Dav Whatmore, speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, says the wins of Bangladesh and Ireland should be a lesson to the knockers, who include Ricky Ponting.
"It goes to show, given an opportunity, certain teams will grasp it if they've got some talent. It should be a bit of a lesson to everyone who is a knocker of this sort of thing. The Australian captain comes from Tasmania, and Tasmania got some good help along the way, I might add, going back.”
