Former Australian cricket player Ricky Ponting has announced his top five batters of all time in test cricket without inclusive Virat Kohli In his list. Kohli was nowhere to be found despite breaking different records and registering 9230 runs in 210 innings in his test career.
He excludes Kohli and Steve Smith from the FAB Vier And instead in Joe Root and Kane Williamson in Slotting.
“Brian Lara was the most competent batter I played against and when I was a captain, he gave me more sleepless nights than anyone else. Sachin was technically as good as everyone I saw, together with Rahul Dravid; I would now also put Joe in it, and Kane Williamson, as cited by the time.
Ponting also explained why he Koos Ben Stokes, despite the English all -rounder who does not have flashy statistics.
“Stokes is difficult. Numbers do not define him. It is about moments with him, he is a situation player. If it gets the most difficult, he has been at his best. If you are talking about the big ones, you have to talk about impact on games,” he added.

Ponting continued on the evolution of root as a performer despite a modest start of his test career.
“Wat hij de afgelopen vijf jaar heeft gedaan, is buitengewoon. Kijk naar de cijfers: hij heeft 13.500 runs. Ik rangschik spelers op hoe lang ze aan de top van hun krachten kunnen blijven. Je kunt een geweldige speler zijn voor 30 tot 40 games, maar kun je het doen voor 150 games? Joe was waarschijnlijk geen geweldige speler voor zijn eerste 100 games – hij had 17 honderden in 97 tests – maar hij is in een geweldige speler in een geweldige Player. “
Jacques Kallis in South Africa was a remarkable exclusion of the preferences of Ponting. From now on he has the largest average (55.37) among everyone in the top-five leading Run-Getters in the format.
