The biggest challenge you face coaching an IPL team is how late most of your overseas players arrive. When you're trying to build team plans and team culture, it's really hard to do in such a short space of time

Without a doubt!
Andrew Flintoff at his best

Humble guy Symonds!
I played with a lot of selfless players, but one that sticks out is . He would do absolutely anything at any time for his teammates

Well, Rohit Sharma's three titles would speak for itself surely!
I rate exceptionally highly as a batsman and leader. His captaincy record in the IPL speaks for itself

Mates!
Justin Langer was my favourite batting partner and to this day would love to bat with him one more time

Who hasn't struggled against Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath?
Two of the great bowlers of all time, was never easy facing them in the nets and thankful I didn't have to face them in the middle much

The man still remembers his first International Scalp!
Asanka Gurusinha was my first international wicket, caught Healy bowled Ponting at the MCG

Jasprit Bumrah who!?
I think what Pat Cummins has done over the last 12 months has him clearly the best fast bowler in the world

This is why the 2007 WC triumph was sweet for Ponting!
For me it's 2007 because when we got there the overriding sentiment from the media and the public was that our team and certain players in our team were way past their best. But we had another undefeated campaign

Steve Smith's batting position in limited overs has been revealed!
It looks to me like he's going to be batting 3 in this series and I think that's the perfect spot for him

Interesting choice!
In England or Australia, I'd go

Bold prediction?
Australia will be full of confidence after an excellent World Cup and a great summer of Test cricket but India will be keen to redeem themselves from the last ODI series loss against Australia. Prediction: 2-1 Australia

Bhajji takes the price!
Wasim Akram and Curtly Ambrose were easily the best fast bowlers I've ever faced. Shoaib Akhtar clearly the quickest but Harbhajan Singh got me out more than anybody
