Pay-off time for Punter
The risk for Australia, however, is that they may suffer the same fate as the West Indies. When Richie Richardson took over a great team that was moulded by Vivian Richards things gradually started to go in a downward spiral. While they still kept winning most Test series, the number of Tests drawn or lost started slowly increasing. Eventually, they started to lose Test series.
But on the basis of Ponting's captaincy record in one-dayers, that seems to be a far-fetched dream.
The Aussies established a 21-game record-winning streak. They went unbeaten from January 11, 2003, to May 24, 2003, and Ponting headed the averages for that period, scoring 738 runs at 52.71 in 20 matches.
