ICC Champions Trophy / Tournament Format
The ICC Champions Trophy 2009 will be contested by 8 teams which have been 'seeded' and divided into two groups:
Each team will play every other team in its group. Points will be allocated for each match in accordance with the system described below which will apply throughout the competition.
Following the group stage the top 2 teams from each group will progress to the semi finals where the winner of Group A will play the runner up of Group B (in the 1st semi-final) and the winner of Group B will play the runner up of Group A (in the 2nd semi-final).
The winners of the semi-finals will contest the Final.
Group A Group B
Australia (1) South Africa (2)
India (4) New Zealand (3)
Pakistan (5) Sri Lanka (6)
West Indies (8) England (7)
Points
The following point system will apply:
Win 2
Tie or no result 1
Loss 0
Group Matches
In the event of teams finishing on equal points in its group, the right to play in the semi-finals will be decided in the following order of priority:
* The team with the more wins in the group stage will be placed in the higher position.
* If there are teams with equal points and equal wins in the group stage then in such case the team with the higher net run rate in the group stage will be placed in the higher position (refer to below for the calculation of net run rate).
* If following the net run rate calculation above there are teams which are still equal, then the team with the higher number of wickets taken per balls bowled in the group stage in which results were achieved will be placed in the higher position.
* If still equal, the team which was the winner of the head to head match played between them will be placed in the higher position.
* In the highly unlikely event that teams cannot be separated by the above this will be done by drawing lots.
Semi Final
If a semi-final is tied, the teams shall compete in a one over per side eliminator to determine which team progresses to the final. Refer Appendix 7 click here to read.
If following a tie, weather conditions prevent the one over eliminator from being completed, or if the match is a no result, then the group winners shall progress to the Final.
Final
In the event of a tied Final, the teams shall compete in a one over eliminator to determine which team is the winner. Refer Appendix 7 click here to read.
In the event of a no result, provided weather conditions permit, the teams shall compete in a one over per side eliminator to determine which team is the winner. If weather conditions do not permit, the teams will be declared joint winners.
Net Run Rate
A team‟s net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that team throughout the competition, the average runs per over scored against that team throughout the competition.
In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of overs, the calculation of its net run rate shall be based on the full quota of overs to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed.
Only those matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose of net run rate calculations. Where a match is abandoned, but a result is achieved under Duckworth/Lewis, for net run rate purposes Team 1 will be accredited with Team 2‟s Par Score on abandonment off the same number of overs faced by Team 2. Where a match is concluded but with Duckworth/Lewis having been applied at an earlier point in the match, Team 1 will be accredited with 1 run less than the final Target Score for Team 2 off the total number of overs allocated to Team 2 to reach the target.
In circumstances where a match (and the points for such match) is awarded to a team as a result of the other team‟s refusal to play, either by the match referee in accordance with Law 21.3 (a)(ii) as read with playing condition 21.3 or in accordance with the provisions of the relevant event agreements signed by the participating teams, the net run rate of the defaulting team shall be affected in that the full 50 overs of the defaulting team‟s innings in such forfeited match shall be taken into account in calculating the average runs per over of the defaulting team over the course of the relevant portion of the competition. For the avoidance of doubt the runs scored and overs bowled in such forfeited match will not be taken into account when calculating the net run rate of the team to whom the match was awarded.

India's been lucky in past but it'll change this time: Afridi
India has been lucky to have beaten Pakistan in all the ICC events, said all-rounder Shahid Afridi, oozing confidence that his team would buck the trend this time by getting the better of their traditional rivals in the ongoing Champions Trophy.
"So far, luck has been with India. Hopefully, it would all change this time around," said Afridi, who is also vice-captain of his side in the eight-nation event.
Pakistan will take on India in a group B clash at Centurion on Saturday.
Looking back at the 2003 World Cup match between the two sides, which Pakistan lost, Afridi said a lot has changed and his team is a lot better than what it was at that time.
"That was 2003. This is 2009. It's been six years. We are a very good one-day side now. We not only have good batting but our bowling is also exceptional," said Afridi.
Indians, along with hosts South Africa, are claimants to the world's best one-day batting side tag but Afridi said Pakistan are no less.
"If they claim themselves to be the best, I would say we are also the best. Every team knows its strength. We have a very balanced side. Still, I don't take any side lightly", he said.
"In one-day cricket, we should not think that we can win easily against any team. There have been examples when big teams have lost to small sides. However, bowling, as I said, has been our chief weapon which has helped us win," Afridi said.
Pakistan's bowling, led by Mohammad Aamer and Umar Gul, backed by spinner Saeed Ajmal and Afridi himself, looks strong and it would only get stronger with the return of Mohammad Asif, who completed his dope ban on Tuesday.
Pakistan coach Intikhab Alam said Asif's return is good news for Pakistan cricket.
"He is a match-winner. Today he completes his ban and he then becomes available. It's good for Pakistan that he has made a comeback. The type of bowler that he is, the team is looking forward to have him back," Alam said.
Afridi has established himself as one of the biggest hitters of the game and similar is the reputation that Yuvraj Singh enjoys in the Indian line-up.
The Pakistani allrounder had little hesitation in declaring the Indian left-hander as a better batsman than him.
"Yuvraj is a better batsman than me, I have no doubt," he said.

Dhoni must take all the blame - how could he let yousuf and soyappu take singles in the 20-30 over period? he shuld strangled the 2 for singles and should have made them commit mistakes.......very inept captaincy - not the stuff you expect from someone who is aiming to be one amongst the all time greatest captains

he is seeing success with that "packed leg side field" concept and refusing to budge away from it

........today too, he had packed the leg side and kept off side open.......
biggest success of Dhoni has been his ability to bury personal choices and do things without any mental baggage or opinion abt anything - if he has a mental baggage of sucess with "packed leg side fields" then he would hurt himself...

23/1 - Dhoni walks in. I watch with crossed fingers seeing my theory destroyed. Dhoni starts slowly, consolidates, as wickets fall at other end. Slowly he accelerates and a match winning century. Inge DH and Maddy rip into me - ippo enna seiveenga - Dhoni has proved that he doesnt only come in when the score is 95/1 in favourable conditions - ippo enna seiveenga. I sweat, sweat shouting...NNOOOOO...
and then I wake up!
Infact, Dhoni didnt even come before Kohli! Nyaayam dhaane, difficult situation-la #3-la vandhu fail aagi vaangi kattikka, avar enna kENaiyA?
Ofcourse, I am biased, prejudiced, personal enemity with Dhoni etc.
Ofcourse, when India beat West Indies, with Dhoni coming in at #3 and scoring at strike rate of 456.83, I will be ridiculed at.
More than his field setting failures yesterday, which I wouldnt blame much, it is his fans' deifying him and not questioning his tendency to live ina comfort zone as a batsman that is hurting us. Ofcourse, it doesnt matter as he will carefully use favourable situations to maintain a great average, and when Yuvi, Zaheer and Viru return, ride piggyback on them for captaincy victories.

We were three bowlers short - Dhoni
The real reasons India's defeat was that the bowlers leaked too many singles in the middle overs
http://www.cricinfo.com/iccct2009/co...ry/426857.html
"Between the 30th and the 42nd over, we gave away nearly 100 runs. That's too many runs when the field is spread. That was tough. I have never seen so many runs scored backward of point.
As a captain you can only set the field, you can't bowl yourself. I think the Pakistan bowlers exploited the conditions really well. The spinners, the fast bowlers, they bowled in the areas where they had fielders.
Dhoni admitted his bowlers had been fooled into bowling short by the practice wickets in Johannesburg, where the balls rose sharply. "The conditions were different here, and we should have adapted. It's about adaptability and you have to be smart at the international level."
But did he miss a fifth bowler? "At times I felt I was three bowlers short," he shot back. There were times, he said, he didn't know who go to or what fields to set. "Wherever I put a fielder, the ball went elsewhere."

Better Dravid shud opt himself out of India team ...
he shud not lose his wicket ... he has to play supportive role in the team .... at the same time he has to score at the strike rate of 100 ...he ll be sent in any position also he has to fill the opening slot in unexpected situations ...

Any criticism of dhoni is rubbed off as he is against shoni so... You are saying the same now.many times here, we documented dhoni coming in at #3 when convenient and hiding when the asking. Rate is big. Denying it, ignoring it but never acknowledging it - especially when the incidents have been pretty obvious and discussed when hot here.
Seri vudunga, anyway india will go to semis.wi will be totally demolished.
But on the other side, looks like something fishy - how can england win like this? Seems fixed by icc to justify 'champions' tag for england - england's presence in the trophy was criticised a lot - maybe some fixing to ensure england come out looking good. What good following a tournament in which england do well? Let's just ignore this shm

Johnson promises to bounce out India
Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson has said he will pepper the Indian batsmen with short deliveries when the teams meet in Centurion today for a crucial ICC Champions Trophy match which will decide their semi-final prospects.
The Indian top order was caught short by short-pitched deliveries during their failed campaign in the World Twenty20 in England this June. That led to an unexpected recall to the ODI squad for Rahul Dravid, one of the most technically adept batsmen in the country against hostile bowling attacks.
''The Indians are used to playing on wickets that don't really bounce above knee height, so to get a few short ones up there hopefully unsettles them,'' Johnson told the Sydney Morning Herald. ''Pretty much early on in someone's innings, or if you find someone who really can't play the short ball, you've probably got to bowl a few more at them.''
Australia already have one foot in the top four while India, following their defeat against Pakistan, need to win tonight to stay in contention. Allrounder James Hopes said the fact that India are under greater pressure should give his team enough incentive to knock them off their perch.
"They are one of the favourites to win the tournament I would assume, so we have been given the chance to put them out and we are looking forward to hopefully doing that," Hopes said. "Now it comes down to one game to see whether we have to win on Wednesday (against Pakistan) to get into the semi-finals, or whether we can go straight through and put India out. It's going to be a high-pressure game, it's going to be good to play in."
Both teams entered the tournament on the back of series wins. Australia lashed England 6-1 after conceding the Ashes, while India warmed-up with a win in the Compaq Cup tri-series in Sri Lanka.

18.40 Heavy rain. Pools of water all around. Looks awful. Unlikely play will resume any time soon. I will say it again - there is no reserve day. Even for the final. India and Australia will just share points. So that means for India to go on they will have to beat West Indies, Pakistan will have to beat Australia, and even then India's net run rate will have to be good for them. For Australia, a win or a split point will take them through. Even if they lose they can make it on net run rate. If Australia win their next game, India are virtually out.

Actually, Sreesanth is a better option than some of our current pacers. Also, RP Singh's status as close friend of Dhoni, and partner in test drive when Dhoni bought a Hummer, and his continued presence in the team despite consistent failures...ofcourse, ippo vEra vazhi illAma he has been unselected...still, no eyebrows raised? IdhuvE Sourav-A irundhirundhA?
It is easy to blame field placings and tactical failures in the Pakistan match but the fact is we have been building up towards this failure by refusing staunchly to look outside the likes of RP Singh - and this is where Dhoni needs to be questioned - he believes Abhishek Nayar is not a bowler so Nayar never gets chances even if Yousuf Pathan has been failing left, right and centre. This is not a tactical mistake in a match, this is a failure of management on part of Dhoni where he has let his personal prejudice(believing Nayar is not good enough) hurt the team. It is another matter that Nayar may not be good but he has to be given a chance? A good captain doesnt wait for Yusuf Pathan to fail in thousand matches beffore understanding this - that is where Dhoni's legend as great captain fails. A great captain wouldnt have waited so long to drop RP and Yousuf. That is why, Dhoni' legendary status as captain is a figment of a few peoples' imagination - there is a long way to go.

Also, in the absence of Zaheer Khan, Dhoni's on-field captaincy has been shown up. Zaheer was literally the fast-bowling captain for Dhoni - there is a lot more to the success we had in the recent success than Dhoni, it seems. I also believe Sehwag had a good hand at motivating the likes of Ishant, Gauti(who never fails to acknowledge Sehwag - infact, he praises Sehwag far more than Dhoni, whom he hardly mentions) and Mishra. But poor Viru has the image of naive jatman. Hmm...media manipulation, rock star image etc...can do a lot more for you.

A batsman resorts to this when the ball is good and he can see no opportunity to score? And when you play that stroke the ball goes, depending on the line, to mid off or mid on? Granting all that, why do we invariably station our mid off and mid on halfway to the boundary, so that every single time the batsman plays the safest of shots, he is guaranteed a single? [Compounding that is the fact that spinners work best when luring the batsmen to try and go over the top; bring the fielder in and the tactic is on, push him out, and you remove one of the main weapons of the attacking spinner.]
The "Robin Singh nalla dive paNNuvarunga avaru player-A irukkarachE. avara fielding coach-A pOtturalAm" strategy doesnt seem to be working, indeed!

[While on Bajji, the team needs to get over this 'seniority' hang up and start picking players for form, not for how many years he has been part of the side -- this business of automatically picking Bajji as the first spinner is past its use-by date. Amit Mishra impresses whenever he gets to bowl; so does Pragyan Ojha. Yet both these bowlers are reduced to sitting on the sidelines during their best years, simply because someone carved on a stone somewhere that if we play one spinner that has to be Bajji, form or no form].

What India need to do to go through
The washout in Centurion means India and Australia will battle it out for one semi-final slot in Group A, with Pakistan already through. If Australia beat Pakistan on Wednesday, they'll obviously go through as toppers in their group, while Pakistan will take the second slot. It'll get more complicated, though, if Australia lose to Pakistan and India beat West Indies. Then, the margins of the wins will decide which team joins Pakistan in the last four.
The vital question is the margins of victories. Currently, the difference between the net run-rates of Australia and India appear vast: +1.00 for Australia, -1.08 for India. The good thing from India's point of view, though, is that those numbers have come about on the basis of one match only - the stats from no-result matches are excluded in the calculation of net run rates. Thus, Australia's positive net run-rate is because they've scored 50 more runs than they've conceded (in the win against West Indies), while India have conceded 54 more runs than they've scored (in the defeat against Pakistan).
For India to pip Australia, they need to ensure that they redress that balance; in other words, they need to make up for that combined difference of 104 runs. If, for example, Australia lose by 50 runs and India win by 54, the net run-rates of both teams will be exactly zero (in which case the tie-breaker will be balls per wicket for each team in completed matches). If the margin of either result is one run more, Australia's NRR will slip below India's.
That difference of 104 can be made up in any combination - if Australia lose by 20, India will need to win their game by 85 runs (assuming Australia chase and India bat first). If Australia lose by 104, a one-run win will suffice for India.
The logic is similar if Australia bat first and if India chase, though it'll be much tougher for India to overcome the NRR deficit: if Australia and West Indies both score 250 batting first, Pakistan and India will both need to chase the runs in about 40 overs for India's NRR to sneak ahead of Australia's.
It's a tall order for India, whose only advantage is that theirs is a day-night game on Wednesday, which means they'll know exactly what they need to do halfway into their match.

LM, unless Pak decide to throw it or sell it for a few rupees to bookmakers, it is a tough match for Australia. The bowling attack is pure Gold, Ajmal and Afridi are good enough to strangle this Aussie team. If Gul and Aamer come to the party...then pak might simply do the job all by themselves with a 100 run win
Then India will only need a 4 run win.
I think the key is both India and Pak need to bat first...will make life much simpler for India. Even if Pak win by 1 run, then India need a 103 win simply, and that is a lot simpler equation than the difficult equations with batting second - especially given that bowling is WI's stronger suit.
I think all we need is an ounce of Dhoni's luck - and I dare not bet against it!

Yeah, Pakistan is unpredictable. Not only that, you never know if they have 'fixed it already' when they step on to the field.
Then again, there is this strange notions that Pakistan captains get - like Younis blabbering that beating India is paramount and they can afford to lose the tournament but need to beat India, just before this tournament started - so even if they lose to Aus just to spite India, one cant be too surprised.
irundhaalum, I have a positive vibe for India w.r.t this trophy. I just hope Eng or NZ dont end up winning the trophy - now, that will be really bad for Cricket.
P_R, just noticed your point on Egambaram, I say, this is the fault of ODIs - the way things are, batsmen are so used to crappy flat pitches that even a bowler who shows hintso f movement forces them into a shell when faced with praveen kumar nad kulasekar and likes. Look at how Praveen Kumar gets hammered around in 20-20. The fact that ODI offers space for bowlers like PK to be respected is what tells me that it is in death bed.

Dhoni, Ishant, Bhajji, RP - ok - because they contributed in the negative
Raina - a bit unfair - his contribution was in the lower positive adhukkaga?
Dravid pEche edukkala - if Raina is culpable, surely Dravid is but my view is neither of them
Sachin - almost 0 contri but still not -ve
Karthik- he was part of a victory even though his own contri to the victory was nil. He didnt play the lost match.
I guess Dhoni has to take the blame - favouring friend RP, failing to bell the durbhajan cat(Dravid, Ganguly ellAm oodhi thaLLinavar, indha kosuru party-ai nenachA thookka mudiyadha?), wayward tactical decisions. More than that, the tendency to bat at #3 in favourable conditions, and exposing others in difficult situations - this is the single biggest morale affecting factor for a team when your leader hides behind you when the going is tough and rides on your shoulder when the going is easy.

India eyeing Australia defeat to rise to No 1 ODI spot
Despite their premature exit from the Champions Trophy, India can still achieve the number one ranking in one-day internationals, provided England defeats Australia in Friday's semifinal.
Courtesy their thrilling last-ball win over Pakistan on Wednesday and the victory in the group stages against the West Indies, Australia today displaced South Africa from the top of the ICC ODI rankings.
Hosts South Africa, which entered the tournament as the numero uno side with 126 ratings points, has slipped to the third position on 121 points after suffering defeats against Sri Lanka and England.
India retained its second position but has conceded two ratings points and now sits on 124.
An Australian defeat would drop Ricky Ponting's men to 124 ratings points and behind India when ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point.
In the Player Rankings, it is still India first and second with Dhoni and vice-captain Yuvraj Singh occupying the first and second spots in the batting chart respectively, while Sri Lanka's Nuwan Kulasekara is just ahead of New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori in the bowling chart.
South Africa captain Graeme Smith has climbed up five places to the third position after scoring 206 runs while Australia's Mike Hussey is just behind in fourth spot after jumping two places to trail second-placed Yuvraj by four points.
His 96 not out off 57 balls against the West Indies in the semi-final of the World Twenty20 at The Oval has fetched him the title.

No Chance, Vinod. Mr. Cricket Mike Hussey with 119 matches and an average of 52.36 has been able to score only 3299 runs. Pontingaavadhu 110 matchla 5000 runs adikkiradhavadhu..

It not like that Ajay
Ponting is a third down batsman unlike lower order batsman hussey who rarely gets chance to score ....
hussey's average is because of his not outs ... he is 32 times not out in his 95 innings which is just 4/7 less than ponting/sachins not out in their entire career ...
so kooti kalichu paatha ponting ippo irruka form la ithae average maintain pannuna he has a chance to equal sachins record ....

Point taken, Vinod. But still i doubt the capability of Ponting in outscoring Sachin's number of runs.
It is very tough to score 5000 runs in 100 matches. For doing that, he has to be consistent throughout. And that is the thin line that separates Ponting from Sachin's greatness.

Thin line, Dark line ellam othukka mudiyaadhu. Please dont compare God to Ponting. The quality of team which Ponting played, playing is uncomparable. If Ponting played for India with such a crap team bowling, fielding power, ennatha adichirupaan? Sachin was like one man army.

I'll tell you why there is no chance. Sachin took 300 innings to reach 12,000 runs. Ponting required 14 more innings.
By the same logic of yours, Ponting needs more than 110 innings to reach where Sachin is now. Adhukkulla Sachin innum oru 1000 runs cross panniduvaaru.

Thin line, Dark line ellam othukka mudiyaadhu. Please dont compare God to Ponting. The quality of team which Ponting played, playing is uncomparable.
If Ponting played for India with such a crap team bowling, fielding power, ennatha adichirupaan? Sachin was like one man army.
does not make any sense. what has our bowling and fielding do with sachin scoring runs. i understand if you are talking about us winning matches.

It is easier when you come in at 95/1 than 20/2. When you know that you have 3 solid batsmen after you and then gilly, you tend to play freer. When you know that if you screw up and your team fold up for 200, still your mcgrath and warne can skittle opposition for 150, then you play with an uncluttered mind. The fact that despite this freedom vs lack of freedom, sachin has still established better numbers, better aesthetics shows the huge gap in talent between him and pricky ranting.someone please extract stats for ponting in matches where he didn't have hayden, waughs, martyn, gilchrist etc. I bet it will be in mid 40's average

I am chasing benchmarks set by Tendulkar: Ponting
Tendulkar is amazing, says 12,000-run Ponting
(AFP) – 2 hours ago
JOHANNESBURG — Australia captain Ricky Ponting has lavishly praised record-breaking Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar for spending nearly two decades in international cricket.
"A number of innings that I have been able to sit back and watch of his (Tendulkar) over the years, I think he is an amazing player," Ponting said after completing 12,000 one-day runs at Centurion on Friday.
The Australian captain became the third batsman after Tendulkar (16,903) and Sri Lankan Sanath Jayasuriya (13,377) to achieve the feat.
Ponting reached the landmark during his unbeaten 111 in his team's nine-wicket win over England in the semi-final.
"You look at his (Tendulkar's) records, and they are quite incredible. And to think that someone can stay in the game for 20 years is pretty remarkable as well," said the Australian captain.
"I have always thought of him as the guy that sets the benchmark as far as batting is concerned and guys like me and the rest just chase and get as close as we can to him.
"So, congratulations to him for 20 years in the game. If I stay in the game for 20 years, I will probably be batting in a wheelchair by then."
Tendulkar will complete 20 years in international cricket next month, having made his Test debut against Pakistan in November 1989.
The Indian holds two world batting records, most runs in Tests (12,773) and one-day internationals. He also has the highest number of centuries to his credit -- 42 in Tests and 44 in one-dayers.
Ponting, who made his international debut in 1995, has so far scored 11,345 runs in Tests with 38 centuries and 12,043 runs in one-day internationals with 28 hundreds.

It is easier when you come in at 95/1 than 20/2. When you know that you have 3 solid batsmen after you and then gilly, you tend to play freer.
by your own admission you hate ponting so you'd good-bye your common sense when you loggin. I don't mix personality and talents and appreciate a player because he seems more likeable. Ponting has shown his despicable side at times but it doesn't take away anything from what he has achieved.
It's the typical one-eyed fan mentality that we put down other players for the sake of bigging up sachin. Sachin has dravid, laxman, sehwag, ganguly, kumble etc. We always mention the likes of hayden, martyn, gilly but never mention the valuable contribution from dravid, laxman, sehwag, ganguly, kumble etc. For a start, dravid has played a bigger part in us squaring a series in england, beating australians in 01, drawing an aways series in australia, beating pakistan in pakistan etc.
What you tring to say is lesser talents like haydne, gilly, martyn etc always play their natural game and and ponting doesn't and took confidence from playing for a good team. hayden would have taken confidence from from the fact one of the greatest ever batsman would walk to the crease after him and gilly, martyn etc were just flaying the already demoralized attacks. mcgrath and warne set attacking fields and flattened opponents because they know even if they leaked too many runs, their batsmen would still keep them in the game. Each other relied on each other. Sehwag, like hayden, plays with freedom because he knows that if he flops, the middle order is strong enough to keep them in the match. Are you going to say it was easier for sachin to walk to the crease and play the already sehwag-ed bowlers with so much freedom or play with freedom because dravid, laxman etc would save them from any blushes. At the end of the day, you can only compare what they have done not what they would have done. You're saying he's in the best team so he cannot be the best batsman around. By the same token, warne is not the greatest spinner; mcgrath is not one of the greatest bolwer ever; gilly is not the greatest wicket-keeper batsman; they were all part of the champion team. They all benifitted from the rest of the team. Akram is the best bowler because, unlike mcgrath, he did not have the support of warne, gillespie and a good batting line up. ippidiyum argue pannalaam.
There's are different kinds of pressure leading a team of great players. You're always under pressure to keep your game at a high standard and you'd have players breathing at your neck. Expectaion of the best team is such that a slight slip as a player or team and you are the target. You can hit a breath-taking hundred and still be overshadowed by a stellar performance by another team member.
There's another obvious example. If petersen did not move to england, he would just another good player in a good team and would not have the hype and hoopla he has now. he plays for a lesser team now that he grabs the headlines most of the times. The english commentators and fans believe he's the best batsman around.
I'm more open-minded and appreciate other great cricketers and I don't mind if some people don't agree with me. The best batman of the era is a toss up between ponting, sachin and lara. Who do you pick is very subjective and you'll have valid reasons but it's not clear cut.

What's your point? Ponting's record is still inferior. And he hasn't played as many tests in alien conditions(spin aiding) as sachin has in seam-aiding/high bounce, which is outside the conmfort zone for indian batsmen.
Despite several advantages, ponting still ranks behind in aesthetics and numbers.How many times has india recovered after sachin's failure? How many times has ponting got out 17 runs from victory and then watched his team crumble? How many times have the aussies crumbled for 82 chasing 120? Yeh, in the aussie team, everyone's performance went up a notch because of each other. I agree that warne is not the greatest spiner and gilly is not the greatest either.
I think the point you want to make is that you are so open minded liberal etc. So be it.
Most neutrals don't place ponting in the same level as sachin-lara. If you want to prove your liberal credentials by dping that, feel free. That doesn't prove anything.did ponting have to deal with match fixing captains?
Remember that even without these qualifiers, sachin still stands tall above ponting, unless someone wants to use pricky as a crutch to pro ew their open mindedness 
These additional circumstances that I quoted only accentuate sachin's greatness. To take that sidenotes and argue that becuase you disaagree with those sidenotes, sachin's greatness is less is disingenuous or naïve - I think the word naïve is going to get your goat if I am right in my guess.

Plum, I don't see why there is any reason to waver. Against Aus one has to support even a Mars XI. As simple as that.
And NZ are likeable precisely because they are nobodies. Butler, Redmond appidinnu middle of the road names-Oda innoccuous-A oru team.
And it is a tradition. Edgar, Turner, Wright, Smith,Chatfield, Harris, Morrisson. Eminently forgettable electoral list names.
One struggles to have strong opinions about them either way. When confused it is better to like.
