Product Description
Product Description
The 2006a??07 Ashes series was eagerly anticipated, and for Ricky Ponting's Australian team it played out like a dream, as they destroyed England 5a??0. Ponting described the series as 'the best period of my cricketing life'. Yet, an even more commanding performance was just around the corner. In a drawn out and controversial World Cup in the West Indies, the Australians were supreme, winning all their matches easily. Not even the fact that the final against Sri Lanka ended in near darkness after officials misinterpreted the playing conditions could hide the fact that this triumph was one of the most dominant in the history of Australian sport. The only sobering thought for the Aussie skipper was that in future he would have to go into battle without some of his most famous teammates a?? Warne, Glenn McGrath, Justin Langer and Damien Martyn a?? and also without longtime coach John Buchanan. All retired during the 2006a??07 season, and in this diary, Ponting pays tribute to the massive contribution each of these men made to their sport. But though they may be gone, the captain refuses to be pessimistic. While there may never be another season of success quite like the one covered in this book, in Ricky Ponting's eyes the future of Australian cricket still looks very good indeed.

Having livedin Perth, Western Australia from 1970-1884, I spent alot of my free tme at the WACA watching test and state cricket matches made my interest in cricket grow. From the Chappel brothers to Denis Lillie to Rod Marsh Australian cricket has always been in safe hands apart from the selectors. Then came the Packer yrs when my heros were playing to small crowds at awful grounds. But now over 25 yrs later would players like Ricky Ponting have developed as much if it wasnt for the Packer rebels? Ricky has a hard act to follow, he was always on a hiding to nothing because of the success of his predecessors. But over the years Ricky has taken the task of captain in his stride and he will be remembered with the rest as a great captain who was laways pride to wear the green cap.
