascinated watching him as a kid regardless

[@gabriel222]

ooh don't go there buddy they will lynch you! I think he was a very creative and talented bowler. But yes that action was always suspect.

[@OtterSC2]

Look up the video of him bowling with his arm in a bent pipe, that's what convinced me he was legit

What a puerile little man Ponting is, makes a stand and asks other country's to advise whether the ball has been caught? Clearly the ball was caught, and the Sri Lankans told Ponting!!! He then hid behind the umpires decision, what a craven hypocrite!!! btw I am an Aussie, and a cricket lover, that just happens to hate dishonesty.

[@ForgotMyOrange]

That ball was clearly not caught. You can see it rising into his hands from the ground and Ponting knew it.

[@utha2665]

@@ForgotMyOrange The question was, were there any fingers under the ball when it bounced? It certainly didn't bounce before the fielder, so were his fingers splayed or not? I suppose when it's uncertain the doubt goes with the batsman. My initial reaction was it was caught. I'm one for going on the umpire's decision though so I have no problem with Ponting standing his ground.

[@wernertukker5420]

It bounced… lol again a bad again and again as many times as you like. You’ll see it bounce and rise up into his hands. Not out.

[@coster3660]

You clearly don't remember the sequence of events in relation to asking the fielders word on whether it bounced. All the other captains said no hence why he didn't ask the fielder. And the 2nd problem with your incorrect comment is that it clearly bounced.
