Ponting An Average Captain?

So, Slappin' Harbhajan Singh has claimed that Little Captain Punter is 'an average captain'. Oh, Bhaji... methinks you've seriously overestimated the man's leadership abilities.

Hey, speaking of captains whose statistical record belies their true ability, Mr Cricket led Australia to a 20/20 loss against Adam Gilchurch's All-Stars in some kind of charity fixture last night. Not surprising, really. Australia may have very recently been a good cricket team (and may have had 'Professor X' Doherty in their lineup), but the All Stars boasted such dazzling legends of the game as Dan 'Don't Call Me Rod, Geoff or Shaun' Marsh, Mr Steve Magoffin and Andrew 'Ronald' McDonald. So, foregone conclusion, really.

Highlight of the night? Andrew 'Roid' Symonds terrifying two small children into taking his place on the field while he took time out to read the latest issue of Fishing World.
