Are we having an early election.....what is Ponting's opinion?

Ponting: We usually play our best batsman at #3. Perhaps, Pathan is their best batsman

 

This has to be considered seriously and here is how I see it,
1. Ponting is their best batsman
2. If our best batsman is who everyone thinks it is, well he should not even have been playing.
3. If not, Tendulkar was already out and hence rules would not allow him to come in and bat again.
4. If the third alternative, then he was already at the wicket.
5. Now if he meant that Uthappa was our best batsman, I reserve my comments.

IMO, the comment was more tongue in cheek, trying to rub it in 

Not sure why there have been no reports on this press conference - he questioned SG's role, sending in out of form RD, Yuvi's ability to play spin, MSD's inability to finish, sending in IP at 3. Basically he questioned everyone except SRT and RU

I never knew that Ponting could come up with such good tongue in cheek stuff ... he ribbed SRT too earlier about not having to field in half of his matches.

What did he have to say about SG's role?

not too much. He said ganguly did not seem to know what his role in the team was. It was basically a half-liner/one-liner about SG, RD, IP, YS, MSD

Was he asked about them or did he just decide to give his wise opinions about them?

May be he was asked actually.....u know how our reporters generally lap-up to anything with white skin.

Dunno exactly. The Qs were not loud enough to hear. But he was not specifically asked about each player. He was asked some Q and said all of these in reply

Ah well a fair idea now on who our next coach is going to be in 5 years from now.

This guy was soundly thrashed for his drunken mis-behavior at a Kokata night-club. Hope he hasn't forgotten that.
