Is Ricky Ponting Australia's best batsman after Don Bradman?

I didn't see Chappell but its hard to believe he was clearly better than Punter.Steve Waugh was superb and my favourite aussie batsmen yet still i believe Punter was better.

true, the second place after Bradman is a very close call. I feel Greg Chappell played against and had the better of more great bowlers than Ponting has
