Ricky Ponting today became the first player ever to appear in 100 wonTests. His tally of won Tests easily beats the tally of two nations -- New Zealand and Sri Lanka, who have so far won only 68 and 61 Tests respectively.
Two other nations -- Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are yet to play 100 Tests, but on the current form they will need many more Tests than Ponting to win 100 Tests.
