Ponting likely to continue as Oz skipper

Melbourne , Mon, 14 Mar 2011 ANI

Melbourne, Mar. 14 (ANI): Former Australian cricket captains Allan Border, Steve Waugh and Mark Taylor are unlikely to recommend the sack for current skipper Ricky Ponting during their forensic review of Australian cricket.

 

And, Cricket Australia boss, James Sutherland, too insists that Ponting's captaincy is not in jeopardy despite former captain Ian Chappell and former stars Doug Walters and Geoff Lawson, demanding his sacking.

 

The panel will interview key figures, including Ponting.

 

"We're very comfortable with the performance of the team under Ricky," The Daily Telegraph quoted Sutherland, as saying.

 

"These sorts of things are very much in the hands of selectors. (But) the first thing for any Australian player is performance and Ricky's contribution as a leader . . . he's doing a fantastic job with the one-day side at the World Cup," Sutherland added.

 

Ponting has said he would take no offence if the review suggested ways he could improve as captain.

 

"That's what I'm all about-I'm all about learning, every day," he said.

 

"If there's something that comes out of the review that's going to make me a better player or captain, great. I think that's the attitude and approach we all should have," he added. (ANI)
