There are some crazy sums there ....Ponting is a mystery.

Some of these guys are well past their use by dates ...still as you say will be good to watch .

They will not have a problem getting crowds to the games

It would be more successful if English cricketers were involved, seeing as though we are probably the best in the world at the moment.
