Message: [QUOTE="m1c, post: 2411054, member: 1944"] Yes, please go out whilst you're on top, Ricky. The Ponting bashing was entirely justified - he went 5 years for 5 centuries averaging in the high 30s!! The witch hunt was on for Steve Waugh after ONE poor year. The role the media plays in team selections is quite distressing. I've no doubt he'd have been gone last summer had the journo's got off the Ponting bandwagon. Good on him for scoring runs, however they've come on the two flattest pitches in Australia under some of the least competitive conditions I've witnessed in recent times. With the Windies and then the Bangas coming up he has the opportunity to cement his spot in the side for the Saffas and then England. They will be the real test as to whether he has clung on too long. He should be harshly judged if that is proven so. BTW what about the 'Michael Clarke - best bat in the world' articles that are starting to pop up. Lawl. Clarkey doesn't even make it into a World IX at this stage. I've been pushing his barrow for the last 4 years, however he now might have gone from utterly underrated to slightly overrated in the space of a series. What a fickle lot the public are. [/QUOTE]
