Nah, he's been pretty good in the ODI arena. Great to see Ryan Harris in there and the Kat in the test team.

What about Ponting being named as Skipper?

That is a surprise. Ponting, I mean.

He's still batting well enough to command a spot in our XI, but that's about where it stops for mine.

I'd love to see the stats of the other bats, compared against Ponting...
