Ricky Ponting
He's got his game in order and everyone I've spoken to or heard from says he's a very, very good player. I'm told that he has a slightly different technique and hits the ball in different areas to what most blokes do and seems to be a fairly attacking, aggressive player. It will be good to see him bat.

He's had a pretty solid workout this morning and did a lot of running between the wickets in the nets, he's done a bit of extra running I think after that as well.
|
He's having a couple of stitches inside his lip.
|
He's not as hard on himself as he once was. He's learnt a lot about the way he has to play his cricket to be successful,
|
He's worked hard all through the tour and unfortunately he just hasn't been at his best,
|
His average here is higher than other grounds, (but) he'll still play a big part because I think their batsmen will be a bit worried about our pace attack and they'll probably take a few more risks against Shane,

His cricket from that moment on has been terrific, his cricket has been first class and he needs to be applauded for it.
|
His dismissal in the second innings was exactly how we want to get him out,
|
Hopefully, the longer we make him bowl, the more mistakes he'll make,
|
I am doing the best I can and I am sure the other guys are trying their best as well, we just haven't put it together yet.
|
I am sure the exposure they have had against some top teams would have helped them but we don't want to bother about what they are capable of and want to focus on what we can do.
|
I am the captain, but I am not batting for everyone in the side and I am not bowling for everyone,
|
I am totally against drop-in wickets anywhere in the world, it takes all the character away from the grounds,
|
I ask the crowd to show a bit more respect. It's unacceptable and we would like to think that it won't happen again.
