I second Ponting's thoughts/observations. In the Indian Subcontinent, dew is a big factor in determining the result of the game and teams prefer to chase down the totals due to DEW. I would suggest for changing the Game timings, instead of starting at 2.30 pm, have them started at 1 pm, to reduce the impact of the Dew. It makes lots sense to audience aswell, as most of the people who go watch the matches are preferring to go with families and with kids, changed timings also help in returning home early, not impacting next days schedule !!!

He doesnt have any work other than praising his SIR RICKY THOMAS PONTING who lost ashes in the worst possible manner.
350 SCORED BY TEAM AUSTRALIA,FAKE GOD SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR SCORED 175 RUNS BUT SIR RICKY THOMAS PONTING AND HIS CO. FIGHT BACK AND WIN BY 3 RUNS DESTROY ALL BATTING LINE UP BY THEIR B GRADE BOWLERS AT THAT TIME. TIAT,LEE,KREJA ABSENT IN THAT MATCH.
in practice match vs India, he said pitch turned too much for second innings, because they were unable to face spin, now he says Dew will help batting, it means if there wasn't a dew on practice match vs india, they wud have bowled out below 100, instead 176 ?
start by Sir Ricky Thomas Ponting by giving such comments.hussey,kreja give their best in Commonwealth series.They easily give good fight in spin dept.
