Ponting also completed his century with that maximum.
Ricky Ponting is one of the biggest names in Australian cricket. He was one of the greatest skippers he Australian team ever had as the Baggy greens lost only a handful of matches across formats under his captaincy.
Ponting initially had some big shoes to fill as he took over the leadership from Steve Waugh. But the right-hander handled it quite well in Australia’s tour of South Africa in 2002 in which he not only won the game for Aussies but also completed his century with a last ball six off spinner Paul Adams.
Ricky Ponting. Australia need 4 runs to win the test.

Punter is on 94*.
Hits a 6 to win the test and get to a 100*.

The 45-year-old, recently took a dig at Adams on a video of the incident from 2002 as he wrote, “I think this was as excited as I'd been on the field ... and I couldn't have asked for a better ball to hit for six. Thanks Paul,”
