the crasstralians are still thinking that after mcgrath and others left, they were the same unit with same talent. rookies like clarke without a substantial record act as if they are hallowed cricketers.
ponting's image of being a top captain is grounded. so much for all that talk of bench strength forever. its good that the big fat hot air balloon is punctured.
Australia's brittle bats are because Ponting was banned from using his ILLEGAL reinforced bats.
Remember, when Ponting was scoring all those centuries, he was using an illegal bat. Now that he doesn't get to use it, we see his real form (and nasty character).
Only we produce gentlemen cricketers, e.g., GR Viswanath, Kumble, Murali, Dravid and Sachin.
I think both Ponting and Clarke do not deserve a place in the Australian team. The whole batting line up, excepting Hussey, need a shake up and revamping.
rick pointig & his team was tinking that austriala is best team in world his team would not figure in top 10 in future india team manage atleast 136 in 1st match vs s africa they bold only on 98vs england in 4th test
