Its not wise to sack Ponting as captain
Many of the cricket pundits in australia are in favour of sacking Ricking Ponting as captain. Ian Chappel and the Australian cricket board are at front among them. They think the team which played in Ashes against England was not enough competent and experienced to won the Ashes as before Mcgrath, Shane Warne and Gilchrist were the shining players due to their skills and performance Australian managed to rule the cricket world for a decade. This is the second time for England to win ashes two time consecutively.
Meanwhile, former Australian Test star Dean Jones has said Warne would jump at the chance to return to international cricket as Australian captain.
Jones told BBC Radio Five that the leg-spin legend would be a useful stop-gap while current vice-captain Michael Clarke gained experience.
“Ask Shane Warne to come out of retirement just for two years, then give it to Michael Clarke,” he said.
“A lot of people might be thinking ‘that’s stupid’ but it will take him two months, three months to get himself fit, just let him play the Test matches and, I tell you what, he would do it in a heartbeat.
“I don’t think they’ll do that, I don’t think they’ll go that far but it’ll be an option, I tell you, that’ll be looked at,” Jones added
Ponting, who is 34, is set to return to Australia for a short break before returning towards the end of the one-day international series against England.
