The curtains may have well and truly come down on Ricky Ponting's test career with his repeated failures to get runs against the number one test team in the world (South Africa) on their tour down under......
The Aussies are ruthless when it comes to judging the worth of their cricketers and their place in their side, perform or perish is their mantra, and there is no scope whatsoever for sloppiness or silly sentimentality........
Ponting may well find himself falling by the wayside unless he sees the reading on the wall and either announces his immediate retirement from the longest form of the game at the conclusion of the second test or then at the end of the ongoing test series.......
Will a certain 39 year old Indian cricketer who is well past his prime take a cue from this enfant terrible of Australian cricket or then continue with his nocturnal tendency of depriving a deserving youngster of a much desired place in the Indian test eleven on the basis of past laurels and glories......
The writing's very much on the wall too see, pity our cricketers conveniently develop partial blindness every time the writing comes up before them.........
