Was not going to be happy with batting through for 300 against that Indian attack: Ricky Ponting

India TV News  

Reminiscing about his epic 140 in the 2003 World Cup final, Australian great Ricky Ponting says he preferred launching an all-out attack against the Indian attack instead of batting through the innings for a team total of 300. If I go from now and it comes off, we are going to post a massive score," Ponting told in a video uploaded by cricket.com.au. On Sunday, 17 years since that triumph, Ponting took to Twitter to share photographs of the bat he used to pulverise the Indian attack. "Given we've all got a bit of time on our hands as we stay at home, thought I'd go through what I've kept from my career and share some of it with everyone on a regular basis- this is the bat I used in the 2003 World Cup final," Ponting's post read.
