Ponting Set for Surrey

Surrey have signed former Australia Captain Ricky Ponting on a two month deal

Ponting played his last test for Australia in december las year and has scored 27, 483 runs for his contry across all formats, notching up 71 centuries in a golden era of Australian cricket.
In his most recent appearance for Tasmania, he hit an unbeaten 200 and is also due to represent the Mubain Indians in the upcoming IPL. Speaking this week Ponting said I am really excited to be playing for Surrey this season. They are a forward thinking and historic club and play at one of the greatest gounds in the world. it has not been the friendliest place for me but now it will be my home for two months this summer. I dont like to think i can contribute a significant amount to the club on and off the field and am looking forward to getting stuck in as soon as I arrive.
 Surrey team director Chris Adams added we knew we would lose Graeme to the ICC Champions Trophy in June. THat given we focused on recruting the best possible replacement and in Ricky Ponting, we have signed one of the greatest batsmen of the modern era.
