Ponting voted Player of the Decade.

Ricky Ponting has been voted Player of the Decade by a jury over at Cricinfo. I was hoping he would win it as he was the highest run-scorer in both forms of the game during the previous decade.Congratulations to Ponting, he thoroughly deserves it.

Ricky Ponting has been voted Player of the Decade by an overwhelming majority by a jury comprising former and current players and cricket writers.

Ponting got 60 points (a first-place vote fetched three points, a second place two, and third place one), 23 more than second-placed Jacques Kallis. Adam Gilchrist was ranked third (29 points), while positions four to seven went to Muttiah Muralitharan, Glenn McGrath, Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne.
