Victory only answer to arrogance
My stance on Ricky Ponting being rested is that it smacked of arrogance; it is understandable but reeks of unwarranted arrogance

My stance on Ricky Ponting being rested is that it smacked of arrogance; it is understandable but reeks of unwarranted arrogance. Thus the necessity to put Australia in their place, writes Mark Richardson in the Herald on Sunday.
The Australian cricket team is a shadow of its former self and to rest their key man in Ponting says one of two things. They are either still in arrogant denial or simply do not care for the Chappell-Hadlee trophy and, to them, this series is nothing more than practice on the road to more important matters.
