To step away from the bad cricketing stories this week, Ricky Ponting, past Australian cricket great, captain and batsman, owns his own winery, Ponting Wines. In a long line of sporting greats who also own wines, like Aussie Joe, Peter Sterling Ports and John Quayle has a nice Hunter Valley Chardonnay. Maybe Ricky can sell it to the Poms to drown their Ashes sorrows.
