The Brisbane Test

[laj]

Ponting is not a great example.
Taylor was a genius.
Ponting didn't create pressure he released it with defensive fields.
Probably found it hard to adjust after he lost McGrath I guess

Yes, as great as batsman as Ponting was he certainly struggled with the captaincy. That showed up after we started to lose the champions players. Ian Chappell, Taylor and Clarke were the best 3 I come across, closely followed by Border, who took a while to grow into the role but when he did he was very good.
