The problem with Ponting is in the mind. It is just that he should forget about the consequences and play a Sehwag kind of innings and it may work out well against this Indian attack. If he gets too defensive, he will eventually get out for a good ball. So just be a Sehwag or a Warner and play your shots.
If you look at his expression in the picture above, we can clearly say that he is saying why people are talking about him like that considering India has a baby bowling attack. Cant I score against suck weak baby bowling attack that does not possess pace,seam,swing,bounce with good line and length
Stage set for Ponting to save his place in Australia team for another year. He will be having the luck of saving place with baby bowling Indian attack.
Ponting is nowhere in his best form and he is an easy wicket for india. At best he could make a sedate 100 in one of the matches which will have no bearing on the result what so ever. So it is advantage for india if he is selected. Moreover, he is like an elephant in the dressing room who needs to be pulled. His selection frustrates many players and they also can not perform well. CA made Watson and marsh fake injuries just to justify his selection. Ponting is responsible for early retirement of greats like warne, mcgrath and gilchrist. Because they can not play under untalented leader. Warne continues playing even now for money, so he can easily play for australia longer time if he was made captain. Then australia would still be number 1, or at most number 2. I am keeping fingers crossed for ponting selection.

may be cricket australia can make watson retire early to make room for ponting. Watson anyways is focusing more on twenty 20 because its no fun playing for australia with no good grandpa still around.
It would be foolish on the part of australia to drop Ponting in the boxing day test simply because there is no substitute available now.Besides, it just takes one innings for Ponting to come back to form as did Dravid not too long ago.
