Ricky Ponting Batting Quotations

I am the captain, but I am not batting for everyone in the side and I am not bowling for everyone,

We came up a little bit short with our batting but our new ball bowling was outstanding,

Every individual has got to put their hand up and stand up in a game that counts... There's no other option now, if guys can't get up for a game like the one we've got coming up, then they shouldn't be playing. I wouldn't think a batting change would come from outside the squad, and to tell the truth I don't think a bowling change would either.

The team the West Indies picked was fairly light on with their batting and we knew that if we made some early in-roads that we might be able to go through them reasonably quickly.
