Ponting was disappointed by the lack of intention in the Australian batting drive that was included in 195 and 200 at the Melbourne Test.

“I can count on one hand in Two Test matches how many shooting shots have been played, how many hits on the ground have you seen? You can’t tell me that no short balls or full balls have been thrown. It has been enough,” Ponting said in Uplayable Podcast after India’s victory.
“Shubman Gill and Ajinkya Rahane played more good shots than I think Australia has played in the two Trials.”
