Punter Punted.

Forgive me a non-economic post. Going to be talking about the cricket.
Ricky Ponting, one of the greats of the game in Australia and around the world has declared that today's test match in Perth will be his last. Sad days.
The question I ask is if his form is bad enough to warrant the retirement (though at age 37, he probably just wants a rest). Lets go to the graph.

Using Michael Clarke as the control as he is the "in form" batsman in Australia at the moment (and also the player that replaced him as Australian captain.)

While there was a bit of an uptick in the final year, it was pretty clear that Punters best days were in the rear vision mirror. Time to go.
