Ricky Ponting
He might go for a few but if we set the right fields for him and use him and Brett (Lee) in shorter bursts in the next two games then we will be able to cope well,
|
He obviously knows his own game really well from the success that he's had at county level and at state level, and the big thing for guys coming into the side is to know that they don't have to do any more than that.
|
He said 'Let them all in', and at the end of that night my wife Daphne and I went up to the committee room and we walked across and raised a glass, because it was one of the great moments in our lives to that time and it remains as such.
|
He should be able to take a lot of confidence from that. It was exactly what he needed. The game scenario presented itself beautifully for him.
|
He wanted to bat through and win the game so he's pretty disappointed but without him we wouldn't have done it.
|
He was a fantastic player and leader. His services to cricket have been quite remarkable.
|
He was trying to be funny but he's the one we'll probably look back at next year and I bet we'll be laughing at him like we did tonight.
|
He'd certainly be pushing for it, yeah. I think he has been and the stats would probably back it up. Time and time again he takes wickets with that new ball. Once you get one or two down with that new ball and he's still in the middle of a spell it's going to be hard work for any opposition side.
|
He's a vital bowler, someone who's done exceptionally well for us and in big games, and that's what this is building up to be.
|
He's another one who's game has developed a lot over the last couple of years,
|
He's being economical, he's getting the ball in the right areas, he's asking a question of the batsman on almost every occasion which is what you want from your bowlers, especially your new-ball bowlers.
|
He's bowling 150km/h most balls. There's a very small margin for error there.
|
He's got his game in order and everyone I've spoken to or heard from says he's a very, very good player. I'm told that he has a slightly different technique and hits the ball in different areas to what most blokes do and seems to be a fairly attacking, aggressive player. It will be good to see him bat.
|
He's had a pretty solid workout this morning and did a lot of running between the wickets in the nets, he's done a bit of extra running I think after that as well.
|
He's having a couple of stitches inside his lip.
