Ricky Ponting to Retire after Perth Test

Ricky Ponting has announced his retirement from international cricket, on the eve of the third Test against South Africa in Perth.

"It's a decision I thought long and hard about, put in long consideration about the decision, at the end of the day it was about my results and my output in this series so far," Ponting said.

"It hasn't been to the level required for batsmen and players in the Australian team. My level of performance hasn't been good enough."

Following a poor start to the Test series with low scores in Brisbane and Adelaide, Ponting said he was troubled by the "tentative" manner of his dismissals. In Adelaide he was bowled twice in the same match for only the second time in a career that began in 1995.

"This is not a decision that's been made by the selectors, this a decision that has been made by me," Ponting said. "I'm glad I've got the opportunity to go out on my terms."

Ponting will play out the domestic season for Tasmania and the Hobart Hurricanes in the BBL.

Ricky Thomas Ponting Made his Test Debut against Sri Lanka at Perth almost 17 years ago.In his debut match he missed out on a century with just 4 runs short.

After that he never Looked back as a player.Scored tons and tons of runs.He was one of the BEST and KEY Batsman for Australia for more than 10 years.When he took the captaincy burden from Steve Waugh the Aussies were in loss of some BIG Players,he took the Job of Reconstructing the SUPREME Team and with the likes of Matthew Hayden,Adam Gilcrhist,Andrew Symonds,Shane Warne he steered the SHIP of Aussies again into THE INVICIBLE ERA..Team under his captaincy Won Two World Cups.

He is the only player to be part of 100 Test Victories.

He played 167 Matches he scored 13,366 runs in 285 innings at an average of 52.21.

He was the ONLY player who gave some tough fight to Sachin Tendulkar.
