Clarke: Sacking Ponting was tough

AUSTRALIAN captain Michael Clarke has said he was partly responsible for the sacking of former skipper Ricky Ponting from the one-day squad.

"I'm 100 percent part of the selection panel - that's part now of the captain's job," he wrote in his newspaper column. "We've made this decision as a panel. It is tough not having the great Ricky Ponting out there... playing one-day cricket for us but that's the decision we've made." Ponting's axing from the one-day side this week triggered fierce debate in the country.
