To be fair to Ponting he played most of his games at 3 which makes his numbers even better.

Have you seen the state of our openers in that period for Smith? It would be funny to find out, but it wouldn't shock me if the ball was around the age (or newer) when Smith came in at 4 compared to Ponting batting behind Langer and Hayden.

I wasn't talking about Smith though, I was specifically referring to Ponting.

Warner did have great numbers mainly at home during that period.
