Ponting joins 10,000 club
12 April 2012
Australia captain Ricky Ponting has become the seventh man to pass 10,000 runs in Test cricket.
The Tasmanian achieved the landmark during the second Test against the West Indies in Antigua with a cover drive for two off Ramnaresh Sarwan.
That moved him on to 61 not out in Australia's first innings.
Ponting joins an illustrious group of batsmen, which includes two other Australians, Allan Border and Steve Waugh.
The list is headed by West Indian Brian Lara, who amassed 11,953 runs in his Test career.
