"Both Steve Waugh & Ricky Ponting were extremely passionate before they became captain, they loved playing for Australia. But once made Captain, they saw clearly their role to lead by example. Stephen did it in a slightly different manner, Stephen was fairly concise but impactful with his words, if he spoke people stood up, heard and listened, he was a man of history, he talked about the road less travelled, leaving that mark in history in a very successful team. Ricky, was not a person to make a decision on his own, Ricky spent a lot of time going around the room and canvassing their thoughts. Now he would have a pretty good idea on what he wanted to do but if there was the opportunity that someone has something better to say or it gave him the opportunity to convince people why they should follow his ideas"
