Ricky Ponting has revealed Shaun Marsh's elevation to No. 3 in the Australian Test batting order was a "long-term plan" of the captain Michael Clarke. Ponting said he was happy to move down to No. 4 for as long as he keeps on playing.
As he prepared for a rare appearance with Sheffield Shield Tasmania v Western Australia at the WACA, Ponting spoke honestly test batting order, which are blended to meet the three marshes, while Ponting, Hussey and Michael Clarke all make a one place.
Clarke's vision team has so far been made clear, it is equally certain that the vice-captain Shane Watson did not move toward her demanding job opening batsman and allrounder.
"It was a long-term plan is to have Michael Shaun go to 3 and I propose to move No.4 Michael and five to six years and Huss," Ponting told reporters in Perth. "So what was not just something I do not think a one-off for this game. Michael sees that in the best interest of the team to move forward for a period. I'll be three this week, probably three in one dayers in South Africa and probably fall to four test matches.
"When I arrived in the Australian batting at six was hard. Waiting to the amount of time BAT was for me something that was very foreign to me. But I think 3-4 is not such a big change from three to six, and it was certainly not the last test because I was early both times. minor adjustment. It just gives me a little more time when our fielding more to get my head around what I must do to bat. "
Ponting also spoke about the state of flux, the team is currently all Cricket Australia decides on a series of agreements that are recommended by Argus verification. The director of team performance first be completed so that the person named influence the choice of the coach, national coach and part-time selectors.
This means that Clarke will go to South Africa with a lot of weight on his shoulders on the decision-making, for interim coach Troy Cooley did his lack of experience as a selector and a reluctance to make lasting changes for the establishment of management with mixed results by output coach Tim Nielsen last four years.
"Unfortunately, when things work in much of the responsibility goes back to the master for the next tour," said Ponting. "It is important that the captain, vice captain senior players and probably do everything we can in the whole group on this trip.
"Troy has been around a long time and the group that includes all really good, but somehow become the role of selection at the time, so it is very foreign to him. We will do what we can . This is probably not an ideal situation, but we knew that the path longer and the boys played in this way, then everything should work well. "
Ponting said a number of changes wrought by the magazine Argo has been designed to reduce the load on the captain, but prepared for the short term would be difficult to Clarke, while new positions were filled and settled.
"Having been there and done in the past, you want to be able to focus on your needs and the cricket team and probably not much out of this if you can," said Ponting. "So many of these roles change, take some of this strain, if you like the captain. It is quite hard work when you are right there is the captain and worry about your own game, rather than everything else that goes with it. We'll see how it goes, but he [Clarke] has he got great support from his teammates all around him. "
Ponting of appearances for Tasmania, which won the shield in his absence last summer, would not be so rare, when the program was balanced with the strongest possible national races, one of the Argus is also advisable to check.
"When the Australian summer packed as it is wise at the international level, makes it too difficult for players to play international cricket was," Ponting said. "We were all like the opportunity to do a little 'more. There are countries, and even our club, you probably appreciate, if you can come back and spend more time in the next crop of potential international players."
While Hussey misses the match after his time in the Champions League Twenty20, Ponting said he was never in doubt for the match, and categorically rejected all reports to the contrary.
"Some confusion was probably the result of our vacation dates are changed, the coach at the time of the Australian team in Sri Lanka was excluded because the date on which the leave is different than now," Ponting said. "As it turns out I learned that on Thursday I played the game, but I was excited about the opportunity to play the game."
