Australia cricket captain Ricky Ponting is one of the North Melbourne Football Club’s most passionate fans.

When there’s no cricket on the cards, the world class batsman switches his focus to the mighty Kangaroos and supports the side with passion and loyalty.

This week ahead of the first test in Brisbane, North players have thrown their support behind the club’s number one ticket holder and his quest to bring the Ashes back to Australia.
