This whimsical way of looking at a captain is something that needs to go away. Ponting is doing his best in converting a younster group into a fighting unit. Yes he has daemons to deal with considering he did not have to face difficulties early on in his career. Good captaincy does not mean you win all the time. It means best use of talent available. If there is not enough talent, win will not happen all the time.
Captain Pontings dressing room TV Breaking and onfield outburst with Smith are enough to sack him as captain. His batting form also was not good and as per Australian Standards he would have sacked much before this WC.

Why are we so interested in their internal matter? How does it matter to us if he is captain of Australia or not? This is none of our business, its their board to decide.
However, if you are an Australian citizen, then you are free to express your feeling on some Australian forum where CA could hear you.-)

By this logic Dhoni should also be sacked. If you don't know how to treat great players then keep your month shut.

if u remember the match Ind Vs SA,
kohli and bhajji were using MC and BC without any shame. . Should they be banned as they have made anti women comments.... . Ponting is far better than them,,, lets be neutral. just because he is an aussie dont bash him.
