Dean Jones Ricky Ponting is still the best

Dean Jones feels that Ricky Ponting is still the best captain that they can have from this present team. Ricky is the second successful captain after Steve Waugh.If Australia loose this series against England then there will be voices from people and media telling Ponting to quit.Dean Jones said that I will still feel Ponting should back himself and his team mates should help him.

Ponting was helpless with some major players like Brett Lee and Brad Haddin getting injured and he does not have full team strength.The comment made by Jeff Thomson on Ponting has added more pressure to Ricky Ponting.Lets hope Ponting pulls out some magic and show the whole world what he is capable of.

Ashes 2009 : Jeff Thomson feels Ricky Ponting is a crap captain

Jeff Thomson the former Australian captain has attacked the Aussie captain Ricky Ponting badly.He has said that he feels Ponting lacks leadership qualities and so far his team has done well only because of the quality of players that they had and there is nothing so great about his captaincy.He has also termed that Ponting right now has a average team and so the performances are also below average.Jeff Thomson said that he wondered what is Ponting going to do with the captaincy when it was given to him way back in 2004,and he added that he has still not improved a bit.

Jeff Thomson also hit against Brett Lee and he felt that Lee should not be in the playing eleven and he is not fit to make it there.The final verdict that
Jeff Thomson gave was England team have a better captain and Australian team have a better side.

Jeff Thomson had a word of praise for Ponting that he is by far the best batsman and the only problem with him his the lack of leadership qualities.I feel this could even be a tactical move by the Oz great Jeff Thomson just to trigger more intensity in the Aussie camp.
