Sachin Tendulkar, Sir Don Bradman And Brian Lara Snubbed As Ricky Ponting Picks 'Best Cricketer Ever'

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has picked the "greatest cricketer that's ever played" the game. During his career, Ponting played against some of the finest cricketers, be it Sachin Tendulkar or Brian Lara.

1st Time In 141 Years: Pakistan Star Noman Ali Scripts History, Achieves Mammoth Feat

Pakistan cricket team spinner Noman Ali scripted history after taking a hat-trick during the second Test encounter against West Indies in Multan. Although Pakistan went on to lose the match, Noman's feat on Day 1 cemented his position in an elite list. Within the first hour of the match, Noman took the wickets of Justin Greaves (1), Tevin Imlach (0) and Kevin Sinclair (0) to become the sixth bowler to take a Test hat-trick in the first session of play on the opening day of the match. He was only the second spinner in history to achieve the feat after Australia's Billy Bates (1883). The Pakistan spinner is also the second-oldest player (38 years, 139 days days) to take a Test hat-trick after Sri Lanka's Rangana Herath (38 years, 110 days).
