In contrast leaders of men like Dhoni,Smith are picture of calm,compose , confidence and look always in control of their team and situation.
Dont you think clarke would have been better choice against english.

It shows you know little about cricket in general. Why would you disrupt the team unless you were a sneaky little Indian like you trying to undermine Australians. All I can say is at least he is playing, not like Tendulkar who is to scared to play for his own country. Ponting will be left alone as captain for the series and Australia will win the 3rd test convincingly.

well dhoni fails in test matches so i think he is a bad candidate for captain.
Ponting has done so well and will continue to do so.

Constipated you say? Well his next trip to india- with it’s bland food, tainted water and smog filled smelly stadiums- will cure that.

When he started de-gelling and cracking the well knit Aussie team, Ponting never thought that he would be in-charge and has to face the music for the team’s defeat. Arm Chair Selectors by the Pool side presided by Hilldich had long decided to deride and ditch the Aussie cricket, so they neither scout for talent nor do they bother to correct the problems the team is facing. And, surprisingly, the Aussie fans are lending the support to this bunch of no gooders and brand genuine critics as tossers and losers.

Ponting is an old man who can’t control a bug, how do you expect him to control a bunch of insects then? He should have been kicked out from the match in the first place. And as for Indian players, they are saints who can control anyone they want.
Yeah, Clarke should have been better off.

Lions Roar, you really have no idea do you? Why don’t you concentrate on getting your crappy little indian team to improve. A bunch of inconsistent, corrupt, misfits bundled together to assemble a makeshift national side.
As for Krishnam’s answer, well you have not disappointed me have you. Your answer as usual makes no sense and reads like it was put together by a 4 year old. You are definitely
one of those fake contributors, oh well as long as it floats your boat.

Must congratulate and appreciate the effort put by England to draw the first Test and then winning the second one.
As far as Ponting’s captaincy goes I think everyone knows and even Ponting himself knows that he is in under tremendous pressure to retain the Ashes.
