Test great Ricky Ponting facing selectors' axe

22.05.12

It was an ugly dismissal. Now for the million-dollar question - do the selectors axe Australia's greatest batsman since Bradman?

Many will argue Ponting has earned the right to exit on his terms after amassing more Test centuries (39) and runs (12,640) than any countryman in Test history.

But eight days shy of his 37th birthday, Ponting is losing control of his destiny and it is becoming hard to mount an argument as to why he should be a selection untouchable for the first Test against India.

Even allowing for his fighting 62 and 78 in his previous two Test outings, the reality is Ponting has gone 30 Test innings without a ton.

With the batting cavalry set to return - Shane Watson and Shaun Marsh are expected to be fit for Boxing Day - Ponting could be walking the (baggy) green mile.

"Every batsman is disappointed," paceman Peter Siddle said last night of Australia's top-order collapse.

"It was one of those wickets, both top-orders found it was hard work early on both mornings.
