I get very annoyed when I hear people/media saying that Ricky Ponting should be "sacked". I do beleive (I said this after the first test) that Ponting should retire or retire as captain, but for people to say sack him is just stupid. Plus I don't beleive Clarke is barely proving himself to become captain, so if Ponting does retire (which I think he will sometime in '11) at the moment someone else should be brought in for the captaincy and Clarke should just remain as vice captain (I know alot of people will probably disagree with this).
Alot of people, me included are obviously pissed off with us losing, but some people take their comments too far. The bottom line is that a majority of the side is not in form and needs to find their feet again and because we were winning everything for around 20 years with players like Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden, etc, all these players are gone and times have changed, and the aussies will definately be back up there again.
I reckon alot of people also don't think that eventhough we have lost the Ashes, if we win the last test it is a drawn series, so with the terrible form we are currently in, to possibly draw a series, really isn't that bad. It would be good to see a couple of different younger blokes given more of a go for the future, like Cameron White from Victoria. I know Camo and had a couple of beers with his dad a couple of months ago and my uncle went fishing with Camo the other day. Hi Camo! Tell the selecters to pick ya! lol.
