Ponting's problems
Ricky Ponting has got his hands full. His current Australian is on an alarming decline and his captaincy has come for lot of stick from all corners and many in Australia have called for his head. It all started with Australia unable to win the test against India in Bengaluru, a match that should have been won by them. What followed was even worse, they were totally outplayed by the Indians in Mohali and his captaincy attracted lot of criticism. And in the final test were Aussies had to win to square series he kept on with the part timers so that he could escape match referee's ban. This act of his was severly condemned by all as Aussies were in a strong position when Ponting decided to go with the part timers and that allowed India to claw back into the match and they batted them out of the series. And back home South Africa had come with real intent of winning the series, something which has not been achieved by any team over the last 16 years. And Aussies were not able to defend 414 in the first test and that left Ponting complaining about the famous WACA pitch saying "Its not the old WACA pitch". I really don't know how a home captain can complain about WACA pitch and that too being the world champions-Shame on you Punter!!!!!!!! And in the second test he scored a fine hundred and a 99 but that was not enough to save the team from losing. Ponting conceeded defeat saying it was a deserved on. His real problem is the bowling which does not look like taking 20 wickets. He has tried all sorts of attacks but !!!!!!!!!!! . But Punter says Aussies will regain those glory days!!! A long way to go for Ricky..........
