Meet our ambassadors

In 2020, David Schwartz and Mark Allen joined the team at 3AW for The Twilight Zone, where the dynamic duo present the Saturday evening football coverage from 5pm through to 7:30pm kick off.

Ricky Ponting
As Australia's leading run-scorer in Test and ODI cricket with over 13,000 test runs alone, and one of Australia's most successful captains of all time, Cricket Legend Ricky Ponting certainly does not need any introduction. Not only is Ricky one of Australia's favourite sporting hero's, he and his wife Rianna established The Ponting Foundation which raises money for research into childhood cancer. Over the past 10 years, The Ponting Foundation has raised more than $10M. We are honoured to have Ricky Ponting as a Lexus of Blackburn partner.
