Ricky Ponting Run Out Compilation - Some of the Best Run Outs of All Time

Ricky Ponting the former Tasmanian and Australian Cricket Captain was best known for his blistering stroke play with the bat but all those that followed his career more closely know he was arguably one of the GOATS ( Greatest of All Time) when it came to fielding. His reactions and hand eye coordination were second to none, and his ability to get to the ball, pick it up and throw down the stumps with pin point accuracy was a hallmark of his game. With Ricky Ponting, Andrew Symonds and Michael Clarke in the infield for Australia, it was very hard for batsmen to get an easy single let alone pearce the gap to pick up a boundary. They literally made the field smaller for batsmen to place the ball.

Ponting holds the record for most runouts (80) I doubt that'll ever be beaten that's huge

[@kh.rafiqueabdullah799]

Ricky Ponting is the complete package of fielding. Like other great fielders he was not certain specialized fielder. He can field at gully, point, cover, slip and even at boundary regions. Hats off to the legend from Bangladesh.

[@jeremythomas2865]

The speed with which he gets into position PLUS the speed the ball comes out of the hand PLUS the pinpoint accuracy. Best infielder ever. Why you would ever want to try and test your luck is beyond me.

[@mwhearn1]

Also he will be going the wrong way or off balance but still the ball goes exactly where he want it to. Amazing.

[@alis1637]

I wonder how many runs Ponting has saved just because the batter was scared of running because he saw Ponting close by

[@matthewberry3055]

And rightly so. He didn't miss. Use to chuckle when someone invariably chanced a run on his arm.

I remember arguing on the radio once, they were doing greatest team of all time and they had Tendulkar in there. I said is it just a greatest names team or a team to win, if it was a team to win you put Ponting in instead every day of the week because what ever little more you get with the bat from Tendulkar is massively out weighed by what Ponting brings in the field.

Jonty Rhodes was the greatest fielder of all time. But ponting was definitely great

[@catatonia1]

​@@smite327 Disagree with you when you consider Ponting had added pressure of captaining and battling at 3. Ponting 364 International catches 80 run outs and could field anywhere. J.R 139 catches 60 run outs and fielded in 1 position. Was only in the team to field because his batting was very very average.

[@wernertukker5420]

@Conburgundyy .. it’ll be rare to find that footage from the 90’s. Ponting has that luxury. That said, Over all, I agree, Ponting could do it all. But Jonty got picked for his fielding. A fielder who could sometimes bat. Just saying. He revolutionised fielding and therefore is seen as the God if fielding. He is worth 40-60 runs in an odi. In fielding. Even more in test cricket. Nothing got past him f it was in range. And he has had some great run outs too. Only blight is that he didn’t consistently hit them like Ponting. Ponting fielded all over and close to the bat. Jonty owned Gully. And more often than not; batsmen wasn’t as keen to take on Jonty as they did Ponting. Just saying. Just saying that Jonty is picked in my All time 11.. and that’s for what he brought to the field! Ponting would be is in that Squad too. No cheeky singles anywhere hahaha We can look back and appreciate them both

13:47 umpire calls for the third umpire. Scoreboard already adds the wicket. Love it

[@brianvogt8125]

For these plays, the umpire is in the most hectic position. He needs 360° vision to avoid blocking the fast-moving players, avoid getting hit by the ball, see when the bails are dislodged, and see whether the batsman (running in a line beside the pitch) was beyond the batting crease. All of that in about 3 seconds.

[@siddharthsingh8470]

Bro that was the norm earlier, if a decision is subjudice to Third umpire, wicket and runs were added till the descision come.

Yeah I'd rate Ponting over Symonds for fielding, though to be fair he couldn't really watch himself. Symonds was an absolutely incredible athlete and all-rounder though - just a shame his personal life got in the way of his cricket, he could have been so much greater than he was.
