Clarification
I was underlining that Ponting and his teams beat the other teams using their skills "on the field". That is very different to media hacks trying to increase circulation for their newspapers by looking for a scapegoat for the poor Aussie performance in the latest Ashes and stabbing him in the back.
As for the record, in the 2009 Season the Aussies won 6 out of 8 Tests, 20 out of 26 ODIs and 4 out of 5 Twenty20s. including the ICC Champions Trophy. Currently Australia is ranked top of the ICC ODI list and fourth in the ICC Test list.
Not bad for a "disgraced" skipper!
Your post, I think, commented that Ponting could not complain about receiving personal criticism (he doesn't complain as you pointed out) because he had "destroyed" other teams.Not sure how your post relates to mine.
