Cricket: ‘Ponting should call it quits’

MELBOURNE: Former Australia wicket-keeper Ian Healy has joined the ranks of experts who believe that Ricky Ponting’s career as an international cricketer is drawing to a close. Ponting was picked for the second Test in the ongoing series against South Africa despite a poor run of form. “I think it’s a pretty easy decision,” said Healy. “He’s been on the wane for some time and without something special, it’s time for Ricky to say ‘I’m finishing’.”
