For so long the scourge of English cricket, Ricky Ponting unarguably one of cricket s all-time greats looks back on the story of his remarkable life and career.
With his customary honesty and candour, Ponting reflects on a lifetime at the crease from childhood prodigy to the highs and lows of his extraordinary international career.
