The team have started winning, maybe there were bigger cracks under the surface with Paine/Langer?

Perhaps knowing the end of his tenure is approaching has rejuvenated the playing group, there's obviously more than meets the eye.

I think Punter should be seeing the tailor very soon.

Wade can hide behind the stumps

Punter earns way more money elsewhere where he can pick and choose his jobs.
He wouldn’t want JL’s would he?

I think he's a man of great integrity and coaching the Australian cricket side would be the pinnacle of Aussie sporting roles.

You've seen him talk, he looks like he's incapable of chilling out, he'd be a nightmare to be around.

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting is not able to take up coaching roles with the Australian and Indian teams because of "time commitments". Ponting said "giving up 300 days a year is not something I would do" with a young family by his side. He also revealed that he was approached to be India's head coach before Rahul Dravid took over the role earlier this month following Ravi Shastri's exit after the T20 World Cup.

"Time is the only thing that's stopping me [from taking the job], to be honest," Ponting told The Grade Cricketer podcast. "I'd love to coach the Australian team, but what I have done with my playing career was being away from family as much. I have a young family now, a seven-year-old boy, and to give up 300 days a year is not what I would do. That's where the IPL works so well for me.

"To be able to coach 8-10 weeks in winter months, and to be able to come back and do the Channel 7 stuff in the summer, I have got enough work to keep me happy and to keep me around the game but also be able to spend time with the family.

"Let's see what they [CA] do, if they ever split the coaches among say, white-ball and red-ball teams. I think everyone loves to coach the Australian team. I actually think, from my view, it's almost an older man's job and not for someone who has got a young family or for a person like Justin [Langer] where he is on the other end now where his family is all grown up and moved away. You are not giving up that side of your life. It's over 300 days a year, a pretty hard job. Justin's been under pressure since he took over the job, more so, the last few months. That's the only thing that would stop me - the time commitment."

Ponting also said he had a "couple of conversations" about the India coach offer during the IPL but he had to decline it for the "exact same reason". He was also "surprised" that Dravid took up the job given that he has a young family to take care of.

"The people that I spoke to were pretty hell-bent on finding a way to make it work because first up, I can't give up that time, that means I can't coach in the IPL," Ponting said of his conversations about the India coach job.

"There was a lot of chat about how happy he (Dravid) was [with] his academy role… I am not sure about his family life… I think he has got young kids… Anyway, so I am surprised that he took it. The people that I spoke to were sure they got the right person, so they were probably able to get Dravid to do it.".

A 24-year drought will be broken next month after Cricket Australia's Board formally endorsed the men's team's tour of Pakistan.

Following a meeting of CA's directors at the governing body's Jolimont headquarters on Friday, a revised scheduled for the three-Test, three-ODI and one-T20I tour of Pakistan was given the green light.

“I would like to thank the PCB and both the Pakistan and Australian Governments for ensuring the tour will proceed for the first time in 24 years," said chief executive Nick Hockley.

"This is a historic occasion and important for the global growth and health of the game.

“I would also like to thank the Australian Cricketers’ Association and the players, coaches, support teams, staff and security experts for their collaboration in the planning for the tour.

“We are looking forward to an exciting series between two world-class teams.”

Australia last toured Pakistan in 1998 when Mark Taylor's team recorded a 1-0 win from the three-Test series.
