‘I am enjoying the challenge’

Melbourne: Beleaguered captain Ricky Ponting on Wednesday defended Australia’s recent defeats, saying it was going through a transitional phase with youngsters coming in just when seniors were running out of form but claimed he was enjoying the challenge.

“Everyone knows that Australia is going through a transitional phase at the moment, which presents an exciting challenge that I’m really enjoying,” he said.

“The strength of the team in the past was when younger guys came in everyone stood up and you didn’t notice that transitional phase. But now we’ve got two or three young guys all in at the same time and a few of us are off the boil, so everything is being highlighted at the moment,” he wrote in his column for The Australian. Ponting said he was still judging the newcomers and learning what treatment would work for them. — PTI
