RT Ponting became the second batsman in the annals of test cricket to appear in 100 tests while batting at number three. Ponting earned this distinction when he batted at number three against Pakistan at Sydney in the second test.

Ponting’s first ball duck in the first innings of this test provides the 93^rd occasion of a captain collecting the first ball duck in a test innings.

Ponting’s first ball duck in the first innings of this test provides the third occasion of his collecting the first ball duck in a test innings. The other two occasions were against South Africa at Perth in Dec 2008 and at Sydney in Jan 2009

Ponting with his three first ball ducks became the sixth captain to collect the first ball duck on three or more occasions. The other five are – GS Chappell of Australia {five occasions}, ST Jayasuriya of Sri Lanka {four occasions}, SP Fleming of New Zealand {three occasions}, R Illingworth of England {three occasions} and GS Sobers of West Indies {three occasions}.
