pointing is captain of sledging, but not for the australia cricket team. He deserves this long time back. He has to be removed from the team because of his arrogant behaviour. I hope everybody will agree with me. nimmaraju S.R.K.

dost...very few people will be humble when they taste success. Otherwise, arrogance comes with victory and that's the way Punter is. He has a long story of brawls in the pub and creating a havoc in the bars but whatever said and done...you will not have a Punter...cause he is a class act while batting...he had scored runs everywhere and had won matches every ground he had played. That puts Punter in the special category.
I really believe he is the most stylish and fluent batsman when he is at his best even better than sachin but only when he is at his best, otherwise the most easiest man to get him out . Thats the problem with him and will remain always.
to step down as a captain under huge pressure of their senior players and media! I am sure he still wants to lead the side... Anyway that is the end of a great captain and nearly end of a class batsman

Perhaps they were not forced and decided to go with their Announcement Tomorrow but before that Today Ricky Announced to get some respect.
He decided that now was the best time to go. At 36, Ponting believed he can still enjoy the type of renaissance that has sustained Sachin Tendulkar in recent times. (I have to laugh here)

1. Steve Wagh (Best ever as a fighter) 2. Kapil Dev (True fighter and best allrounder till date) 3. Imran Khan (True fighter) 4. Clive Lyodd (Might be a great team) 5. Ricky Ponting (A great team and class batsman)

1 was to Steve Waugh and Loyd also has 2 with him, WC Title doesn't meant he is great and what he has done when the resources matters a lot

Totally agree with you! You should count his own capability as a player, you should perform and lead from the front unlike Ganguly as his later years...

Long ago I Said, I would Rate A Indian Test series win in SA or Aus is a better Achievement than a WC win, I m not behind WC and I wold rate the upcoming Test Championship in 2013 is Most Important one in the world
until Wednesday, but Ponting's announcement should allow Clarke to assume the captaincy on the tour, before difficult assignments against Sri Lanka and South Africa later in the year
