Ricky Ponting is under pressure, which is increasing all the time, and failure to win the third Test at Perth could be the last straw, writes Andy Bull in the Guardian.
It is not just that Phil Hughes and Steve Smith are back in the team, there are plenty of pundits and members of the public crying out that the time has come for the likes of Mark Cameron, Mitchell Starc, Steve O'Keefe and Usman Khawaja. Where would Ponting fit into that? If Clarke continues to out-perform him with the bat then his position will become untenable.
