Ponting’s favourite memorabilia

Ponting on Sunday shared a photograph of the Australian baggy green that he wore throughout his Test career and the new one that he had received from his wife Rianna Jennifer Cantor and Cricket Australia when he retired in 2012.

"This is my favourite piece of memorabilia gifted to me by Rianna and Cricket Australia when I retired. A brand new cap on the left and my pride and joy on the right, looking a bit worse for wear after about 140 odd tests," he said in his tweet.

Widely rated as one of the greatest Australian captains and batsmen of all time, Ponting won three back to back World Cups in 1999, 2003 and 2007 and the latter two victories came under his captaincy.
