Congratulations to Ricky Ponting

In today's game, something that will be reviewed upon its completion, Ricky Ponting scored a century. This could prove vital as the game goes on, however it is not in this context that I am offering my congratulations. Ponting said "It means a lot to me to do well here. It's my time to stand up and make sure I score some runs." Ponting, until today averaged 12.28 from eight Tests and fourteen innings on Indian soil. Ok, so he was dismissed by a spinner four the fourteenth time in fifteen outings, but this is still an achievement, especially considering his statement of intent came only a day previously.
