Ricky Ponting is the only Aussie cricketer to get to 10000 runs in ODIs

He has successfully led the team to two World Cups and will be remembered forever by the cricketing fans all over the world for his captaincy.

In the 2007 World Cup, Australia were on a roll and dismantling the oppositions night in, night out and were up against South Africa. After batting first, the Kangaroos posted a huge total of 377-6 in 50 overs. This came on the back of Hayden and Clarke's 161-run partnership.
