With such statements Ponting has shown his selfish, hassled side and displays plenty of un captainworthy qualities. It's time for Gilchrist or Damien Martyn to take over irrespective of what happens in the Ashes. They are guys who are more likely to assume responsibility rather than feed off the team's success like Ponting does. The decline of Aussie cricket has begun and change of skipper is all that may be required to latch on to past glory a little longer.
