5 batsmen with most centuries in Tests

#3 RICKY PONTING

Ponting has scored centuries against all Test playing nations

A pugnacious right-handed batsman with an eye to pick up lengths with ease, Ponting was famous for his flowing drives and elegant pull-strokes, and is the only cricketer in the world to have been part of 100 Test wins.

From December 1995 to 2012, the period in which he played Test cricket, he scored more runs than anyone else in the world.

The most successful batsman in Test history, Ponting scored 13,378 Test runs in 164 matches at an average of 51.85. He scored 41 Test tons, including the 242 against India at Adelaide, which still remains as the highest Test score in a losing cause.
