Ponting creates
history at the SCG |
Jan
6, 2005
 Australia's
skipper Ricky Ponting created a new cricketing
history at the SCG today. Ponting who was on 98
punched off spinner Johan Botha through the off
side to move to his 28th hundred during the
final day's play at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Ponting now becomes the '1st player in Cricket
history to score centuries in both innings in
100th Test Match'. Six players including Ponting
have the honour of scoring a hundred in their
100th Test Match and they are England's Colin
Cowdrey and Alec Stewart, West Indian Gordon
Greenidge, Pakistan's Javed Miandad and Inzamam-ul-Haq.
The 31-year-old Ricky Ponting is now getting
closer to Brian Lara's 31 Test 100s and Sachin
Tendulkar's 35 Test 100s.
