Ricky Ponting to Retire After Perth Test

Australia's greatest run-getter Ricky Ponting will retire after the Perth Test against South Africa.

Ponting said that the Test against South Africa starting in Sydney on Nov. 30, 2012 would be his 168th and the last.

The former captain has obviously given up his stated desire to play in one last Ashes series in England next year looking at his run drought in this series.

He has not made much of an impact in the two Tests in Brisbane and Adelaide.

The Tasmanian has an astonishing record, scoring 13,366 Test runs at an average of 52.21. He is the second highest run scorer behind Sachin Tendulkar.
