@mcphee23 (Sam McPhee): he was once the undisputed best batsman in world cricket and my favourite player but it is definitely time for Ricky Ponting to retire.

@VaughanCricket (Michael Vaughan - former England captain): In my time playing Ricky Ponting in form was the best player I played against ... Scores in all areas..

@buzzy5 (Cam Busby): Ponting is my #1 favourite batsman to watch WHEN in form. The way he can time it is one the reasons I don't want him to go yet. C'MON RICKY.

@Ricky_A1 (Ricardo Ascenso): Despite his failures of late, I believe that Ricky Ponting will go down in history as 1 of Australia's greatest batsmen, in the modern era.

@fuminrianto (Fumin Rianto): Ricky Ponting mate you have been good for so long, unfortunately you are no longer good enough, it's time to go!

@tomholdcroft (Tom Holdcroft): Last time people wrote Ricky Ponting off he responded with a masterful century in a World Cup Final. One of the all-time greats
