Ricky Ponting: "THis Test match will be my last"

Based on performances on this series. Not good enough output for an Australian batsman"

"Hungrier than ever and want this win more than anything"

 

[Spikey]

"Thing that struck home was even though my preparation and feeling was good I was falling at the big moments."

 

[benchmark00]

Decision made by Ricky, not the selectors.

 

[Spikey]

"I haven't been performing consistently over the last 12-18 months. I believe now is the right time to be making this decision."

 

[Spikey]

i can't believe MJ is gonna get to play in Ponting's last game

Punter got emotional when telling his team mates. Couldn't get everything out.

 

[uvelocity]

**** I hope he goes big

 

[NUFAN]

"The final straw was the inclusion of Johnson back into the team".

Ends equal on test caps with Steve Waugh. Two of my favourite cricketers ever.

Siddle's big heart isn't gonna take missing Ponting's last test too well
