I noticed an interview on cricinfo with Bill Lawry - even in the interview he uses one of his cliches:

Still donkeyless, I repeat, still donkeyless.
Though donkey paint sales in Mumbai have gone up 84% since the end of the Adelaide test, which suggests we're going to see a donkey or two with a player/coach's name on it in the coming days

Except for the fact that since he has started scoring runs again he has gotten no protection. Might as well have been opening.

I ****ing hope so if he comes back bowling the way he was the year or so before he left. If he can finally work out how to use a cricket ball, then maybe he could get a look in if everyone else was struggling/dead.

Stupid reasoning. If you still have a passion for the game, then why retire? Ponting has the next 50+ years to remain retired.

Let's be honest, scoring a couple of tons in a 4-0 victory against this indian team is really hardly going out on a high.
Just a thought: Don't most players who go out on a high suffer from injury and that sort of stuff? I mean, Ponting is hardly suffering from wear and tear is he? No problems in his personal life ala Warne either

Ponting strikes me as the kind of person to play on for as long as Tendulkar has (20 years) if he is in good form and still contributing to the side. I hope so anyway. It's not just that he scored runs against this poor attack/side; but he really has looked well doing it. He has got that inevitably about him again - that feeling that unless you get him out early he is going to score a ton.
Maybe we're doing him and even India a disservice. The innings he has played really stemmed the fall of wickets. Same with Clarke. If he had continued his poor form the series could have been much closer. As it is, neither he nor Clarke gave the Indians a sniff.

Yeah, it's one thing to say 'well, lets not get carried away too much because India were crap' when Ponting generally came in with the match in the balance.
And ganeshran's reasoning is just terrible. Ponting clearly still has plenty of hunger for runs, and giving him the tap on the shoulder now when the top 3 is still pretty unconvincing is ********.
