Punter!
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.

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

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.
