Ricky, the man

Md. Shafat Imtiaz, Cardiff, South Wales, UK
Ricky Ponting has always been a man of character. He is often criticised for his harsh behaviour, but for the responsibility this man has been carrying through for last eight years with great determination and sheer success, he has to keep an attitude that no ordinary man bears. He is a captain with the ability to win a match from any condition. Winning consecutive world cup title was no small achievement. The opponent captains often misunderstand him. But in my opinion he is simply a man who has self believe and competes hard on the field. His competitive attitude has taken cricket to a different level and the game has become more interesting. Australia's early exit from the world cup has upset many people. Ricky has most probably played his last world cup match and he did that with dignity. I salute him.
