Melbourne, January 01: Out-of-form Ricky Ponting is facing the heat from all quarters after Australia failed to retain the Ashes from England but his former team-mate Glenn McGrath feels the Aussie skipper will beat Sachin Tendulkar for the record of maximum runs in Test cricket.
The former Australian pace spearhead was of the view that Ponting, 36, would finish his career with most runs in the history of Tests ahead of India’s champion batsman Tendulkar.
“I always had a lot of faith in Ricky (Ponting) as a captain and a bloke. I’d play under him any day of the week.
I’ve still got total faith in him. I always felt that Ricky would finish his Test career with the most runs of anyone in the history of the game,” McGrath said.
