If Ricky Ponting’s Australia can beat Pakistan in the first Test, it will make him the most successful captain in the history of cricket’s most successful nation, something pondered by Malcolm Conn in the Australian today (28 December), and by Greg Baum in The Age before the Test started.
Mention of Ponting also qualifies as sufficient excuse to visit James Lawton’s wonderful open letter of consolation to the Aussie skipper after the Ashes defeat of summer ’09.
