    Tasmanian Tigers at the age of 19 years. Described by Australian Cricket Academy

    Batting at no. 3, he loves fast bowling and hits the ball hard. He averages 63.2 as
    captainand58.2overall.

    His strength as a captain was challenged during the 2007/8 tour of Australia by the
    Indian test and oneday teams. Ponting, as captain, was criticised about standards of
