He also took them to wins against the strongest side in the world (SAF) in their own country in the era right after losing Warne, Magrath, Langer, Haydon from the side, with a bowling attack of Johnson, Siddle & Hilfy......He wasn't Mark Taylor, but he was certainly better than Smith, and probably equal to Waugh (who never had any challenges really).
I reckon Ponting is a long way ahead of Smith. The latter doesn't seem able to think on his feet and has a formulaic approach to captaincy.
