Ponting is right

Ponting is right when he says Sachin and Dravid couldnt bear the pressure of captaincy inspite of the fact that they were very good players.
Time will tell if Kumble falls in the same category or not.
One thing is for sure..Ganguly doenst fall in that category and the fact that Ponting didnt mention Ganguly among those to couldnt take pressure...speaks for itself the amount of respect Ganguly has just for his leadership in cricketing world.
Kumble as captain we are already on backfoot as we wont play two spinners and Australia have 4 left handers in top 6 so bhajji has to sit out most of the matches.
Test team for australia 1.Karthik or Sehwag 2.Dravid 3.Laxman 4.Sachin 5.Ganguly 6.Yuvraj 7.Dhoni or Pathan 8.Kumble 9 zAHEER 10.RP 11.sREESANTH
With kumble as captain we only have two options. 1.Play Kartik or Dhoni 2.Dravid to open 3.If Kartik PLays then pathan can play 4.If DHONI plays then sehwag can play.
