Ponting celebrates his first century in two years - he went on to make 221 -
edit: oops...I forgot about his 134 at the SCG a bit over a week before - and what a brilliant knock that was.

Thanks mate.
Not bad considering #2 were shot with a 40D and 70-200/2.8 (non IS) plus stacked 1.4x & 2x extenders.
The rest were with the 70-200 with 2x and the wider shots with a 28-70/2.8

Just to finish, a shot of the heritage listed scoreboard with all the match details

Nice pics...and certainly out of the norm. That Ryan Harris delivery is a no-ball.

Oooops....You're right...
How could I have forgotten that.
What a great knock that was too.
