Hayden and Langer are very very very very very bad, given my mute button a workout the last couple of days.

Ponting is good
Everyone else is okay although I find Mark Howard extremely cringe

Worst of all time was Slater
Dave Warner will be missed!

Ponting is very cricket-smart but he's juuuust starting to become a bit full of himself.

Hayden :Hangman: . Can't believe anyone could annoy me so much that they are more annoying than Brayshaw.

Ponting, Blewie, Alison MItchell and Tim Lane are all very good. Blewett is underrated IMO, bit of a shame he wasn't on the old Ch 9 team, I think he would have complemented that team well.
