According to realestate.com.au<\/a> he\u2019s technically a retiree ready to downsize, but the vendor of this grand Brighton mansion also happens to be the ex-captain of the Australian Cricket team.<\/p>\n

Cricket legend Ricky Ponting, and his wife Rianna, have decided to sell their glamorous Melbourne<\/a> property \u2014 essentially because it\u2019s on the wrong side of town.<\/p>\n

The couple is trading in their seven-bedroom Brighton home of 10 years for a six-bedroom Toorak residence so they\u2019ll be closer to the kids\u2019 sporting activities.<\/p>\n

A decade ago it was the schools, restaurants and beach \u2014 plus proximity to friends such Ricky\u2019s former teammate and longtime Brighton resident the late Shane Warne \u2013 which attracted the Pontings to the vibrant suburb.<\/p>\n

\u201cShane living there did play a big role in us moving to Brighton,\u201d Rianna told the\u00a0AFR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had been to his home many times and fell in love with the area and Ricky loved having a mate around the corner to play golf with.\u201d<\/p>\n

After retiring from full time cricket in 2012, Ricky and Rianna sold the family home in Sydney\u2019s Sutherland Shire and headed south to settle in Melbourne\u2019s Bayside area.<\/p>\n
