Ponting goes one-on-on with team-mates

Ricky Ponting talks to the Sun-Herald’s Chloe Saltau about his captaincy and how he is having individual chats with his players ahead of the World Cup.

“One of the first things I did when we got here was to hold one-on-one meetings with all the players," Ponting said. "I asked them about their roles, if they were confused about their roles within the team. The responses I got were really positive.”

Peter Roebuck asks in the Sunday Age if a subcontinental team can win the World Cup while Rohit Brijnath writes about the “big, fat, overblown World Cup”.

The naming of Australia's official all-time one-day side was two weeks ago, but Mark Waugh unveils his squad in his column.
