ICC World Test Championship Final: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has declared Aiden Markram’s magnificent 136, which helped South Africa win the ICC World Test Championship Final at Lord’s, to be just as impressive as any other match-winning performance in a title clash.

After bagging a duck in the first innings, Markram stood up to hit a magnificent 136, laced with 14 boundaries, as South Africa chased down 282 before lunch on day four’s play, and secured a major ICC championship win after 27 years of heartbreak in the knockout stages of various tournaments.

“When you look back through big ICC events, I think the first thing that probably comes to mind is World Cup finals. And then probably Travis Head's innings (137) in the World Cup final, and then the last World Test Championship final (163).
