Answer 6

12.28 in India , 79.35 in Australia overall 49.06.

In his long career he has only played 8 matches in India and had a disasterous tour in 2001 where he only scored 17 runs in 5 inninngs. Since then he has only played one test in India , the remaining four being at the start of his career.

Greg Blewett has an average of 8 in India.

Answer 7

In 8 Tests in India, Ponting has scored 172 runs at an average of 12.28, and a top score of 60.

The comparitive records of his contemporaries are as follows:

Kallis: 7 matches, 557 runs, average 55.70

Lara: 3 matches, 198 runs at 33.00

Jayawardene: 3 matches, 255 runs at 51.00

Hayden: 7 matches, 793 runs at 61.00

Inzamam-ul-Haq: 5 matches, 494 runs at 54.88

So no, Ponting does not have a very good record in India. Indeed, he has an abysmal record, and it is one he will be hoping to put right on the forthcoming tour.
