Ricky Ponting gives Andrew Symonds kiss of death
Welcome news for Australia cricket as Ricky Ponting has given Andrew Symonds his vote of confidence. This usually happens to a player just before he gets dropped (the kiss of death) so I'm slightly more optimistic of a 5 bowler attack going into the 2nd Test. That would solve the Australian selector's problem of preventing Shane Warne burn-out. Meanwhile, the South African captain is going into mind-game overdrive as Graeme Smith accuses Shane Warne of trying to take over the Australian captaincy. Regarding Warnie's sledging, he's struck back, saying "The guys have started to take a laugh at him here and there". Things are definitely hotting up for an interesting Boxing Day Test.
