It's so upsetting to see Ponting failing repeatedly :(.

It'll be terrible way to retire as well, quite frankly.

As a neutral I have to say this is engrossing stuff - it is setting itself up as an absolutely cracking series

Martin: "Ponying will bounce back. He's one of Australia's best ever batsmen and has a good four years to delight us. He'll probably deliver in the second innings! But if not, don't drop a great! Drop the slow coach in there at the moment for Warner. It'll be a long time before you get another Ponting!!!"
Is he saying we should drop Khawaja? Surely this is exactly how he should be batting right now, if he got out trying to hit runs it would be a mind explosion and horrible play.

Agreed. Was just about to say Khawaja's temperament here has "test match" written all over it.

It gets worse

Zaid: "Can anyone please tell Khawaja that Australia is trying to win and not save the test. I hold him slightly responsible for Watson's wicket as he has shut the shop completely since he has come in." That's a bit harsh, but he is facing a severe test at the moment.

Yeah

Another one. You see Kallis, Watto and Hughes go for it and people forget this is a 5 day match. If Clarke and Khawaja decide to try to score at 75+ than we could very easily give up a lead.
