Pom gives IPL opener massive send-off after getting sweet revenge for first-ball four

Ricky Ponting has been a much better captain in the field over the last few matches. With a weakened team, and missing some of his go-to guys, he’s finishing the summer much stronger than he began it.
But – and it’s a big one – he has been fairly criticized for not having a Plan B to fall back on when things go awry. And he did it again in their most recent ODI.
Throughout the entire summer we’ve seen that South Africa have been better at chasing. In fact, that’s pretty much all we’ve seen. Australia has won the only game where South Africa set a target, and I’m not sure T20 counts.
The definition of insanity is to keep implementing the same losing strategy. So, why not ask South Africa to bat Ricky?
It’s because Ricky’s Plan A is to bat first and it’s a winning strategy. Clearly batting second is South Africa’s preference, and as a winning strategy, it seems to be working much better than ours.
It’s time for Ponting to think outside the box.
