Warne backs Ricky

Even though I think Ricky Ponting is a pretty poor captain, it amazes me that there should be any discussion about whether he is the right man to lead Australia into The Ashes. Of course he is. You can't change the captain now and expect it not to have a negative impact....and Clarke isn't exactly nipping at Ponting's heals suggesting he'd be better.

Shane Warne has used his own blog to tell us that Ricky is best to lead despite his shortcomings in the India Tests and once again I find it difficult to disagree. It's worrying agreeing with Warne this much....
