The leader and his band of loyal players created amazing records that were very tough to break. They had great camaraderie and bonding which was the hallmark of the side.
On one of Ricky Ponting’s posts on Instagram, He uploaded an image with all his Australian teammates which excluded the Late Great Wrist spinner Shane Warne who passed away recently. It was the team that had plenty of options to replace if anyone gets injured and they always played with an aggressive approach.
