If Cricketers were Game of Thrones Characters

Tywin Lannister - Ricky Ponting

Extremely successful and the richest man in all of Westeros. Tywin had the best army in the world, and hence was feared by the seven kingdoms. Extremely arrogant, Tywin would do anything, regardless of the consequences to win (The Red Wedding). Hence, many Northerners hate him for who he is.

Similarly, Ponting is one of Australia's most successful captains. He captained the best team in the world and dominated everywhere, regardless of conditions. Again, extremely arrogant and determined, Ponting would do everything in his power to get his team over the line. His success has led to him receiving a lot of stick from rival fans around the world.
