expecting an announcement in the next couple of days for his career in all forms

[bomberboy0618]

I wouldn't retire on the back of the test series just gone, but I definitely would for ODI. It may give him a little more longevity.

[Master Q]

I doubt he'll retire. If so, he'll just from ODI...

[Cicjose]

he will have to commit to his future in all forms tho and ODI retirement is a start

[c4v3m4n]

Surely Ponting would continue through until the 2013 Ashes series.... ???

[TheMailman]

He'll defs go to 2013.

Hopefully he ends it there on a positive note and doesn't stay around too long like Matthew Hayden

[Cicjose]

he has already been around too long

[pyronerd]

he has already been around too long

he didn't recently make a double hundred or anything, nothing like that at all ::)

[Cicjose]

you have conveniently forgotten the two years prior to that but i will let that slide

[TheMailman]

Yeah but Hayden had 0 form.

At least Ponting had been scoring 60s and 70s before the India tour.

2 years without a ton doesn't take away from hitting half centuries. He may not have been fantastic but he was consistent at least. :P

Form 2 years ago doesnt change how you play now, if we were dropping people on 2 years ago form, we would be in trouble.

Attempted Mankad form Ashwin on Thirimane. :o

Attempted Mankad form Ashwin on Thirimane. :o

Fair enough withdrawing the appeal. It is a contentious issue in the whole law v spirit of the game. But if it does happen again, gone.

And they could have Mankad-ed him about seven other times so far...he's definitely not getting the message. ::)
