Southern Hemisphere vs Northern Hemisphere

I know he is a good player, but when you've played 250 odd ODI's as he has your average and strike rate do give a very fair indicator of your success levels ...

And as for his captaincy, Ponting is a WC winning captain, so that's fine for me.

if only fleming wasn't batting on the new zealand pitches all the time!

Fleming is the best captain that ive ever seen, and a top bat considering the pitches he plays on. This also means anyone who brings up Bond's record must factor in the NZ pitches too.

Bond still averages a very respectable 24 away from home, including his best match haul. A top class bowler, unfortunate about his injury worries though. One of the few quickies in the world who whenever the occassion has arisen, he has duly stuck it to the Aussies. If it was a Test Side, Bond would have to be the pace spearhead along with Ntini for the Southern team. However for an ODI, you would have to put Binga ahead of one of them. Agreed definately re: Fleming though. Excellent, high quality player, whom i have huge respect for.

I'm sorry, but with the attack australia has had at times, a monkey could have captained them to the WC win.
