Ricky Ponting Bowling Quotations

I am the captain, but I am not batting for everyone in the side and I am not bowling for everyone,

We came up a little bit short with our batting but our new ball bowling was outstanding,

Every individual has got to put their hand up and stand up in a game that counts... There's no other option now, if guys can't get up for a game like the one we've got coming up, then they shouldn't be playing. I wouldn't think a batting change would come from outside the squad, and to tell the truth I don't think a bowling change would either.

Brett is like he is because of his pace. If he drops back he becomes easier to hit so we addressed that last night. It's a confidence thing and about understanding the way he has to bowl. We've addressed these issues quite a few times with Brett, we did it with his one-day bowling a few years ago, and hopefully today is a step in right direction.

I think we've been a lot more disciplined with our bowling. Our batting at times has been more disciplined as well.
