AB has many to his credit...Taylor has Warne and Glenda, Waugh has the Hayden-Langer combo and tarnsformational philosophy of mental disintegration which worked so well....makes you wonder, what does Ponting have?<BR/><BR/>One player Ponting has developed/shaped....one new direction he has given to the team other than down, deceit and disgruntulation...difficult to name one<BR/><BR/>All he has done as captain is to make them a bunch of poor winners (when they can manage it or stage-manage it). In my mind, he was long past his sell-by date...the long puffy tin has now exploded on the shelf.
