Punter! :D

Ricky Ponting has today been named Australia's new one-day international captain, with Adam Gilchrist his deputy. I think it's a great decision, although I would have liked to see Warnie get his chance, if they're going to have a shake-up they need fresh blood, and I think Punter will do a great job [img]smile.gif[/img] . Now all that's left is to drop Junior ;) .

As much as I hate to say it, Ponting will make a good captain for Australia.

Oh you horrible horrible woman [img]tongue.gif[/img]
If Warnie wants to become a captain first he needs to get rid of those extra chins, tone down that ego a LOT and then practice more at bowling rather than practicing feeling proud of himself.

Azzy? You can't be serious! That's downright un-Australian [img]tongue.gif[/img] . Warnie's a national treasure :D .

Though I really don't like what he's doing with his hair lately ;)

I have always despised the man ever since he got the hat trick years ago and started getting a VERY inflated self image. As a bowler and all round guy I would put Glen in front of him any day. [img]smile.gif[/img]
And im a kiwi so it dont matter if its unaustralian [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I agree with Azure, Warne needs to get back to playing cricket if he wants to be captain.

:D - spoken like a country desperately wishing they had the world's best leg spiner playing for them. They can't help in Aelia, it's in the blood so we shouldn't hold it against them [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] .

Back on topic, Warnie has his image problem, but in terms of a captain I don't think they could have done better. The short stint that he had a year or two ago bought back some of his better bowling. Some people lose form whem weighed down with captaincy - Warnie thrives on it.

I agree, Whiney's recent form has been as consistent as an ice-cream on top of Uluru! :D

He would be better spending some time in a Calcutta nightclub!

Ahh, so you are out there in the land of the living my friend. Care to talk ice skating :D .

Ooops sorry, I fell over - you win!
