Where is no3?

If Australia's loss against SA was humiliating then Aussies today's loss against NZ in Hobart was painful. A team is at the crossroad.
Opening blues, inconsistent middle order, lack of pace /spin followed by their concerns for no3 spot are doing them no good!


Ponting is unarguably the most successful No 3 test batsmen world cricket has ever seen and the second best after Sir Don in Australia. He is also the only player from Australia who in-spite of losing captaincy found a place in playing 11.

But is it the end of a superstar? Is Ponting on his way into the sunset?

As its been said in Indian mythology:




"ITS A CURSE TO LOSE YOUR SKILL WHEN YOU REQUIRE IT THE MOST!"

And after so many years, he seems to be struggling to find his feet - moving....

But, now comes the series against India. Though he hasn't declared his retirement yet, he could well give one last go from No3 spot.

Beware Indians

"ONE CAN'T KEEP TALENT DOWN FOREVER!"
