Ricky Ponting
I congratulate Ricky Ponting on being chosen to succeed Steve Waugh as the captain of the Australian Test Cricket team.
Ricky Ponting is a fine player whose great tactical understanding of the game will prove invaluable in his new challenge. His batting ability has been a strong factor in the success of the Australian side in recent years.
All Australian cricket lovers will give him their support when he assumes the captaincy.
