Ponting the coach and captain

He's a coach as well as captain. "The coaching staff have talked to me about not spending too much time trying to help the young blokes out during the summer at the expense of my own preparation - but that's what I love," Ponting said. "If I don't know enough about them, about how they're going to handle situations and what they can and can't do, then it's pretty hard for us to win games together.”
